Hearn never negotiated in good faith so for wasting everybody's time instead of being honest he's going to have to pay the man. But they never truly wanted the fight, and don't give a flying **** about actually being undisputed. It's been time to move on and just forget this fight. It's Bowe/Lewis part 2, or at best Holyfield/Tyson when one or both are past their prime. There's no amount of training and experience AJ can do to keep from being knocked out by Wilder anyways, now or later it'll be AJ's cashout fight, if we're lucky but something tells me no.
Less than 12 months ago we witnessed a fight which generated close to record amounts for a single fight. You need to look at why the US, and specifically Wilder, has no crossover star. Your fighters don't travel, and are willing to go 39-0 before fighting a top 10 opponent..... Guys like GGG and Loma are becoming more popular in America, than American's, because they're not protected and willing to fight live opposition.
You are absolutelt correct smiffyinoz, anyone with an ounce of impartiality knows Wilder doesn`t want this fight. All he does is talk. It`s Lewis v Bowe all over again.
Nor did I till I heard it on Precise Puncher,seems so obvious to us that one would look to use the glove but so many either slap or even the wrist part,make of it what you will but Lacing does sound right and of course it is illegal. Course I’ll get called a hater but it was so evident that first Ward v Kovalev fight,who came to Box and hurt his opponent and after two rounds Ward just went in full wrestle mania mode lol,yes I get it that it’s a top way of dealing with a stronger opponent but it’s hard to watch and of course with a normal Ref it just wouldn’t work.
He should get 50/50. It's not about how much he's made in previous fights they're going into a fight were they're both world champions and both have a 50/50 chance of winning. Wilder's the harder puncher but AJ makes up for that in his superior technical ability. There's plenty of money to be made in the fight and both fighters will demand a rematch clause, if AJ really believes he will win then let Wilder have 50/50 as they're going into the match as equals. In the rematch the winner would obviously get a bigger purse in the rematch. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for Wilder to make this kind of money, AJ has probably made more money in the Ruiz fight than Wilder did in the Fury fight. Wilder just wants his fair share, why should he take less than 50/50 when him and AJ are both World Champions.
