Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker Inching Closer, Says Hearn

[Tygshsu]

Delusion at it's best.Have you seen the Prices Showtime who i presume will carry this event given they have one more fight with Joshua charge for PPV.It wont do more than 300K buys which is what Ward Kovalev done on HBO,which is a bigger channel with a bigger audience to buy the PPV as well as Ward being a American it still done poor numbers.You can make the arguement that they can charge cheaper but then they might as well host it in the UK.My Opinion of Joshua v Wilder looks like this.Read the Next Post

AJ isn’t a PPV star in the US and Parker isn’t American so they won’t be able to make this fight in the US for US PPV. But Wilder said they are looking at options of fighting on the same card as AJ to build AJ vs Wilder.. I recon if AJ fights Parker and you have Wilder vs Ortiz on the undercard they can pull that off as a PPV in the US.

Every major heavyweight champ would be on the card and if they sell it as the winner of each fight faces each other for a mega undisputed unification, that should create enough buzz for a US PPV.

Read My First Post,second post is about how i believe Joshua/Wilder will happen.I believe he will face Parker in April/May Next Year then Hearn will move him over to HBO.This may look like a dodge from Wilder but what it will do is force the two Biggest American Channels to Collabrate which will only make the fight bigger given both can Promote and Advertise given both will have a Audience of 40 Million Subscribers to Convince to buy the PPV.PPV is Dead in America and this will be one of the ways that Joshua and Wilder can work as a Successful PPV,having both HBO and Sho together.However i believe the fight will happen at the end of 2018.Joshua will face Miller in the US after Parker,then Wilder will face Someone else on the same card,both Non PPV.Then it will lead to a massive winter showdown before Christmas in Vegas.

A dillian whyte rematch!? That guy that that aj has already beat? Pffft I'm sure they scared of wilder now. Must be if they talking about a whyte rematch.

As a boxing fan for over fifty years I feel AJ still has a lot to prove. I certainly would not crow about dispatching a severely over the hill klitschko , who before that was a participant in hands down the worst heavyweight championship bout I've ever snored through. As for his last fight, if he is so great he should have knocked that mediocre fighter out in one or two rounds. Having said that, as hard as it is to believe, Parker stunk the place up even worse against Hughie Fury. He looked as if he were waiting for a bus. If Parker does not come to fight once again he will find himself looking up at the lights on his butt. If he decides to use his talent, which he does have, it will be an interesting night.

No way Wilder fights Ortiz before getting to Joshua.

He is being protected until he gets that money fight with AJ. Wilder, Haymon, DiBella, Finkel, AND the WBC are in on it.

Why else would it not be the case when Wilder has violated the rules within the WBC handbook on multiple occasions?

Well yeah... hes had 19 fights ffs what more do you want out of a guy in 19 fights.

Basically you people are demanding he becomes the first ever undisputed heavyweight champion within 21 fights before you give him even a little credit.

Its ****ing pathetic tbh

Anyone with half a brain knows whats happening.

I hope hearn is NEVER so ****** as to take AJ to america to fight wilder, because the fix will 100% be in.

Uk or no fight.

This is a good fight, if the Joshua from the takam and klitschko fights shows up the Parker definatley has a chance, so time to trim off 10lbs of useless bulk and get back to his best.

Wilder can go suck a lemon for all i care, until that bum beats a top 10 fighter i dont give a **** about him.

You've made 100s of threads talking about and criticizing Wilder

I doubt you don't give a f.uck about him

[LetOutTheCage]

It should be a good fight, one thing Parker seems to have is resilience. Still favour Joshua heavily though.

[Robbie Barrett]

I wonder what all the "Parker deserves 35% because he has a belt and Joshua has 2" people are going to do when Joshua rolls in to Wilder negotiations with 3? I'm sure they won't be arguing Wilder deserves 25%. They'll flip flop.
