Have to laugh at Joshua's fans claiming their fight is bigger than Wilder-Fury 2.
One will be viewed on a streaming platform for $10, the other will sell over 600,000 PPVs at $75.
Joshua-Miller wouldn't break 100k in PPV buys if priced at $75.
If it goes to purse bids and ESPN lose, Fury can just pull out. Nothing lost, apart from a shot at the title.
If Wilder loses, he can't pull out of the purse bid as that would mean vacating his title.
If Dazn win the purse bid, the fight won't happen.
Joshua classes Ortiz as the 4th best heavyweight in the world, in his interview with the Breakfast Club, he mentioned Fury, Wilder & Ortiz.

I think AJ is pushing for the Ortiz fight for credibility, but his management are telling him to stay away because Ortiz is dangerous.
Fury has just lost millions. Stupid when you think about it.
Not really. Wilder-Fury 2 will be even bigger.
The two best heavyweights fighting each other.
Canelo's scared of fighting PBC fighters.
Plant, Benavidez and Jermall Charlo give him huge problems.
Canelo's struggled against PBC fighters like Floyd and Lara.
He doesn't, the two fights with Fury made Wilder a star.
That's why he got paid $28 million dollars for the 2nd Fury match.
The Wilder-Fury 2 fight was the biggest heavyweight fight of this era. Not one of Joshua's fights at Wembley with 90,000 matched the gate receipts of 15,000 tickets at the MGM.
Wilder's got enough $ to look after his family, particularly his daughter.
Eddie Hearn was offering Wilder flat fees for the Joshua fight.
