Oh, he don&#8217;t have 50 you know, he don&#8217;t have 50&#8243;.

They had to play clean up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But most of all I think is his management promotion that has really helped it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Actually I don&#8217;t think, I know for a fact, that it&#8217;s been management, it&#8217;s been promotion that have held him back from fighting me because you know, he&#8217;s a fighter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Of course, many times we get to the point where we say no, but then that peer pressure of people kicks in. &#8220;When you gonna fight Wilder? When you gonna fight?&#8221; It&#8217;s been over six years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is the biggest fight in the world. I&#8217;m gonna fight because we don&#8217;t want to look like we&#8217;re lesser than who we are.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We&#8217;re gladiators, all of us, we risk our lives for your guys&#8217; entertainment, for you to have jobs, for you to talk about something. You know what I mean? We risk our life for that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;People don&#8217;t understand that. So with that being said, he wanted to fight, he wanted to accept it, but his handler didn&#8217;t want it because Joshua is the money-maker for the company.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/16\/78070355-12775765-image-a-16_1700585270548.jpg\" height=\"443\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Wilder accused Joshua of turning down a $50million (\u00a340m) offer to fight him<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And if he goes down, so does the business.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When asked if it concerns him if the fight will go ahead given that Joshua still turned down \u00a340m for it, Wilder responded:\u00a0&#8216;It used to for a very long time, you know, and we still continue to try to get it [sorted].<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But at this moment in time, I don&#8217;t think that exists no more as far as worrying if it&#8217;s gonna happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I know for sure it&#8217;s gonna happen now.
