    Yeah it's hilarious to how Wilder's team has gone from "we want the fight now and Joshua/Hearn are delaying it" to now "lets marinate this for a bit longer."

    Another attempt for wilder to get 50/50? That's a weak excuse. No matter what wilder is or trying to do? A fighter ain't signing a contract if he doesn't know what his opponents is getting. <<<If you know your boxing? You know it doesn't work that way and that's a fact truth.

    If you going to believe every word from hearns who said wilder vs fury ppv buys was a disappointment while he said parker vs whyte ppv buys was way better? Then I don't know what to tell you especially when hearns fail to mention whyte vs parker was 19.95 while wilder vs fury was 70 bucks to order smh.

    Finkle has no power to say showtime and dazn can work it out. I said showtime ppl said that. And has Joshua ever fought on a real ppv that isn't 19.99 to order?

    What’s that sort of speculation got to do with anyone. Wilder is a successful multimillionaire athlete and you are deriding him for being a “slave”... What’s your net worth?

    Wilder fans never fail to amaze. I mean, how some can’t at least raise a suspicious eyebrow when their fighter, who historically earns between 1 and 2 million, turns down a 100 million deal, is beyond me. I mean, by next summer the contract would be over, and Wilder’s 100 million richer. That’s got to be at least 2 times his entire career earnings, surely.

    Anyhow, back to initial question, I get the impression from Showtime that while they control Wilder, if the fight were to happen that they would only do it there, with them in control.

    Agreed it's a weak excuse from Wilder to duck the fight but he keeps trying to make it lol.

    But I do agree that Wilder should of known what Joshua was being paid, but even if they had told him it's irrelevant as Finkel has made it clear that he wants to marinate this fight and wants it on Showtime. So you can keep focusing on the matter of Joshua's pay but it doesn't change the fact Finkel's position is that he doesn't want it on exclusively on DAZN and he doesn't want it any time soon.

    I think everybody involved in both camps are going for the record of the most tedious, drawn out, tiresome negotiations in boxing history, they have a few more years to go before they get close to Khan V's Brook or Mayweather Vs Pacquiao as a benchmark, but they will keep it going, they have plenty more squabbling, posturing and nonsense to spout .

    It's gone beyond boring into a whole new level of tedium. Now Fury has shown he's back at a decent level and made Wilder look so bang average it's not even the best fight in the division any more. Joshua v Fury is a much better clash of styles and a bigger test of AJ's true status. I half hope they sack this one off now, leave Wilder to his cherry orchard and get Fury signed up instead.

    I have to agree, I'd much rather see Joshua/Fury as it's clear they are the 2 best in the division. I actually think Fury has a good chance of beating Joshua.

    I hope they just forget Wilder for the moment and really try and secure the Fury fight some how. But I doubt that will happen, Joshua really wants all the belts.

    Its DAZN, they are offering Wilder a contract to fight on their network against Breazeale and Joshua. This isnt a negotiation with Joshua and Hearn, DAZN will be dealing with Joshua and Hearn. Its $100 million for 3 fights and we know who the fighters are. It gives Wilder the 3 fights he claimed he wanted next its offering more money than Matchroom did and includes the demand of a 2 way rematch clause.

    They dont need to know what Joshua is getting from DAZN. Especially if it isnt about the money. Its just more excuses, ive heard about 10 or 12 of them now, its not yet reached the numbers of excuses for why Wilder didnt beat Fury.

    Well I had over 1200 Bitcoins at one moment in time in 2017.

    I also trade the stock market so I know when to enter and exit a market.

    I'll leave it there.

    What exactly will it take to get Wilder in the ring with AJ?

    A stipulation that no white slavemasters make a cent from his hard work.

    *sigh* the answer is simple. It will take AJ agreeing to the fight and signing the contract. It’s not really anymore complicated than that

    Wilder better get rid of Jay Deas and Shelly Finkle from his team first then.
