Dont fall for Eddie Hearn's bull****, If AJ beats Parker as I expect he will I don't want to see Miller get a shot. Miller is beating Wilders left overs why should he get a shot at three belts. If Whyte becomes Wilders mandatory and Povetkin becomes Aj's then I dont mind if the two get rid of their mandatories before squaring off. Anyone who doesn't wanna see the two best in the division square off isn't a boxing fan, they are fan boys and don't come here talking about money because you ain't gonna see penny of it, so why not put pressure on these guys to make the fight happen.
True it's the fight we all want. But Hearn has made it quite clear that he plans to make the fight in late 2018. Miller or Povetkin will likely be next. Hearn still likely thinks the fight needs building to maximise revenue and he's likely right. 14K fans paid to see Wilder last night at the Barclays center and that's 2K more than before for Wilder. So while Wilder is slowly becoming a bigger draw he still has some work to do to build enough interest from US fans. Joshua likely fights in the US vs Miller, hopefully with Wilder on the undercard vs Breazeale or Whyte, that would be the perfect set up for a unification fight later in the year.
It's not just building it. AJ and Hearn will not agree to 50/50 and nor should they. Until Wilder gets real and accepts his not the A side that fight isn't going to happen.
The reason I don’t wanna see Miller is because I know Eddie will then say we have a mandatory in Povetkin so if it’s not Wilder next then his mandatory next and then Wilder late 2018.
I want to see it but it's a business and money talks. As long as one fighter is making unrealistic demands there is a problem.
He has said he will accept their offer if they are willing to accept it in the rematch should he win.
To which Hearn said deal. The problem being Wilder talks via the media and his people have never called to get around the table.
I doubt it gets made because neither will want to travel, and risk getting jobbed. Wilder wont want to travel because he knows all about the British stoppage. Wilder would have been stopped in the 7th by a British referee had that been AJ instead of Ortiz dishing that out. The Takam stoppage was a complete joke. AJ wont travel because he knows the judging is messed up in the USA. The judges had Wilder 1 point up in a fight he was 4-6 points behind in. Only if/when one of them loses and is without belts could it get made.
You believe everything Eddie says, huh? I like AJ and Wilder I don’t care who wins man, I just wanna see the fight and I don’t care about the business side because I won’t see a penny. Eddie should make the offer, the A-side makes the offers so why is he waiting on Wilders people? If it’s not sort by the end of this year then AJ is ducking simple as.
I think Wilder would travel, I don’t think he will come there to win on points. AJ is the money man, he isn’t a Cuban that doesn’t know how to speak English, the money will be in AJs corner regardless of where this takes place.
