I see where you’re coming from and I don’t wholly disagree but Fury has no belts and Joshua is the No1 Heavyweight in the World making that fight the priority. Should Wilder beat Joshua then Fury in a rematch for the undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World would be preferable.
The fury rematch may hold the key for PPV success in America though. The AJ fight, especially if held in the UK, doesn't. Either way i still dont trust a thing Hearn says.
Nice one Hearn. Make a semi-reasonable offer after the WBC have ordered a Fury-Wilder rematch. And as predicted the bum boys lap it up.
So a 60/40 split with a $15 mill guarantee. That's more than he made fighting Fury, a damn whole lot more, the guarantee alone is probably more than double what he made vs Fury and will be more than he'd likely get in the rematch. But Wilder has already gone on record saying that he will fight Fury next no matter what money is offered or split. So Hearn is wasting his time. Hearn also recently said he would offer Fury 60/40 split too if Fury wants it. That puts pressure on Wilder to offer Fury more than the 40% the WBC mandated.
You know full well that unifications are given precedence over any voluntary, rematch or otherwise. Wilder will do his usual and give this latest offer the silent treatment because, quite simply, he's a fraud and a bottle job. The excuses are all out and done with, Deonkey's on a quack fest, plain and simple.
So 60/40 split, the chance of making more money in one fight than in any previous. More money than the Fury rematch. More importantly an opportunity to capture ALL the belts!!! Sorry but on what grounds can the excuse be made to not fight Joshua next.
Only one team is making the effort from all the noises, wilder doesn’t wanna fight AJ and will fight Fury cause he’s getting 60/40. Mad how warren will accept 60/40 to wilder from his friends but not from Hearn, imagine being that bitter.
I think AJ should fight in the USA not because of Wilder but for his legacy ect,that said Fury showed why so many are scared to fight abroad cause one can fight the fight of ones life and still get stuffed.
I wouldn't even offer him 30% Olympic gold & world amateur championships silver vs Olympic bronze WBA, IBF, & WBO unified champ vs WBC champ And AJ fought way, way better opposition in the amateurs than Donkey did Cammarelle x 2 - Olympic gold, silver, and bronze medalist, a 2 x world amateur gold medalist + 2 x bronze, and a 3 x European solver medalist Magomedrasul Medzhidov - 3 x world amateur championships gold medalist, Olympic bronze, European gold medalist Erislandy Savon - world amateur gold and silver medalist, Olympic bronze Ivan Dychko - world amateur silver medalist x 2 + 1 x bronze, 2 x Olympic bronze Zhang Zhilei - Olympic silver medalist, world amateur bronze x 2 Mihai Nistor Erik Pfeifer - 2 x world amateur bronze Sergey Kuzmin - European gold and silver medalist AJ went 7-2 against them albeit a few of those wins very controversial In the amateurs the only guys with a pulse Donkey fought are Clemente Russo - Olympic silver x 2, World amateur gold x 2 Rakhim Chakhiev - Olympic gold, World amateur silver Osmay Acosta - Olympic bronze, World amateur silver Evgengy Romanov Isiah Thomas Krzysztof Zimnoch Donkey went 2-4 against them AJ has had 22 fights and fought Wlad Povetkin Parker Whyte Takam Breazeale Martin Donkey has had 41 fights and fought 3 opponents with a pulse A 50% Fury who was robbed blind Ortiz Fat penguin Stiverne AJ and Donkey share some common opponents Donkey beat Mohamed Arjaoui on countback + 10 -10 AJ beat Arjaoui 16-7 AJ stopped Jason Gavern in 3 in just his 11th fight, Donkey stopped him in 4 in his 31st fight AJ destroyed Eric Molina in 3 in his 17th fight with contemptuous ease, Molina hurt Donkey and gave him a tough fight, lasting into the 9th against a 33-0 Donkey lol The 41 year old way past it Wlad albeit still very formidable who fought AJ would've knocked Donkey out just like he did in sparring Wlad didn't even floor AJ in sparring Cash cow AJ probably earns more per fight than peasant Donkey had earned in his entire career prior to facing Fury who Donkey needed to piggyback off the charisma and fame off to drag him out of obscurity, and if not in 1 definitely 2 AJ sells out 90,000 seater stadiums, how many fights would it take Donkey to sell that many tickets? lol Not counting the robbery win over Fury, Donkey sold a combined 54,000 tickets for his last 4 fights (I rounded that up to 54,000 out of sympathy) I don't know how many he sold (or rather Fury sold) for his last one but I've heard 17,000 banded about, albeit some of them were comp, so let's just go with that figure for now That makes it 71,000 for 5 fights AJ sold over 323,000 for his last 4 fights AJ is one of the 2 biggest draws in all of boxing
Wilder getting 60/40 against AJ at this point earns him a minimum of $10m more than the Fury rematch. With the so called 50/50 two way rematch clause there is no excuse at all. He either wants it or doesn’t but in all honesty my opinion is haymin is trying to keep US PPV alive and using Wilders lack of IQ and trust as a tool in his own private battle.
I don’t know it’s hard to believe anything Eddie says. He’s like that ex girlfriend who texts you when she knows your asleep so she can say she reached out and you never answered lol
With the IBF they are but not the WBC. And even the IBF have their limitations with that rule, as Warrington is now finding out. The 'fraud' aspect used to be something I levied at Wilder but Ortiz is a very legit win, so that nonsense can be dropped.
Luis Ortiz is flat out passed his best and overrated. According to Deonkey fans, the greatest heavyweight to never hold a world title. Fury was a cherry pick that anywhere else would have gone wrong. And yes, unifications tend to take precedence over voluntaries regardless of governing bodies as they usual make a crap ton of money off the back of them. Unfortunately, the WBC (Wilder Bodyguard Concil) don't want to run the risk of their guy losing the belt
