AJ refuses to fight outside UK---turns down $50 million guarantee with no cap !

[MrGuy]

“Nobody wants to see” people making bûllshît claims that aren’t true.

I enjoy seeing Wilder fight and there will be bouts that I’d like to see Fury emerge victorious from.

Most dont care do see him. This is factual. A BS claim would be saying Fury can actually fight.

WTF are you talking about? Can you not read? FGS! Stop acting like a twát!

In response to not being true.

Nobody wants to see Wilder fight, or at least not up untill now. Somehow everybody wants to see Fury fight. Really, the only thing AJ is after is that word called undisputed, which he will only become after he beats Tyson Fury if nobody else seems to become better before he achieved that. Wilder is just the last beltholder left because he ran away scared to sign a fair deal for the longest time of all of them and the WBC supported him doing it. Such sad ducking behaviour shouldn't be rewarded in my opinion. He still ducks everybody that doesn't offer him 12m+ or got like 1% chance of winning against him. In fact Arreola did win and send him to hospital, but appearantly they made a deal and Arreola was quitting and giving up the fight during the break while relaxing on his seat. Have you ever seen a heavyweight world titlefight where the winner just gave up the fight while winning while his opponent was injured? Well I can't remember I have.

Nobody wants do see Fury do anything but lose. Has dreadful. Arreola won? Joshua has fought better comp, just not much better.

Not much better? Just look at all the rankings of all AJ's opponents and even the ranks of the best opponents AJ his opponents ever fought.

This isn't an overly good heavyweight era. Ratings are easily inflated. So Wilder could ko Ortiz, but not those guys?

Good one!! We all know Miller is trying to get AJ irked enough to fight HIM, but good trash-talking nonetheless.

Jarrell Miller: Anthony Joshua is a sissy for turning down $50 million for Deontay Wilder fight

Any press release such as this is an attempt to slightly adjust the negotiation process from outside negotiations. Unfortunately for Wilder, he needs Joshua more than Joshua needs him. I don't think Joshua's ego is brittle enough to let talk like that interrupt his earning. There's no rush from his side, just enough talk to keep its profile up. I may well be wrong, but that's how I see it. No need to chase a payday that's sitting waiting until you're ready and happy to take it.

If AJ goes out and loses to Povetkin which is quite possible, he has just made worst business decision in boxing history.

He'll get 25$ m for fighting Pov

i really doubt aj loses to povetkin

i mean, if either aj or wilder loses next itll be a financial loss, even if we go by the 12.5 offer to wilder. wilder would actually be losing like 5-10 x what hes made in the past where as it would be like 2x for aj

btw funny marv talking about aj losing to povetkin, i just did a 'nosey pudendum' and looked up his posts from pov-wilder a few years ago when pov was better, and he thought it was comfortable for wilder and was pulling the race and al haymon card just because ppl were picking povetkin. appartently it was obvious to him that wilder would win, but now 2-3 years later somehow pov is this big threat to aj?

marv you strange man!

[jamamb]

btw, how is it that wilder backers can pull out this 50m, and yet hes been averaging like 1.4 for most his fights? this guy is an american hw champ with loads of kos, so why hasnt he been making more money when his side apparently can just whip out 50m? why is he making chump change compared to aj?

[marvelous marv]

I don't feel AJ will lose to Povetkin, it's a hypothetical what if scenario that can happen. The type of risk/reward gamble those pulling the strings need to seriously evaluate before proceeding foward.

Sure AJ could get 25 million for a fight in London. But he has been offered 50 million as a minimum with no cap. He could make upwards of say 75 million if the fight is very successful. A loss means the rematch is in Moscow for a fraction of that purse.

Do I think Wilder would beat Povetkin now or then, absolutely. Not because of any race card, he simply is the better fighter in my opinion.
