    Do those 90k people outweigh the 2mill potential ppv audience in the US doe? Not sure the fighter cut on the $20ish ppv in the UK vs the $70ish ppv in the US doe so maybe it's not worth it idk, but I'd assume it is and idk that you can be a US ppv star without fighting in the US. So there is that question to ponder for Hearn and Joshua.

      Wilder cannot sell any tickets in America. Maybe a few ****** dwellers and crack mammies would go see a Wilder fight. Wilder has an IQ of 45 and thinks England is next to Maine.

        A PPV fight will definitely take some time to build up. AJ and Wilder can't even do great ratings on premium cable.

            This fight will be on both u.s. and u.k. ppv whether they fight in vegas or the u.k., pacquiao fought chris algieri in china and it still did 300k ppv which isnt great numbers, but i doubt it would have been much more in the u.s., and even if it would hurt u.s. ppv a little having it in the the u.k. the u.k. ppv numbers would make up for it in this case. I like wilder but he is nowhere near as big in the u.s. as Joshua is in the u.k. Joshua is a superstar over there while wilder isnt known outside of boxing fans in the u.s.

            I really like wilder a lot but let's face it he hasnt exactly fought murderers row, and that is what is needed to truly become a mainstream star. De la hoya, pacquiao, and mayweather all had to fight a slew of top fighters and champions to become ppv fighters and even then they had to fight bigger fights to become huge stars. Wilders best win by far is against a slow fat slob stiverne. Not blaming wilde at all because his opponents keep failing drug tests and he fights for al haymon who doesnt know how or isnt willing to build ppv stars. He would rather coddle his fighters and get them easy paydays and pad their records, and that's good for the danny garcias and robert guerreros who never had the potential in the first place, but that doesnt help guys like wilder or errol spence who have the potential and i think truly want to make history.

                What you mean make this fight worthy of watching?

                So you rather both guys wait it out for 3 years like Joshua and his team said??

                He's the GOTDAMN champ!

                If it isn't worthy of watching for you right now or next year then heavyweight boxing ain't for you or boxing in general!

                Just seen on your profile it says your from UK...nevermind!

                That explains that comment!

                  I heard Hearn say in the UK the money is in the gate. In the US the money is in the TV licensing fee.

                    What have you guys been served up by Wilder in his 38 fights? Before you guys talk first look at yourself. I can safely say Joshua has only 19 fights and has accomplished more in those 19 fights than Wilder has done in 38 fights. And who mentioned 3 years?

                    That fight is meh to me because Wilder only has the belt, just like the Parker fight is meh to me. None of them has done anything to make you go gaga for that fight period.

                    I dont give a toss if my profile says japan, the most knowledgeable american poster who know me on here knowns i am one of those posters who couldnt careless about nationality.

                    Backed spence to beat Brook, Back Mayweather to beat Hatton, am not you mate. Am patriotic but not when face with facts, and the fact is Wilder has done shit to get his way with this fight.

                    Again look up my post history in that last 10 years and see if am one of you (Nationality zombies). The only reason you are posting all these irrelevant stuff is because you are american.............So yeah never mind.

                      Typical Joshua fan girl, protecting the man but projecting his hypocrisy!

                      If Joshua has done more than Wilder has wouldn't that make him the more experienced fighter between the two?

                      Joshua mentioned 3 year's he'll be ready to fight Wilder in his interview with Johnny Nelson, it's on YouTube if you don't believe me!

                      So a Wilder vs Joshua fight is "meh" to you but your wet in your willies for AJ to fight midgets, old men, men who are terrified of him and sparring partners! Makes sense!

                      You said a Joshua vs Parker fight is meh as well so I guess if Wilder beats and takes Parker's belt you'd basically still say a Wilder vs Joshua fight is "meh"!

                      LOL I don't give a damn what other people think, you're protecting Joshua from the @sswhooping that's coming his way once Hearn makes that deal!

                      Who should Wilder beat if he not worthy? Hm...Parker? Hughie Fury?

                      Whyte?...Big Baby Miller? Pulev??Lmao
