Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager: If Vegas Wants Wilder-Joshua, It'll Be There

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Deontay Wilder's handlers aren't convinced that London's Wembley Stadium is the right site for a Wilder-Anthony Joshua heavyweight title unification fight. Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, has repeatedly stated that Joshua-Wilder should take place there. Joshua's career-defining stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko on April 29 drew an enormous capacity crowd of roughly 90,000 to Wembley Stadium, approximately 79,000 more fans than attended Wilder's first-round knockout of Bermane Stiverne on Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York (10,924).

You beat the Black version of ButterBean and you are demanding the shots don't work that way Deontay

Wilders manager is about 100 years old stuck in the past. They have to remember that they can't call the shots.

“And this is called prizefighting,” said Lou DiBella, who regularly promotes Wilder’s fights. “So the fight should happen where the biggest prize is.”


Pretty much agree with Dibella, the fight goes where the money is, if its Vegas then its vegas, if its England then its England. Hopefully america would back their own HW champion because they seem desperate to have this fight over there.

These guys are morons. Wilder is not a big enough name over here in the states to be calling the shots. Wilder vs Stiverne 2 was wonly able to seat 11,000 in a stadium that seats 18,000. Wilder is not a big enough draw so he shouldn't have any negotiation power. Joshua, on the other hand, is a superstar so he should have the ball in his park.

Wilder isn't a draw

[Boxfan83]

Does the UK have an equivalent to Las Vegas?

Wilder isn't a draw

That's why Vegas has to pay big bucks to get that fight done over there, they would probably end up losing money but hey they might re-coup it back if Wilder wins.

[Robbie Barrett]

No way this fight makes more in America. Neither is a draw in America. Is Vegas going to put up 10+ mil to get the fight, then there'll be all the lost revenue from UK PPV to take in to account. Keep dreaming.
