    "Wilder has to be realistic and stop living the fantasy," Joshua told BBC Sport.

    "If he was serious about the fight, we'd do serious negotiation. If not, stop hooting and hollering because we'll just freeze him out."


    'We're in a position where I've still got great top-10 challengers I can compete with. He's in a position where the broadcasters ain't interested in (him fighting) Joe Bloggs anymore.

    'I know where I am going with my career. If he wants to be a part of this and jump on the train and come to the UK, he has to be realistic and stop living the fantasy. That is all we are saying, be realistic in negotiations.

    'What we've got to offer is going to be 10 times more in terms of financials - because that's what it comes down to - than he's looking at in America.


    'If he offered me 10 times more money to fight than what I am looking at in the UK, I would go there to fight him. But he is coming here. We are doing the offering, he hasn't offered us. Take it or leave it.'

    Well said by Joshua. Anthony is holding Aces, Wilder is holding a pair of 5's

    Expect nothing to change, with Wilder demanding a 50/50 split and it being in the US

    To be fair to Wilder his fight with Ortiz was one of Showtime's biggest fight nights in a long time, and he's publicly said he'll take a 40% split. Can't blame Joshua for saying all of this though, Wilder has done a helluva lot of posturing in the past and I wouldn't be surprised if he's still demanding 50/50 behind close doors.

    Wilder to offer AJ 2 bottles of finest Alabama moonshine and a PPV on Bounce TV to make a 3 figure payday.
    Take it or leave it!

    AJ dropping the truth bombs.

    10 x more than usual is a great deal for Wilder and he has no valid reason to decline.

    Back in your box bomber!

    AJ spelling out the brutal truth. This is not a negotiation of equals.

    AJ holds all the cards. He's a bigger draw, has more belts, a better résumé And most importantly, multiple options to earn big money in big fights.

    Wilder has one belt, struggles to attract decent opponents, who would all rather get a shot at AJ. He has one option to earn big, a fight with AJ.

    He can keep punching piñatas, making accusations about PED use, ducking etc and his core fanbase will lap it up, but that won't change reality. The truth is that he either accepts what AJ is willing to give him or he stays on the outside looking in, getting older, risking either losing relevance by fighting more cans ir losing the belt that is the only asset he had.

    Pathetic. We’ll freeze you out...

    Joshua is terrified of Wilder.

    The fight is a BIG risk for Joshua and he could easily get knocked out; Wilder has that equaliser and then some.

    However, what Joshua is saying is correct; Matchroom are offering the venue, big PPV numbers, an excellent platform and 10x more money than what Wilder is currently making.

    Wilder on the other hand is offering NOTHING, no venue, no guaranteed numbers, no platform. It is just bravado and talk from him.

    This is also a fantastic opportunity for Wilder to come into someone else's back yard and take his prize. He can also organise a rematch with better financials (reverse the deal) should he win the first fight. He can also sign a 2-3 fight deal with Matchroom who can co-promote with Showtime and Sky Sports and build even bigger fights.

    Aside from ONE belt, can anyone tell me what Wilder has to offer?

    BTW: Parker's team came to reality quickly when they realised they held ZERO leverege either.

    Pathetic is prancing around a hallway in Alabama punching a piñata whilst your idiot followers applaud.

    AJ is actually being magnanimous. Every time Wilder accused me of taking PEDs I'd add another six months to the time when I'd allow him to beg me for a fight. Every piñata video would be 12 months.
