    No fight has been made, calm your tits.

    AJ vs PArker for unification is first, Wilder can wait and cry all he wants.

    We all want the AJ Wilder fight, but fact is Wilder is being ridiculous in his demands. Wake up.

    His purse for the Ortiz fight was $2.1m. So what do you reckon?

    Demands?

    Yes 50/50 is unreasonable but facts remain Hearn doesn't seem keen on the fight and negotiations and dialogue hasn't been forthcoming from Hearn/"Anthony Joshua" either.

    Forget Miller and Hearns obsession with a AJ/Whyte .

    After Parker, albeit AJ wins get total unification.

    See now you're misrepresenting what he said.

    He said "Great top 10 opponents", not "Great opponents".

    Factually he is correct.

    Whyte is the only man named in the top 10 of all the major organisations. Brezeale is current ranked number 2 by the WBC. Martin was a champion and therefore ranked even higher than the top 10 contenders.

    As for Takam he wasn't given 2 weeks notice, that was Joshua. He was enforced as a mandatory, and was ranked top 10 at the time of the fight.


    Over 25% of Joshua's fights have been against top 10 opponents. Not many boxers can say the same.

    Utter nonsense.

    Hearn has been trying his best to arrange a fight with Wilder, but he's constantly been battling with 3 different 'managers' of Wilder.

    One even refuses to converse with Hearn, so it's Wilder's team which is preventing this fight from happening.

    Eddie doesn't want the fight/isn't doing anything to make it happen?

    Wilder's team is a complete mess and is completely ruining the chance of this fight happening.

    10 to 12 million should be more than fair.

    aj saying it like it is ........... wilder is like michael spinks asking tyson for a 50/50 split although spinks never asked for a 50/50 split cause he knew the draw was tyson...so he took 13.5 million and tyson took 24 million ....

    You can't compare the situations. Spinks had two shot knees, was well past his prime, and inactive. Spinks was desperate for a quick cash out against Tyson, since he knew with his knees he wouldn't be able compete in boxing anymore. An injury free and active Michael Spinks would not have been run over by Tyson so easily.

    Wilder isn't a shot fighter like Spinks was in 1988 and isn't desperate. Wilder knows the he is the only worthwhile opponent to introduce Joshua to an American audience. That alone is easily worth 50/50.

    On the other hand If Wilder has to travel the U.K. He's still going to demand 50/50, since he would be the only champion other than Joshua and Hearn want Joshua to be undisputed.

    Wilder would either have to be desperate or a fool like Parker's team was to settle for less than 50/50.

    I can’t believe you guys go back and forth about their negotiations like you have any clue how it will shake out.

    So silly.

    Wilder fans are truly insane.
    Parker is a fool for pocketing 10$ mil and unifying 3 belts?

    Yes but that still doesn't make them "great".

    Vaughan Bean was the IBF number 1, did that automatically make him a "great top 10 opponent"?.....I think not.

    If Wlad had fought them they'd of been classed as bums, but AJ fights them and they are "great top 10 opponents".

    Breazeale is solid, as is Takam but the rest are not.

    Who was it who didn't return Shelly Finkels call?

    Oh yeah Edward Hearn.
