Comments Thread For: Bellew: Wilder Needs Some Hype Around Him, Never Mind Joshua

[sayf]

this needed to be said, thanks a lot and great post!

Considering you seem to agree with him, please point out where I'm wrong in my assessment.

what a bunch of rediculous fanboi spin,stop trying to justify the blatant ducking.

Which part is ridiculous?

1)Hearn wants to make money
2)Wilder is relatively unknown at home and internationally (Judged on his ticket sales and international profile)
3)Wilder fighting a rated British fighter would raise his profile
4) AJ and Wilder make a truck load of cash from the resulting hype.
5)I'd rather just watch AJ vs Wilder now than have to wait, but I know that won't happen because the money can be bigger, because.....
6)Refer to point 1

Which of those point is disputable?

I'm not justifying it, because I want to see the fight, I'm simply stating why I don't think it'll happen any time soon.

That I doubt very much Hearn will let AJ fight Wilder in the near future, until he thinks Wilder's profile is big enough in the UK to make a mega fight.

****ty situation for the fans, but money talks.

Bellew is a Joshua fanboy. When he's working for Sky on an AJ fight, he sounds like he wants to suck Joshua's wang. It's embrarrassing

I think wilder vs aj will be a mega fight either way it goes, but if they make the deal for him to fight whyte first then so be it. I just hope wilder goes there and not demand it in the states

No doubt it's a mega fight for those of us who follow boxing regularly, but yeah I hear you if in the States it would fail to attract the crowds AJ gets in the UK. I've said a lot about Wilder being relatively unknown in the USA and around the world, but the same could be said for AJ in the US. He doesn't have the same profile as he does in the UK so the money will be terrible. No way either of them sells out a stadium in America.
