    Big Baby Miller would be fun. And Whyte vs Wilder would be cool in the UK too.

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.
      Maybe we fight fans with some experience get conditioned by May-Pac sagas, but I too feel like it's slightly early and there could be some build-up. Wilder hasn't done anything remotely similar to stopping Klitschko in a shoot-out. Say what you want about Klitschko, lack of punching power was never his problem. Joshua survived his best shot and came back to stop him. What's Wilder's claim to fame? If we get this fight next it will be almost like getting it before we *really* asked for it.

        Whyte V. WILDER is not great. But Wilder v. Haye? I'd be interested in that one.

          True but I’d rather see it at Wembley. More fans who are more passionate it’s a better atmosphere.

            There's some good sparring footage of haye wilder on YouTube

            Trouble is it might be a hard sell after bellew three pieced him out the ring

            Would be high risk low reward for wilder .

            If he's not willing to fight whyte for 4 million he ain't fighting haye anytime soon

                I agree as aesthetically for fights I don't get the appeal with Vegas. I know the money is there. But as an event it looks dull as fook.

                Even that Mayweather/McGregor fight was really naff when it actually came down to the production considering the money on the line, even the lighting is shit - I wonder if there is a reason for that health and safety or whatnot. If you compare McGregor's UFC entrances to his Vegas one. He has green lights, the foggy dew plays, and then that Notorious track. It's cool. As a second generation Irish person I like it - it gets me going a bit.

                The entrances to that Mayweather and Conor honestly felt like when you've stuck out a club to the bitter end and they actually turn the lights on as the last song is playing.

                I never want to go and see a fight in Vegas personally.

                  Haye brings real money to the table in the UK. I follow British press closely. That's a $5 million fight for both guys and it sells out O2.

                  Haye is a business man and a competitor. I could see him going for that after doing away with the Bellew (lucky bastard lol)

                  I don't believe these guarantees that people are reporting in the US press, and I'm almost sure a Whyte v. Wilder fight isn't some hot ticket in the UK. Haye has a name and he's box office.

                  That $4 million number seems bogus to me. Unless he was trying to put them on AJ's undercard.

                    Yeh I agree haye wilder would sell better than whyte for sure

                    Might be on to something putting whyte wilder on the undercard

                    Would build up the Joshua fight for sure though

                    I guess we will have to wait for the next move

                    It's looking like wilder brezeal and Joshua miller / Parker next ... you can already see they are trying to build them fights up

                    Not long to wait anyway 2018 should be a big one
