    I believe both had parts in ducking
    Aj priced himself too much outta fight and did matchroom
    Proper negotiations could of been had behind doors without spouting it out
    If fight wanted to be made it could of been

    So we’re supposed to believe that after 40 or so fights against fighters ranked outside the top 100 Wilder suddenly wanted to fight the best heavyweight on the planet! Lmao

    This is what happened . . .

    Wilder, stung by the justifiable criticism of his resume, was desperate to put a name on his record so went for a washed up, drug addled, suicidal, obese, alcoholic who hadn’t laced up a glove in almost 3 years.
    A cherry pick that could be spun into a great victory after the fact.

    Unfortunately for Wilder he lost the first fight and then suffered the indignity of being awarded a draw when the whole world had seen him outclassed.
    That locked Wilder into a rematch his team never wanted and thought he’d never need!

    The Wilder team never intentionally “stepped up” it was a cherry pick gone tits up!

    Finkel and Dibella gave him a meeting in New York and Eddie didnt know the exakt location and he had just one hour to find them our no deal. I do think sportingicons had a video about it.

    Between the low ball flat-fee offer from Matchroom and Wilder's team turning down the DAZN contract, it seems neither side really wanted it.

    Why would a man who not even twenty-five fights into his career has already fought Wlad, Whyte, Parker, Povetkin, unified three belts and immediately rematched Ruiz after getting his ass kicked not want to fight Wilder?

    Why would a man who tried his hardest not to fight any credible opponents until something like ten years and forty fights into his career and showed zero ambition to ever unify the titles suddenly want to fight Joshua?

    Ask yourself those two questions and the answer becomes clear.

    Nobody, in that fight the stakes would be big and also the loss would be big and no one wanted to take a risk and be left without a single bel...

    Wilder ducked Joshua or maybe Wilders management ducked Joshua, either way there was only one side who were seriously trying to make this fight happen.

    At the time both teams were afraid of there fighter losing the 0 so i am really not sure who was ducking who but if a gun was held to my head I would say Team Wilder wanted the fight less.
