    Did you even watch the video? No one even offered him the 15 mil. It was just a rumor, like Whyte supposedly getting 5 mil to step aside. I know boxing tends to overpay fighters but I doubt anyone is just gonna hand over 20 mil for step asides

    But he's not even trying to negotiate. We all know the Saudis have that money. Joshua needs to actually try to step aside and allow undisputed if he knows whats good for his career and for undisputed. He could improve and come back better for a shot at the undisputed champion. But i have a feeling even if they did offer him 15 million, his pride would get in the way, fact is he's been saying that he'll be willing to make smart moves but other times he hates when people approach him about stepping aside.

    That ego is too big. I feel like Joshua is going to decline the offer after stringing the boxing world on in the end.

    Obviously it’s better if he steps aside but I seriously doubt demanding 15 mil to do nothing is that easy. If the rematch is already in the works I doubt anyone is gonna be like “Ok sure AJ we’ll give you 15 mil for a vacation”. Also what exactly is gonna happen if AJ does step aside? Are we really gonna rely on Fury to make the fight with Usyk happen. He’s clearly back on drugs and isn’t a gym rat. With Fury it doesn’t take much to not fight. If the step asides do happen I’d honestly be shocked if Fury fights Usyk

    He could be contracted to fight the winner, although Fury might retire, i do think Usyk would follow through a contract of 1 more Joshua fight (provided he beats Fury)

    Fury is off the rails a lot but i can tell he wants the Usyk fight. He's pushing for it.

    He knows he has to take it to Usyk, fight him on the inside and lean on him all day with that extra fat, he cannot outbox Usyk, im not even sure Duesseldorf Fury could outbox Usyk. He's doing the right thing

    The English will knight this biddiness man idol one day. Probably erect a statue or two. He'll get an honorary MBA at Oxford, give talks for a million pounds a pop. Sounds like satire? This is the Anglosphere, all bets are off at this stage.

    AJ's idea of smart business is throwing all your money into putting a hotel on Whitechapel Rd.

    It's not the responsibility for AJ to make sure Fury v usyk happens.

    AJ should only be concerned with his own career and who and when he fights next.

    You don't usually hear smart people saying they're smart. Always liked AJ but he's not coming across well here..

    On the flip side it's about time he turned heel.
