If Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder fought who would be the A-side fighter ?

From what I heard Wilder got offered $100m for 3 fights. The two AJ fights being $40m each. Sounds a lot like 40% to me.

On top of that he doesn’t need to worry about PPV sales, was offered double what he got for Fury to fight Breazeale as a sweetener and no tie in after the 3 fights.

Wilders team are merely holding out for PBCs own business interest. They needed a star name for Fox PPV and Wilder losing would have been catastrophic. They didn’t think that if he won he would have been a megastar.

most PBC matchmaking is low risk and promise to make people PPV stars when in reality only one Spence is on the cusp of it.

 

Joshua, of course. He'd shatter Wilder's fragile mandible, too.

 

Wilder is only good enough to fight on AJ's undercards.

 

Tyson Fury brutally honest on Wilders power

says Wilder doesnt hit as hard as you think he iant this KO king everyone thinks he is.. he just fought bums and arreolla took all wilders power

Take a lap kid

 

I don’t think this fight will be made as a unifying fight, as I see Fury winning his rematch with Wilder


But after that loss to Fury, AJs team may fight the newly dethroned Wilder sooner than he would if Wilder were still the titleholder, and both teams would be at a standoff, each demanding top dollar

A freshly defeated Wilder and his team will probably accept a reasonable deal for a comeback fight

 

Well only one has ONE belt

 

Look alt. You guys were so pissed at Floyd for always mentioning himself as the A side. I'll say it once, and I'll say it again. Boxing fans don't care about that kinda ****. That kinda **** prevents fights.

 

I know this is simple: but the winner of Wilder/Fury may as well be 50/50 with Joshua.

It's a win/win situation. A unification fight right now could be hyped into something that will draw in general sports fans and mainstream media coverage.

Unlike, a year ago, all 3 fighters (and their backers) now have experiences of being beaten or coming very close to it. They also know that the upcoming field of challengers is stronger than in the recent past.

 

WBC is the most prestigious belt.

WBO = TRASH
IBF = TRASH
WBA = TRASH

 

A side B side is just a term invented by some clown who has done more to hurt the sport than he ever did to help it.

 

I really get annoyed by this topic in general .

I would definitely give AJ the A side if the fight was held in UK.

Outside the UK Wilder is the recognized People's Champion.

The truth is this fight should be as close to 50/50 as possible. Anything up to a 60/40 split in either direction would be fair

Both men are respected champions who would be putting their belts on the line

 

AJ is the A side because he is the money man economic powerhouse who earns an absolute fortune everytime he fights. He has just earned over £52 Million for the rematch against Ruiz and at least $100 Million for both fights in 2019 against Ruiz. Meanwhile Deontay Wilder struggles to draw flies and his pay per view figures against Ortiz less than 40,000 PPV buys.

 

In other news Real Madrid just turned down the offer to play against Barcelona because there’s no money in that, they are the A side, Barca doesn’t even draw that many views so better to hold out until it makes sense business-wise.



yes, I know, I know, but this is the same level of idiocy. Best are meant to fight the best no ifs and buts, the fact that they don’t and people actually defend that on financial basis is sickening.
