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

Does the UK have an equivalent to Las Vegas?

Nope, but the way Uk fighters are marketed is different. Joshua for example has a big following, he is already pushing £15M per fight if am right. And he has only been a pro for like 4 years.

What people don't realise is ringside seats were capped at 2k for the AJ/Klitschko fight, with ticket prices being even less than the proposed Fury/Klitschko 2 at the MEN.

I'd expect those prices to go up and ringsides going for crazy money for a Joshua/Wilder fight, it's inevitable, he could sell out Wembley in 5 minutes at the current price. Hearn could probably increase every ticket by 5x and it would still sell out in 1 hour.

Itll be in uk

Makes most money there

and wilder said he would go there...dibella said wilder would do it in uk

Joshua will get caught on PED's as soon as the fight is signed. VADA is paid off to protect wilder and VADA's record is 3-0 3 KO's

you mean a place where 60 got shot dead and over 500 wounded?

I really liked the atmosphere for Klitchko vs Joshua, it was a Wrestlemania like which I think is needed for a HW fight of that magnitude. If the UK had a Vegas type of city, itd probably be unbelievable. I think Wilder vs. Joshua should be in the UK but itd be nice for Joshua to fight once in Vegas beforehand just to get some recognition especially if theres a rematch, then it can happen in Vegas regardless of the outcome.

Of course it would be nice to see him fight in Vegas, i also think that build up the Wilder fight perfectly. Someone like Fat baby Miller would be a credible opponent. But who knows, but if you suggest that route then its "You dont want to see Joshua/Wilder next"..........Even thought we all know that fight isn't happening next.

believe it or not this fight would make more money in america than the uk. 90k seats at wembley at say $100 each is only $9m gate money whereas vegas could charge at least a grand per seat so 20k seats at $1k a piece is $20m just off tickets. then you got ppv sales if this fight were in vegas more people in the UK/US would have to buy the ppv since most of the casuals wouldn't be able to travel/book hotels/buy tickets to see the fight live. just depends if vegas thinks this fight can put up the hype like floyd/canelo/pac past fights have.

Of course I want to see it next and In a perfect world it wouldve happened already but I have come to a small understanding of the business side of things. This "fight" not just one fighter has the potential to catch the casuals eye so I think a lil more marinating is needed. Itd actually be cool to see a split telecast with Wilder fighting in the UK and Joshua in the USA, both win in each others homeland then fight each other.

Probably Blackpool or Butlins Skegness

That would be a very smart way to promote it. Presuming Wilder fought Whyte, who is the next best US heavyweight after Wilder that could give Joshua a credible contest in the US? Or would there be an appetite for him taking on Parker there?
