Comments Thread For: Larry Holmes: Joshua Should Face Wilder in UK - Not in America

[KillaCamNZ]

Hes the Easton assasin get it straight dont disrespect a legend like that.

It's a term of endearment where I'm from, to call someone by the name of their hometown and boy. It's acknowledgement that they represent their territory well.

Don't get your flaps in a tangle.

Money talks

Joshua-Klitschko is about as big as a fight in the UK could ever get.

Joshua-Wilder isn't going to be bigger than that in the UK, so why not shoot for the upside on the fight at T-Mobile Arena (especially if you can leverage an early spring return fight for both guys into a 4-month build to the Heavyweight title unification fight, with nothing else to compete against it for attention).

Yes listen to one of the greatest. The Easten Assassin

[SugarRayCurtain]

Why have it in Vegas if theres not enough interest?
A fight like that deserves the biggest venue possible, go to the UK Wilder

In an ideal world, it would be on neutral ground bc they’re both champs and undefeated but if they want to make the most money from this fight it’s gotta be in the UK.

[PunchyPotorff]

Holmes is right. THE most money for this fight is in England. Wilder just needs to pipe down and stop gettin' his tittzin an uproar. Maybe the rematch in Vegas after Joshua annihilates him, but fight #1 must be UK bound.

Larry Holmes is just another hating as old-head hating on 'Young-Money' the new face of American Boxing -- he really is on board with the rest of the American geezers cheering for Joshua, because they want to see Deontay ' Bronze-Bomber' Wilder fall and thereby keep these relics relevant as the best America has ever produced.

What disgraceful quotes from this geezer trying to send Deontay to the UK to get robbed. I'm so disappointed in these frauds -- support your own!

Wilder shouldnt even get 5% of the split if you compare numbers.

[doom_specialist]

I agree. Joshua has the bigger fanbase, better resume, and holds more belts. Wilder literally has Stiverne and nothing else to bargain with, though I'm rooting for him to win lol

AJ. earns massive money in the UK. and the Americans have been used to viewing the heavyweight champion from
abroad.If and when it makes sense to defend in America then I'm sure AJ. will be more than willing.
