AJ -V- Parker...

Yeah that's how I see it. From Hearns point of view while ever he can keep making mega bucks he has no need to risk a fight with Wilder.

 

Wilder is the coward who looks like he doesn't want the fight, by pulling out of coming over to watch last night. For years British boxing fans had to spend a lot of money to watch guys like Ricky Hatton fight in soul-less Vegas venues. We now have the top dog who by the time he's retired could be the greatest heavyweight boxer ever. It's up to those that want to step up, to come over here. He still lives in a Watford council flat with his mum, so I don't think he's motivated by money. He seems more interested in as many people being given the chance to see him live. For an Englishman to sell out the Welsh national stadium twice in a row with support is mental.

 

It’s not mental at all, English/British sports fans are the best in the world, that’s Why the NFL are putting games on in London more and more, If AJ was to fight Wilder in Texas 30’000 (if not more) would go over, just like if England got to a World Cup final in any part of the world the stadium would be 90% English fans. We’re the best in the world when it comes to supporting sport, Just look at the Olympic Games in 2012 every event ”sold out” and some could have been sold 10 times over, other countries have to give tickets away. And in the grand scheme of things we’re a tiny island.

 

Yet you want Joshua to lose ?
Now that is the typical UK sports fan in a nutshell !

 

I’m aloud to support who I want pal, John Part is one of the nicest most genuine people I’ve ever met, and I’d always pick him over any other Darts players, but I’m not gutted if he gets beat, because it’s the sport I support more then anything not individuals because of where they come from.

 

And then again it’s he old adage, you pay your money you make your choice, I paid £20 to watch that fight last night, so in my opinion I can support who ever I choose, I’m a boxing fan, in the same way as I’ve become a Barnsley Supporter, but not a football fan, I hate football and what it’s become, but I still love Barnsley FC and what it is to be a supporter of Barnsley FC. And I still enjoy betting on the outcome of football matches, but the game itself stinks worse than a pile of dog ***** in the summer to me.

 

What’s the point coming over when Hearn’s made it clear they don’t want the fight next?

He’s obviously motivated by money, every interview he’s getting his sponsored towels, drinks bottles in on the camera before he even starts speaking. He lives up in Sheffield for about 8 months of the year.

Ye that’s the point, he does sell out stadiums over here & his team said they’d be back in touch with Wilder making him an offer better than the American one & they never have. Wilder’s fought over here he’s no issue with it.

And Ricky Hatton fights in Vegas were never soulless. The only soulless ones tend to be with slick black American fighters like Mayweather. Any big fight involving a Mexican, Puerto Rican, someone from over here with a decent following etc gets great atmospheres in Vegas.

 

I don’t really get why we all have to support a fighter just because he’s from over here.

Joshua’s a former drug dealer who in the last few months was caught out making racist comments & praising Robert Mugabe. Got gifted a gold medal in the Olympics after clearly losing his quarter final fight. Constantly talks about staying humble whilst bragging about his cars & flashing his designer gear.

Give me a Joseph Parker every day of the week over Joshua. A genuine bloke not a media trained puppet who’s come from the bottom representing two countries brilliantly with no big contracts funding him, took himself over to the States to train & built his way up from nothing & shown balls to take his last 2 fights abroad against much bigger opponents to try & get all the belts. He could’ve milked that belt for years in New Zealand against **** opponents whilst everyone chased the Joshua & Wilder pay days but he didn’t.

 

Wilder was all set to come over until Hearn and Joshua said he couldn't get in the ring afterwards so he said he wouldn't bother coming. Make no mistake Wilder wants the fight he has no one else to fight really. The difference is Hearn can sell out stadiums and sell box office for Joshua to fight anyone. So he doesn't need the fight. Look at it from Hearn poin't of view, Joshua could lose to Wilder so why risk it, they are making money without him.

 

Of course you can and so you should. If the Wilder fight happens then I'm team Wilder for that one. I think he is just so entertaining, great on the Mic and in the ring. Not the most gifted of boxers but he goes for it and that's great to watch.

 

Aye. Class act all the way that Wilder (!)

Who thinks Wilder’s a class act?

 

Never said he was class just that I find him entertaining. AJ is former drug dealer, most boxers aren't "classy" people

 

He's not great to watch. He's a great finisher, but he's not great to watch at all. He tends to not work for the early rounds waiting for an opening and then explode. He'd not got much in the way of boxing fundamentals, but he's a great athlete and puncher.

 

Yeah I know what you mean, but you don't want to take your eyes off him as he can explode at any moment. I guess I lean towards Wilder as the whole AJ hype train gets to me a little.

 

Mate , I have no problem with how loud you support someone, but I think the word you were trying to use was allowed ! Oh I am pretty sure we are not pals.
Your argument that I replied to was about how fantastic the UK fans support the players etc, you obviously don't support them at all.

 

You’re a silly billy.
