:heh: youre keeping the same energy..ill give you that...enjoy away
We had the blood and guts war of Mikey and ERROL. Danny's war with that Mexican kid from Chicago. New athletic prospects like Kownacki and Ruiz making their way into the pound for pound top ten. The dramatic battle of Manny and Broner. Fury Wilder which was this generations Klitschko Lewis. I could go on and on

I hear you, but where was this speech almost 2 yrs ago when AJ was saying “maybe 2019, 2020”.. All I’m saying is AJ and Hearn had EVERY OPPORTUNITY to make this fight happen., But they wanted to play games to the point where it’s now personal with Wilder. I hope he will take these offers but at the same time, I get why he’s moving on and putting these clowns on ignore
The problem with that (other than it's being emotional instead of rational even if it's bad for the fans) is this plan will probably hurt them more than it will ever hurt Joshua.

Joshua is...

  • younger than Wilder so time works for him
  • less vulnerable against lower tier opponents (that's not a fact though so if you disagree fair enough)
  • already making constantly more money than Wilder
  • going to keep making more money due to DAZN throwing around lots of money to big fighters compared to Showtime or even FOX
  • holding 3 belts as opposed to Wilder's 1
  • trying to make this fight happen for a few months now at least it seems like, the narrative shifted, AJ isn't the bad guy anymore who avoids the fight, more and more fans questioning Wilder's willingness to fight him. Of course there is and there always will be hardcore Wilder fans who will exclusively blame AJ/Hearn but the general narrative is shifting and not in Wilder's favor.
So it's hard for me to see how this will work out well for Wilder in long term. His team will be happy I guess cause they get to milk him in in-house fights, keeping him on Showtime or FOX and I guess that's the point of this whole mess now, they are telling Wilder not to accept this and that, to demand 50% and etc... they know exactly this means the fight won't happen anytime soon but with the knowledge that DAZN would almost surely offer for the fight more and they would have to let Wilder there to fight AJ maybe they don't even want it anymore.

You trolling right?
He offered Fury a 50/50 split again for the rematch. Top Rank wanted him to sign with ESPN and still take a fight in between.
Whyte could face Ortiz (ranked top 3) to be the mandatory, the WBC already called for it before he decided to fight whoever he is facing next (ranked #10 and was losing to Jennings before he stopped him. Fury, Whyte, or Ortiz will have to face each other to get in the mandatory position. How did he duck AJ when he was ready to take a $15 million flat fee the first time.

Boxing fans had so many complaints about DAZN during Canelo Alvarez-Daniel Jacobs fight



Dazn's whole presentation last night was horrendous. From the sound quality to the announcing. I knew I wasn't trippin with the sound. It's like you couldn't hear shyt in the ring. Then they fukked up Danny's entrance. The bias commentating. And all the people who got left with no stream :mjlol:.......they ain't taking over shyt with this nonsense. The whole thing felt like some boxing after dark shyt. It just rubbed too many people the wrong way.

They need to use some of their money to improve their broadcast. Out with Brian Kenny and Leonard, maybe Mora too, a new technical team... Mannix should stay though he’s not bad.

They kind of hate Wilder anyway...who he is, the Fury fight being a draw, him still being undefeated..poll results are to be expected.
A year from now Joshua was blasted now it’s rather Wilder. I understand it though cause Wilder turned down a 40 + 40 m offer which is crazy. If he didn’t accept that it’s fair to assume they could offer him anything he wouldn’t have accepted it and he just doesn’t want it.

I know, I know... but earlier he got mad at Hearn and AJ but even if that’s the reason, still... what happened to the “ One face, one name...” shyt all that sudden? Not important anymore? Is it more important to try to annoy Hearn and Joshua (and fans)?
