Comments Thread For: Hearn: Hard for Joshua to Leave UK When He Draws 90,000 Fans

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

I think he's prob scared too, or at least Hearn messing up his rep with the blatent diverting of this fight. Wilder though knew he had to fight Stiverne months ago so it's pointless waiting till your both tied up to start calling Josh out. They'll fight hopefully next year summer latest.

Lmao bet he wasn’t expecting that response

Oh definitely the fight would happen, IMO this is the only fight that could generate good money for them if built up properly. Bigger fights doesnt just happen in 3 months, you need a good 6 months to build it up and am sure with the right build up the fight would happen next year.

Do i think Joshua is scared lol no fucking way, why? because they are competitors. Thats what they do, and i don't think hearn (Who i really dislike) is messing up his "rep" at all.

The A-side is the only side you can accuse of ducking a fight, you can never accuse the B-side unless they talk themselves into a fight and then backed off it.

Haymon needs to put his foot down and make Wilder vs Parker next!

Joshua can keep fighting sparring partners and ancient men or midgets...it won't save him from the nuclear right hand of Wilder!

Now thats what am talking about, let Haymon do something with Wilder and make this fight worthy of watching, 38-0 and only one decent name on that resume.

Joshua has the 2nd highest Showtime TV rating this year. Higher than Wilders last 2 fights on Showtime, and it was on in the daytime.

Wilder's championship fight with Stiverne did 1.24M viewers on Showtime.

AJ's fight with Klitschko did 738K on HBO's rebroadcast and 659K live (in the afternoon) on Showtime

Wilder fanboys in 3..2..1

Joshua's fans, Hearn, and even Joshua all fall back on the money issue. Tyson fought in Japan, Ali fought in the Philippine's, Nelson fought in Australia. Now you might say that they never made Joshua type money. Tyson did.

Fans complained about Floyd and Dlh only fighting in Vegas and Ward never leaving the continent. Fans ask Joshua to come to America and you say what for? If Joshua has all of these fans in America and Googletrend or whatever lmao proves this then what's the problem with Joshua coming to America? Foh with your hypocrisy.

All those fights happened where they were because that's where the most money was offered. You really think Ali said "Ive always fancied fighting in the Phillipines". Rumble in the Jungle, the dictator put up the money for the fight to happen there. Noones gunna fight outside their own country unless its for more money.

Joshua/Wilder happens in the UK at the moment, it makes the most money there. Few things happen and it can easily switch to the US by the end of the year, Joshua has to fight someone else in the US first, and Wilder has to fight in the UK.

It's not going to an easy one to make. Wish they could do something incredible like have the fight in Asia or Africa or some ****, but that's not going to happen. Vegas or London.

Well they could lobby for a fight in Nigeria lol, maybe their president would put the money up and we can have our own era of "Rumble in the jungle" like Ali and Foreman did in Zaire.

Could see that happening in a few years though. Schaefer got that Nigerian heavyweight prospect, aint seen him myself yet, by all accounts hes devastating
