    AJ is huge no doubt, even my nan knows who he is but i wouldn't say fury is a big draw. He still has plenty of tickets left for his comeback and didn't sell particullay well before. Barley sold a ticket for the Wlad rematch.

    His suspension and inactivity has probably boosted his profile ironically.

    True. The soap opera aspect of his life helped too. He was rarely out of the front pages of the papers for awhile. The best thing that happened to him though in terms of earning potential was the rise in popularity of AJ, because there's a trickle down effect which has boosted the careers of Whyte, Bellew and once he gets his act together, Fury himself.

    I don’t care if you are Floyd mayweather, a 50 million garuntee is the biggest garuntee ever in the sport. AJ will never be loaded enough to look at that offer and say it’s not good enough monetarily.

    He is not as big as AJ but if he fought AJ they would be his biggest fight outside of Wilder. If Fury can get active and talking crap again, you will see people talking about him.

    Well maybe you're right. I remember Dana white offering Mayweather 25 million guaranteed. He turned it down. When they fought Mcgregor made 100 mil and Mayweather made a couple of hundred mil. That's a good point you make.

    Is that what he actually said or just something taken out of the context?

    25million is chicken feed for mayweather to fight in a completely different sport.


    He earned 100 million fighting Pacquiao so it's not crazy for him to be turning his nose up in response to 25 mil.

    Joshua or any HW have never learnt any where close to 50 million and this coward is on the verge of jeopardizing the deal because he wants to "" feel secure" fighting in the UK. His words not mine

    50/50 is not equitable as it does not account for AJ being the A side.

    I was quoting and rebutting the other guy who said "I don't care if you are Floyd Mayweather". So it's good you agree also.

    50 mil usd is 37 mil gbp. So you are right that it's a big payday. But then again Joshua makes at least 20 mil gbp fighting stiffs and Wilder makes about 1 mil. Joshua clearly doesn't need the cash and is the A side and can dictate te

    Al Haymon, Showtime ? These are Mayweather's Boys you are talking about. You think Showtime will just give Wilder, Finkle and Di Bella the opportunity never mind the CHANCE to mess up a PPV EVENT ? The Marketing and Promoting of this fight will be done by Showtime and CBS. Highly likely also Matchroom USA will be promoting the fight in partnership also, so they will have input

    We still dont know the official terms of that 50M Offer. It could easily be the 50M Only Goes to the Winner. Or the fight has to do a sufficient amount of PPV Buys/Gate/Other Revenues to give that 50M. Joshua however HAS to take this fight in the US- he has the chance to go from Local to Global, His Main Sponser is Under Armour a American Compnay who i am sure are begging him to go to the US

    What kind of **** are you talking now? Hearn confirmed on IFL that the offer is legit. Haymon answered his questions and there are a few more clarifications to be had. It’s a $50m guarantee for Joshua. Why is this so hard for Joshua bum boys to accept? Your master Hearn has confirmed the offer is genuine, he has spoken to Haymon.

    We do know that is 50 mil garunteed, it’s not dependent on the sales, he also get 50% on top of it does well so if it does 150 mil, AJ would get 50 mil regardless then 25 mil on top. So it would be 75 mil each for both fighters.

    Wilder could derail the Cash Cow across the pond however he might also find himself fighting for survival in the mid to late rounds.
    Just make the fight
