Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Wilder-Joshua Deal Will Be Tough To Make
World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman is not expecting the heavyweight unification between Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua to get done anytime soon. [Click Here To Read More]
Of course it will be , Wilder thinks he can dictate where the fight is going to be held and if not wants 40% which equals 20 Million or over .
Talk about the biggest decline in money in the sports history even at 12.5 from averaging 1.4 Million and added rematch worth possible 20 plus more ?
Guess Wilder isnt as confident as most thought, is fine making under 2 Million instead of over 30 with Joshua FIGHTS !
Now lets all embrace for the idiot brigade to show up and complain that they want the fight next while they ignore it wont be next if it took place in the U.S anyway according to Wilder !
Still can't see passed '$50 mill ' and I'll sign tomorrow from AJ. and then .....I want the fight in the UK. and business man Hearn wants to run it.
AJ. is the man with the most belts so I see why he thinks it should happen at home but they've both fooked up here and have been seen as two bluffers who were found out and are now really looking for a sharp exit.
Hearn is as transparent as glass and his silly old man should just go sleepy's and stick to snooker or darts .They are holding on the their main prize and taking away what we want.

I don’t know if it’s a deadlock or not but as already said, Joshua is in a position to dictate.
If he wants in the UK then Wilder is going to have to suck it up.
Joshua has other options for big money still , Povetkin, Whyte and Miller are all legitimate opponents. He won’t get the same money but probably only needs 2-3 fights to match it.
Wilder on the other hand, even with only the $12.5 million offer (which will clearly be much higher now) was already basically having over 2 years of alternative fights pay. In addition to that who is he going to fight to increase his credibility? Breazeale won’t add anything; only Pulev, Whyte or Parker really helps; and Pulev is only the edges for that. Furthermore Wilder is the older man so will benefit from taking fight sooner.
It all leads to me to say It is on Wilder to ensure it happens, he’s already getting a huge pay rise in % terms so anything he can negiotiate is just a bonus really.

Two points. One, watch the interview he said it, he was saying it tongue in cheek. Also clearly not expecting it to happen either though. But money isn’t the single factor and let’s be real here, Joshua is going to be less swayed by money for this fight given the % increase pay is far higher for wilder than Joshua
