Wilder putting the heat on AJ.. Aj better commit soon

We're not playing fantasy anything. We speaking plainly about the realities of the industry.

They can't put the fight on PPV in the US unless it takes place in the US.

The amount of lost revenue in the UK if the fight takes place in the US is much less than the lost revenue in the US if the fight takes place in the UK, hence the pot being larger in the US.

It's basic economics. None of this may matter as Hearn will attempt to leverage AJ to land a major deal with HBO, but if AJ sticks with Showtime and actually fights Wilder, you're likely looking at a two fight deal with a US fight on PPV and a UK fight on Showtime.

Oh good good, so you were lying. Yes, Wilder does the worst ratings if you don't count everyone doing worse ratings.

Brilliant!

Theres a difference between "lying" and using comprable data. If you think fights featuring guys like Berto, Ortiz, Avalos, Joe Smith, and Fonfara (guys who are either irrelevant or virtually unknown) are comparables for Wilder then you're clearly just talking nonsense and not interested in putting forth logical discussion. You're post can't be taken seriously.

The fact is Wilder isn't popular to a broad us market. Just a fractured boxing community, which would suggest the ceiling for that fight is around 300k and that's in an ideal situation where Joshua had acquired a US presence which isn't happening anytime soon. Realistically they could pull 200k in a summer fight, with each fighter winning their next scrap. With that being the reality, the fight will take place in the UK if it happens in 2018.

what you mean wilder dosent after fight him hes begging for the aj fight hearn has told him you need to fight a live fighter known to the uk to make the fight a big draw aj v whyte would sell more hear than aj v wilder he needs to step up if he wants the big payday wilder acts like hes bringing all the money and belts to the table

UK fans are wayyyy more into boxing than here in the US....wilder is a big, US, heavyweight that knocks people out...the UK fans know exactly who he is...make no mistake about it....they know enough about him to fill 90k stadium.....if hes filling 70 for carlos takam wilder will fill out 90 with joshua
