    similar how to Money Mayweather was the meal ticket for many welterweights and that's why everyone wanted to fight him. Not so much in thinking they could beat him but rather getting that fat paycheck that goes with it. Just ask Marcos Maidana.

    Same for heavyweights..
    You can see Parker & Wilder trying to squeeze as much as money out of Joshua like he's a bank machine. I think we're gonna see more Heavyweights want a piece of AJ cuz of the fat paydays that goes with it.


    Agree?

    Of course he is. Hence why Wilder and Parker are desperately trying to sell their belts to him.

    Joshua also has the footwork and lateral movement of an ATM.

    He is the one doing the actual negotiating... Not just crying on twitter. His job is to get Joshua the best deal (which he deserves as he is the one making the money).

    If Hearn really wanted to he could sign and seal the Wilder fight tomorrow. As you said , Wilder is ready to be cashed out..

    He could if he offered what Wilder wanted... Why would he do that? Joshua brings more belts, more fans and more money... Hearn's job is to get the best deal for Joshua and Matchroom....that's why it's called negotiating.

    People do seem to want to cash out against him. If it were really about proving they're the best and winning the belts, they would fight him for the same amount they usually fight for or a little more.

    His IBF belt fell out of a cereal box.

    But , you're right , he should negotiate with Wilder until they can reach a deal that works for both parties. If Joshua is all about obtaining belts and being the best in the division , he should be focusing solely on Wilder , then working his way down the pecking order.

    There are two belts. It's a smart move by Hearn to play Parker and Wilder off against each other. They can get the fight which makes Joshua the most money between the two, and in theory, he should make even more against the other if he wins.
