****m Richardson says AJ will never fight Fury or Wilder

AJ has already made offers to fight Wilder in England for I think it was 20 million bucks to fight him in England. Wilder turned the offer down because he thought 20 million was not enough apparently. This is two boxers and their teams not agreeing on terms and not AJ refusing to fight Wilder. AJ will fight either of them but he is the A side and Wilder can take or leave his best offers. Now Wilder says he won't even talk about fighting AJ until after he rematches Fury. I think AJ would fight either Fury or Wilder if he likes the terms. He is never going to fight Wilder in America and he is never going to give Wilder a 50/50 split even in England. Why should he? He has most of the belts and makes big money fighting any top so he doesn't really need to fight Fury or Wilder on their terms.

Really, he was supposed to fight them with less than 20 fights? He has half as many fights as Wilder and he's earning way more than Wilder could ever dream of making.
Does he feel the same way about Tank fighting Loma? Or Berchelt?

I think Fury has thrown a complete spanner in the HW division at the highest level.
Interesting to hear Wilder say " Let them go and do there thing " in regards to Hearn and AJ.
Wilder seems to have some genuine spite and a real sense of reprisal with this realising he and Fury could freeze AJ out at the very earliest point late 2019 and beyond. The worm appears to have turned and the limelight and focus are somewhat of AJ. I think Wilder will want to play the long game, more so than Fury.
The old adage " What goes around, comes around " springs to mind.Last edited by TwiceonaSunday; 12-06-2018, 11:09 AM.

Well a famous Englishman by the name of Adam Smith once said:
"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest."
So while I do not know what flavor ice cream Hearn likes, or if Anthony Joshua likes puppy dogs and candy canes... we have a situation here where there is natural pressure on AJ to respond to developments. Richard's estimation aside, it doesn't matter, any more than Hearn's ability to sell out sections of an arena should matter.
What should matter is: as of today there are three guys who are at the top of the heap... And there is an invisible hand in the marketplace that has pushed them into each other and is demanding that they handle their business,. and this pressure should make it so we see the fights that matter in the division. If we do not its a crime, as much as it is a crime when judges are allowed to render decisions that are obvious for moneyed interests.
