    That's what negotiations are for.

    No you don't. You'll be satisfied with the stiff PED lowball offers that will kill any potential fight where Joshua is in danger of losing. I do have to give it to Hearn and Joshua. They are the U.K. Kings of comedy. Unfortunately I have to read posts from guys like you on what fighters deserve. Very unfortunate.

    Obviously... And Hearn is out to get Joshua what he deserves for what he brings to the table.

    As fans we all want Joshua, Wilder & Parker to unify. We want Fury back fit and the division to be competitive.

    The blame doesn't lie with anyone yet... Wilder wants 50/50 (which is laughable) and if he wasn't to budge from that in negotiations then he'd be to blame for the fight not happening.

    No point arguing with these people. They are more bothered abot splits and A side, B side **** than they are seeing the fight get made. Promoters have these guys doing their dirty work for them.

    Joshua isn't close to being like Mayweather. Mayweather was the complete Kingpin of boxing for several years and had a massive $200 million contract that he called the shots on. Joshua while very popular in the U.K. doesn't make the decisions, since Hearn is the one with the very lucrative agreement with Sky Sports.
    It's only a matter of time before Joshua will need solid opponents like Wilder or Parker to keep selling the way he does.

    Joshua is also much more beatable than Floyd was. Joshua is still very green and flawed and could easily lose to at least 4-5 people in the division. When Mayweather was active nobody could beat him and he knew it. Wilder and Parker have a ton of leverage and could easily wait Joshua out until they get what they want. Mayweather on the other hand had no qualms about dropping titles to fight exactly who he wanted.

    Every fight is a risk clown. Only an armchair would ask this stupid question.

    Not really. Joshua doesn't really need them as he already earns big money, has 2 belts and is considered #1 in the division. Wilder and Parker are just as likely to lose in the meantime as Joshua so can't necessarily out wait him.

    LOL you're a joke. Deontay "Cherry Pick" Wilder doesn't know the meaning of risk.

    LOL that in itself is a joke. A 50/50 fight in US with Deontay is worth a couple of million at best. Why would Joshua give in to those pathetic demands. Casual.

    I wouldn't expect a reasonable reply from Blizzy lol. He'll probably say something like he doesn't care about the finances, just make the damn fight, which is a cop out.

    You're right. I don't care about the finances. That's what managers and promoters are there for. They negotiate. You two don't negotiate and neither of you don't have **** to do with making this fight.

    I think a 100-0 split in wilders and the fight in Tuscaloosa is fair.
    Joshua gets a motel for the night but he has to pay his own way there

    If asked numerous 'Joshua ducking' posters who go on about Joshua not willing to pay wilder his fair share bit they all go quiet and say they don't care about the split when asked whats a fair share
