Missed out on a massive opportunity to make tremendous money and exposure. Wilder is not going to make that 120 million, and especially within the range of 3 fights. By the way, Hayman had to order a promotional service to hand out tickets and black out entire sections for television. His viewership is actually down from the 1st Stiverne fight also. Not to sound too negative as I wish that he sold millions of PPV for the sport of boxing.
As I said earlier... Let’s do a quick breakdown of this nonsense. “He wasn’t a true champion. His whole career was consisted of lies, contradictions and gifts.” Listen, we’re talking about an Anthony Joshua who has been in very tough in comparison to Wilder at the same stage of their careers/fights. For example: In 23 fights Joshua has faced Andy Ruiz, Alexander Povetkin, Joseph Parker, Carlos Takam, Wladimar Klitschko, Dominic Breazeale, Charles Martin, Dillian Whyte, and Kevin Johnson. In Wilder's first 23 fights he fought Harold Sconiers, Justin Nichols, Marlon Hayes, as well as Damon Reed, both cruiserweights with his standout opponent being journeyman Owen Beck. When Joshua had bad day at the office it was against Klitschko, Parker, Ruiz, Whyte, etc. When Wilder had a bad day at the office, it was against Sconiers (who he almost lost to), Molina, Nichols, etc. How many losses would he have on his record if he fought this resume during his first 23 fights? Then answer if he fought these fighters sprinkled in with the cruiser weights and Harold Sconiers, how many losses would he have?
They aren’t the same people, their roads are different, so what? You act like this is some brilliant point but it’s irrelevant. They are here now, regardless where they were at year “x” or fight “x”, who cares they are all here now. I’ll take Wilder to spark Ruiz in under 10 rounds if they fight tomorrow, next month, next year, Ruiz isn’t beating the life out of Wilder. Wilder may lose, he may lose to Ortiz, he might...but not like that.
I act like what? If I thought it was a brilliant point I would've said that. I'm quoting Wilder, who thought it was a brilliant point that he was making and in actuality it was incredibly stupid and irrational. Much like so many of his fans. Just more stupid. Possibly.
It’s so silly...you spend years spouting on about the guy, arrogantly boasting about how he has all the money, all the power, make up idiotic nicknames and insult Wilder. Go on and on about AJ being such a great boxer...blah blah blah. He gets his ass beat now all the sudden we demand humility and decorum...GTFOH. Sorry bro no tears from me. I like AJ as a dude and a fighter, but all these fans...specifically on this forum brought all this on themselves.
The point being that Wilder is making ridiculous comments about Joshua being a fraud when he would have several losses on his record if he fought Joshua's comp, already ducked Klitschko, was exposed by Hauser by trying to buy out Povetkin instead of facing him, got a gift vs Fury. Literally everything that he accused Joshua of. THAT was the entire point of the thread.
Who me? I'm not even an AJ fan really. I'm talking about the stupid things that Wilder has said, all the while blatantly avoiding or postponing the Joshua fight.
Based on what, who are these “several loses”? You’ve made up hypothetical outcomes and then formulated real life feelings about them. That’s weird man...
Yeah, he's gonna make it and he won't be dictated to take orders from any body when he does it. If he had of took that money from Dazn he would have been locked into a slave contract with people dictating who he fights, The man don't play that and I applaud him for it. All money ain't good money. Especially if you have to sell your soul for it. One thing for sure, if DAZN offered him 120 mil, you gotta know they will make more than double that. Wilder's only downside is promotion. That's a problem that will be rectified by his next fight and he will take off like a rocket. He brings excitement and drama to the heavyweight division. Just like he proved Hearn and Joshua wrong, he will also prove the other naysayers wrong.
