    Dubblechin - I’ve read all of your replies now and you seem like quite an articulate and educated person. However I can only assume that you are making these posts because you want people to react and therefore you must have something missing in your life. This must give you a sense of involvement you are clearly lacking. Maybe try some online dating or go to a bar and talk to some real people?

    Why is Deontay Wilder held to lower standards in comparison to Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury? Tyson Fury signs with ESPN, he's ducking Wilder, Wilder doesn't sign with Dazn which includes AJ fight, it's a business decision. Wilder can fight anywhere, but won't. Even though Wilder himself said he could fight on ESPN in the end his team said they wouldn't let him fight on ESPN even though ESPN offered him a way higher guarantee than Showtime did in the first fight, and thats Furys fault? Both AJ and Wilder have been offered way more money by DAZN, but it's AJ's fault that he didn't opt to take less money to stay on Showtime like Wilder? lol! Stop acting like Wilder is Mayweather status and the division marches to the beat of his drum. You're expecting guys to concede all A side privileges to a B side AND take less money to do so. Delusional.

    He did. (LOL)

    Wilder and Fury agreed before their first fight that they'd fight twice. The WBC agreed to let Wilder and Fury fight twice in a row. The two teams said they had agreed to terms for the rematch. Warren asked the WBC to give both sides a couple more days to iron out the details of the rematch. The WBC agreed.

    Then Warren and Fury took that time to sign a deal with ESPN ... then said they needed more tuneups before fighting Wilder and Arum wanted Wilder to come to ESPN and fight more tuneups, too. So he could "build" the fight.

    A fight that Wilder's team and the WBC thought was all but signed.

    Fury asked for more time to sign a contract, then left town, signed with a new channel and said he needed to fight some other guys first.

    THAT's A DUCK.

    Wilder said Fury signing to ESPN wouldn't make a difference because he was a free agent. Slave master Finkle said otherwise. Fight was never going to happen because of Wilders refusal to leave his network(that isn't even if his network), but others are expected to leave theirs for his?

    They were all on the same network, EINSTEIN. (LOL)

    Good Lord.

    All of Joshua's title fights were on Showtime except his last one. All of Fury's comeback fights and his title fight with Wilder were on Showtime.

    THEY LEFT. Wilder didn't. Jesus. Did you just start watching this?

    I don't understand how these Wilder fans can claim Fury to be a duck artist then defend Wilder for doing exactly the same thing. Lets look at the facts
    Their rhetoric seems to be that Wilder knows his worth and he wants 50/50 and if he gets that then of course he would take the fight with Joshua. However, Wilder and his team didn't even look to negotiate with DAZN, for not one, but two fights with Joshua that would have each (individually) paid him more than his entire career to date!? Baffling I know!! But the irony doesn't seem to end there!!
    In addition, they continue to believe he is the one truely looking to unify the division and he continues to have the audacity to bang on about 'one name, one face' etc having never attempted to make a unification fight ( please don't mention the fake 50 mil) with Joshua, or any other champion in his 4 years as WBC Champ. If this wasn't proof enough of his King Duck status, the Champ or Chump as Brezealle likes to call him has just turned down over 100 million pounds including 20 million to fight Brezealle so he can make a return to Showtime on a non PPV card, putting it down to his loyalty to the fans. Now apparently he's also guaranteed to make as much if not more with Showtime by fighting on non PPV when he made less fighting Fury which was PPV!
    Lastly looking at the facts, it get's Clearer by the day that there are just too many contradictions coming from Wiler and his followers to believe anything they now say. I mean, I'm not sure Wilder has that many fans judging by his live gate attendances or PPV sales history but hey ESPN said he's more googled than Joshua so he must be the A side now right?? Maybe that's the reason for his latest excuse that DAZN doesn't have enough subscribers yet and he wants millions to see him k.o Joshua on Showtime PPV but that's because Wilder knows his worth (repeat rehash)

    And Joshuas last fight would've been on Showtime vs Wilder had Wilder not lost his pen after accepting. They all left to get paid, why hasn't Wilder?

    Wilder is getting paid. I guess you don't read Dan Rafael.

    And Joshua didn't leave for more money. Did his purse for the Povetkin fight go up compared to his purses for the Klitschko and Parker fights (which were on Showtime)?

    What was the BIG DEAL DAZN signed Joshua to? What was Joshua's pay bump per fight?

    Are you telling me Joshua is making more to fight Miller on DAZN than he got for Wlad and Parker?

    I must've missed that.

    No. DAZN is paying him $15 million for this fight. $4 million is coming from MSG. $10 million+ is supposed to come from PPV in the UK ... the 4 a.m. PPV (?) that might be an overreach.

    But it makes a nice headline. You were just off on DAZN's contribution by about $20 million.

    DAZN offered Wilder more than $15 million to fight Breazeale on DAZN. Showtime's working on a deal to pay Wilder more than DAZN's entire offer for three fights.

    I think Joshua is getting ripped off. He should've just fought Miller in the UK on PPV. He's never going to hit that PPV mark at 4 a.m.
