    exactly ...

    Wilder is just g lo ing through social media getting people who wouldnt buy his ppv vs stiverne in a rematch. It had to be on free showtime , even showtime didnt want it.

    Most wilders fans are streamers and people who watch ppvs at someones house as a group on one tv

    Its completely understandable from an economic standpoint to want wilder to up his resume and fight parker, fury , whyte , pulev.

    If joshua fights parker or fury , the likelyhood is miller and wilder both fight domestic level fighters rather than pulev or parker fury or whyte.

      Floyd had to play a character a villain to hit his numbers, Joshua and other HW's who make ludicrous dollars do so because they are freaks of nature with life changing power. HW's has always been the money division with the exception of a few gaps in boxing history but the big money has mostly been with the heavies dating back to the end of the 1800s. So unless you get the adoration of the public or play the heel, your best chance at seeing the best purses in boxing would be the hw division.

        Here I'll make it easier for you.

        When a guy fights and earns 1 million they forfeit 60k for fighting in NY or Texas.

        Most of us on here make around 60k in a YEAR. I don't hold anything against guys fighting in LV for that reason

              Vegas has 0% income tax - ZERO. Fighting in Texas or New York you forfeit 6 cents of every dollar...or 6 million of 100 million...and Floyd did make that kind of money.

              Why do that? Like what sense does it make???
              To say you headlined arenas and stadiums throughout the world. Imagine saying you not only headlined in Vegas, but at Madison Square Garden and the AT@T Stadium in Texas. Having a career that spanned multiple cities and countries is the kind of shit I'd want to do if I were a fighter.

                  "Mayweather never once made a fight we all wanted when we wanted it."

                  Nonsense just watch all of the old floyd fights on HBO when the commentators said for example "i'd like him to take on mosley next" and Mosley came out after the fight- what happened ? Mayweather vs Mosley was next. And that happened with tons of other fights.

                    Being able to say "I headlined arenas" doesn't keep the electricity on or food at the table. Floyd did all that during his tenure with Top Rank. Lucky for AJ he ascended right to the top and won't have to deal with those nonsense venues

                      It does when you make millions regardless, and anyone headlining events will likely find themselves in the eight figure range within no time. It don't cost much to put food on the table or keep the electricity going. I always love these type of nonsense rebuttals.
