Since recent heavyweight championship title fights have given us lackluster results, The promoter needs to give both Wilder and Joshua added motivation to make it a great, entertaining fight.

I say $100,000 grand extra to either fighter scoring a 1st round KO.

$75,000 for a KO before the 5th round.

$50,000 for a KO before the 10th round.

$25,000 for a KO before the closing bell.

$20,000 added in for any knockdowns or standing eight count against his opponent.

What do you guys think?

You'd have to add another zero or two to make the fighters actually G.A.S.

Heavyweight boxing NEEDS that again! And if Joshua or Wilder cannot deliver that to us, especially now when they have to face better opponents as champs, then we'll just have to wait for Daniel Dubois to give us that excitement!

composure. to me wilder is just crazy open
too often too long.

wilder's weakness is balance, AJ's is stamina.
mentally i think wilder made a boost by finding
out that in addition to a right hand he has a chin.

right now it is the fight in a boxing.

Yes, you are probably right. I haven't seen any figures on how much these two are making in their recent fights. So, add a zero to each of those numbers then.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd love to see these guys actually go to-to-toe, instead of feel each other out for 1 to 5 rounds, before they finally commit to anything serious. I'm tired of these guys getting in the ring, being paid gobs of cash, and go thru the motions like it's just another sparring session. In those type of championship fights, it's the fans who lose out.

I did as you asked. Those weren't bomb like exchanges. I'm speaking about things like the end of the Ortiz fight. The counter right that began the end of the fight was thrown while being hit with a hard shot from Ortiz. In other times of that fight, there were great exchanges that neither Klitchko nor Joshua have showed me. Maybe I could've said it better.

You're wrong... Joshua fired back after taking hard shots... Wilder didn't fire back when he was seriously hurt... He was watching for the next punch... If you don't do that you'll soon be out colder than 7 barrels of penguin shitt.

Whoa slow down tiger! Taking hard shots and being seriously hurt are two different empires. Joshua didn't fire back when he was hurt by Wlad...he went down. Wilder took way more shots from Ortiz and never went down. So if that's wrong, I'm a card carrying member. Please don't respond that Ortiz is a fat on high-blood pressure meds over the hill 90 y/o. It's just not true. Wlad was 41 and washed up. Ortiz is STILL in the field of view at no. 3 or 4 in the world. "You're wrong" seriously?

Yeah... seriously wrong... Wladimir was NOT washed up and fought the best fight of his life. He turned the clock back. And YES, Ortiz is starting to have a lot of middle age problems like high blood pressure and Klitschko ISN'T having them... Ortiz looked fat as Hell and Klitschko looked slender and fit... Wilder did NOT take way more shots from Ortiz... And Joshua was throwing when Wladimir was throwing... Your statement that "AJ just covers up and doesn't fire" is just wrong as Hell.
