Like for real stop the B.S! AJ vs Wilder its the biggest fight at HW! Its a fight that can be sell really well! USA undefeated KO artist Vs UK undefeated KO artist! What othe options? Parker ? Old Pedvekin? Hahahha pulev? Hahhaha Get serious!
1. Fury 2. Wilder or Parker (neither is bigger than the other) 3. Haye if he wins (unfortunately) 4. Any other top ten HW
Its guna be far from Joshuas biggest payday if Wilder wants to add 10% to the revenue and value of the fight but take 50% out of it. Us fans might not be concerned about the money side of things but we dont get given the contracts to sign do we.
I don't want to be concerned with the money either, but unrealistic demands like 50-50 from wilder mean the fight will never happen. You cant say you don't care about the money side of it when your fighter is vastly pricing himself out of the fight
Kind of true. But there are other draws he could face, like Povetkin and Haye if Haye beats Bellew. But he ducked Povetkin when they offered him $10 mill and got out of his mandatory with Povetkin as soon as the opportunity presented itself and has showed no interest in Haye after he was spanked by him in sparring. Fact is neither side looks like they are serious about making the fight right now. Hearn doesn't want it til next year and the 50/50 stance by Wilder is just him saying he doesn't want it either right now. On the surface both are saying they want the fight but reading between the lines Wilder won't be next.
Povetkin's promoter will pay a pretty penny for the Wilder fight. But Wilder has to weigh up the purse vs the laundry bill for all his stained underwear should he take the Sasha fight. Decisions, decisions.
Fury is Joshuas biggest fight by a mile even with Fury being out for over 2 years, shows how bad and unmarketable Wilder has been TBH.

Nice statement by the WBC. If only they had the pull that they once had, to make fights happen.We might actually see GGG/Canelo 2.
Fury and Haye would probably be bigger tbh. Wilder is still a big fight though and getting bigger by the day.
