Who Is Really The A-Side: Wilder or AJ?

[Earl-Hickey]

I give deontay a real good chance to win the fight but to say he's the a side is atraight trolling.

Wilder is not even breaking a mil on regular cable and Joshua isn't a draw either. There's less interest in these two than there was for Ward and Kovalev. You're ******ed if you think this makes more money in the US.

They are heavyweights.

And both men are KO artists

Put together the right card. promote it properly and it will sell.

And damned well too.

My point is, there is more money in a Vegas fight.

And a Vegas fight either has no A-side or Wilder as a slight A-side.

Joshua and its not even close. About 18 people know who Wilder is in the U.S. Maybe half that in the U.K.? Now Joshua is about 18 people in the U.S. as well but apparently damn near everyone in the U.K knows him. Wilder can't draw here in the states and Joshua could sell out a stadium over in England fighting me. All the money is with Joshua in this fight.

Two heavyweight KO artists?

It will sell itself.

if wilder was such a huge star he would be fighting in vegas right now since thats where the big money is but the fact he needs joshua just to fight in vegas kinda proves hes not anywhere close to the a-side. also the numbers also prove that. 10 times less fans, much less live gate, much less ppv revenue. keep on fantasy debating it though with fantasy numbers of what you think might happen. promoters dont do that. they rely on acutal data.

Damn!

This thread takes on a whole different perception a few months later and a 50 million dollar offer hanging out there, don't it?

I TOLD YOU IT IS 50/50 IF IT IS A VEGAS FIGHT.

Being right all the time gets boring, which is why I don't hang out here as much as I used to...

No one is denying that there a is crapload of money to be made if the fight is held in the UK.

I will go on record as saying that the fight should be held in Wembley.

But, the idea that there is a clear A-side here is absolute rubbish.

AJ is very popular in Britain.

Wilder is nowhere is nowhere near as popular in the US as AJ is in his country, but he DOES draw a lot better viewership in the US than AJ.

And, after last night I would say Wilder is more A-side if the fight were to be held here.

Here's the rub.

According to Wilder and his peeps, Vegas is the best place to hold the fight...and, the take makes sense.

Watch this:

Both need each other, they are both A Side
