    The HWs are getting knocked hard by not fighting each other on BBC Sport & 5 Live boxing team .
    The sun newspaper says don't pay the PPV this is supposed to be a Golden age.

    It might be a better era than say 5 years ago... nevertheless, it if far far removed from a "Golden Era".

    And yes, they are destroying what little we have in not fighting each other now.

    Joshua is making offers.

    the other 2 are avoiding the best offers and biggest paydays they have ever been given.

    Golden era it is not. In 12-18 months it will be more interesting when Hrgovic, Ajagba, Sirenko etc are all contenders. Several good prospects at HW on the come up.

    Not that I can see any of them beating Joshua ( it's possible either could but only a slim chance imho) but I do hope at some point Fury or Wilder stops all this nonsense about it being a 50/50 split, take the most money you will ever make and give the fans what they deserve!

    You know it's a mess in the division when The Sun are on our side....

    Mike and Steve know what they are talking about. They are a little over the top sometimes (particularly Steve Bunce) but they tend to talk a lot of sense. I find it surprising that the biased BBC are actually hating on AJ and Fury. They have quite a good connection with AJ in particular so that's very interesting.

    AJ is atleast offering. The other two seem like they are plodding along increasing their purses off of his name and will eventually cash out to him. Seems they are not counter offering and saying this fight one day will be worth more. Well one day one of them will get beat and everyone loses. Why not just call a 60/40 purse split for Wilder vs Joshua and let it go to pursebids. That way those two earn what the true value of the fight is.

    Rematch is 60/40 in favour of the winner, again at a pursebid but in the winners choice of venue.

    After that fight is done do the same again with Fury. But that will never happen in a million years as it simply makes far too much sense and it would mean Wilder actually having to take the fight.

    It's probably gonna be 3 years if ever when you see Tyson/Joshua/Wilder in the ring facing each other. We've all been through this before. Tune out for a couple years, you'll be better off than waiting for any top heavy to face a legit threat.

    Joshua is making offers but let's be realistic
    Some of the offers he or his team have made haven't been exactly fair offers for the opponent

    I'm a little small for a heavyweight at 6' and 210lb and a little past prime now at 47 but, give me a 12 week camp and I'd fight AJ, any time, anywhere for a million and I'm deadly serious. I'd likely go down cold to the first half decent punch landed but **** it, it would be worth it.

    Now we have Fury and Wilder, neither of which is worth paying what they're asking, not by a long stretch and yet in Wilder, you have a guy who has cherry picked his way to where he is today, likely to be done in a few more years, turning down a potential 120 million dollar deal.......WTAF!!!!

    And then we have Fury, the holder of the Lineal belt, a magical, mythical item that no one has ever seen or held physically that I guess is kind of like Wonder Woman's rope of truth or something, I dunno but, to hear him and his team go on, unless you hold this mythical belt, you ain't worth **** in the Heavyweight division, how much is Fury gonna sell his 'belt' for? 200 million.....it's all getting beyond a ****ing joke. If I was AJ, I'd just carry on with fighting the Millers, Usyks, Whytes and Hrgovics of the world by which time the new breed will be coming through and Wilder and Fury will be thinking 'damn, should have took that fight after all' as they contemplate their retirement.

    I particularly remember this when Floyd offered Pacquiao $45 million which was the most he ever made by far.. Pacquiao end up making almost $120 million when they eventually fought.. Which set a bad precedent for us fans because everybody became business first and fighters are more interested in letting fights build so they can maximize money and charge us a huge fee to watch it.. moral of story is that we as fans lose in the end to the suits
