Comments Thread For: Joshua-Wallin, Wilder-Parker Mega-Card Official For December 23 in Saudi Arabia

[Toffee]

It will be interesting to see which network carries it because I just saw the press conference on YT and it looked almost like a Frank Warren controlled event. If I'm Dazn there is no way I'm letting this play on ESPN+ in the States.

Wilder just posted on social media...

I’m excited to announce December 23, I will be fighting in Saudi Arabia on Dazn pay-per-view in one of the most important fights in my career against the former champion @joeboxerparker this is about to be crazier than ever..Don’t miss it!!!

people really saying this is a great card? has boxing sunk that low? dont follow boxing so much now so am out of the loop but no wonder people watch UFC instead if this is seen as an 'incredible' card, jesus christ, i genuinely clicked on the thread thinking people were going to be criticizing it because joshua and wilder are fighting C-level opponents (maybe D level in shot parkers case now) instead of each otheror have we not waited long enough for them to fight each other yet? bivol will win every round in his fight, miller v dubois is pretty interesting and competitive on paper but then again neither of them are that great are they, couple of fringe level fighters one with no heart and one who is a drugs cheat... fair enough if you guys think its amazing though whatever floats your boat i guess

I think people are generally happy because there's been no HW action all year and now we get HW fights on one xard. I think

I think I'm the only fella who isn't all that excited about this. AJ/Wallin should be in London and Wilder/Parker should be in Vegas. I know they 'secured the bag' but this may be setting a terrible precedence for us REAL boxing fans. If AJ and Wilder happens next and it's not done in the UK or Vegas but in Saudi am going to be very disappointed because that means other big fights will go over there and we will get robbed from being able to go to the fights to watch OUR sport!!

Lololololol
I guess You're gonna be disappointed then
AJ vs Wilder most likely will br staged in Saudi that's where the $$$ are

[NoConcoms]

I still go for AJ but can't see him looking good doing it

This exactly. I'm picturing a 7-5 or 8-4 type of decision for Joshua. I could also see Wallin ko'ing AJ. After Ruiz 1, I would not rule that out in the slightest.

I love this card and looking forward to seeing it. Great end of the year present for true boxing fans.

Yea I get AJ and Wilder that's cool cause they basically carried the HW division the last 10 years and they deserve to get super paid. I'm talking about fights like Tank vs Ryan, Bud vs Boots and Benn vs Eubank jr. Those are fights that REAL boxing fans like to witness in person. I don't want all the good fights going over there and played out in front of a crowd of people who have no idea what they're looking at. There are only a handful of boxing fans left over here and if they take what little we have left then that will be the last nail in the coffin for boxing.

AJ will beat Wallin, beaten him twice before and wallin lacks the power to trouble AJ. Will be a points victory for AJ

Tough balancing act. I think we're watching the Saudis basically take over the sport. They'll make the big fights happen, but we'll lose the crowd spectacle of a big US or UK fight.

And I don't know how you build another AJ without crowds. That's was Matchroom and Sky's approach. Generate a massive following and use that to make fights happen. I don't see how the Saudis will build the next generation of stars.

fair enough, not trying to be the ghost at the feast if people are looking forward to it so be it, just didnt think fans would be so happy to watch joshua and wilder fight in some stay busy fights rather than each other, not as if its some gift to fans the ppv will be expensive if im paying 30 quid i would expect more than to watch joshua and wilder bomb out a couple of stiffs, doubt parker even gets out of round 1
