Comments Thread For: Wilder: Parker is Joshua's Top Priority, We're Not Going To Chase

[juggernaut666]

umm...not sure if you realize this....but someone posted a video the other day...and this guy was from the UK and a joshua fan...saying the fight has to be in the US

the video was of richard schaefer explaining how the money works....a UK ppv is 1/3-1/4 the price of a US ppv.....so basically 1 million buys in the UK is equal to 300k buys in the US......so the fight is going to be in the US and wilder is the only heavyweight that can bring a US ppv audience to the table.....thus he is def worth at least 40/50 percent of the split......very simple when u think about it....

Not sure if you realise this but Hearn WANTS the fight at Wembley where the money will actually generate more .

Wilder has never even done ONE ppv event ever anywhere .

Richard needs to take the needle out of his arm if he thinks Wilder can generate remotley the views Joshua does in the U.K .......and then the issue of Wilder fantasy land demands all together !

the money will not "generate more" at wembley.....as someone already mentioned....canelo/chavez did better at the gate than AJs last couple of fights......ticket prices and ppv prices in the UK are not equal to what they are in the US.......even if you sell 90k tickets in the UK its not the same as 18-20k in the US

hearn and company will need to come to terms with this...this is why they are having a hard time actually wanting the fight....its much easier for them to stay over there and not face a threat of wilder

a fight in the US lands them both UK and US ppv money...which is much better for both guys

i guess you arent reading and comprehending too well huh? what richard explained is in the US you only need to do 1/3 of the buys to equal the money that you would get if you do a million in the UK.....so lets explain this for you in slow motion....1k UK ppvs=300k US ppvs

now how many fights in the UK do you see getting put on US ppv? basically none...so you do fight in the US you get UK and US ppv money....

you follow yet or are you drunk/******?

No you versus Joshua is not one of the biggest fights, Joshua would wipe his Ass with you. Wilder is just trying to cash out, he knows eventually he will be exposed. BUMSQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know AJ is fighting Parker next. Don't know why everyone is pissing themselves for this guy just coming out and saying it. Maybe if Hearn said it, people's brains could accept it more easily.

One sensible post here!

Parker would have made sense first for either fighter to be honest, just obviously Parker wants the money Joshua can generate so went for Joshua rather than Wilder.

End of the day if Joshua beats Parker and Wilder beats Ortiz then Joshua v Wilder would be that much bigger... which is more money for Joshua and Wilder. Can near enough guarantee that if DiBella had a chance to make Wilder v Parker before Wilder v Joshua he would have too.

Yea, it's incredible the amount of fan posturing going on here. Really bizarre. It seems for months that Joshua and Parker were going to eventually collide, as well as Wilder and Ortiz. There's been some hiccups but it's finally coming around. I guess people have nothing else to argue about so they're going to beat this dead horse a bit longer.

Dont be an idiot as usual

Calling somebody an idiot is very easy. Let's see if your post ends up proving your case though . . .

team Wilder KNOWS the stadium in the U.K isnt available until summer to house the amount he wants at Wembley

Our position was that it would be a poor business decision to do the fight next. So you call us idiots, but then your position ends up being that it would be a poor business decision to do the fight next.

Is there something wrong with you? We all agree (and Hearn & Haymon agree as well) that the smart business decision is to continue to build up the fight and not do it next. Is your life that miserable that you even lash out at the people you agree with?

Feel better man. Merry Christmas.

Hearn and Joshua are embarrassing They want UK Fans to forget about the world boxing stage and just consider British scene! They need to stop ducking wilder and hiding behind percentages it's a disgrace!!! Before anyone starts I'm English

1) The easiest way to see its rubbish is the offers come from the UK not the US. If Vegas wanted it it would get it.
The Klitschko rematch they wanted, the US wanted to see him fight.
2) schaefer hates Hearn because he ridicules him.
3) schaefer is the guy who doesn't understand the US market and failed to sell the WBSS there.

keep yourself relevant by mentioning the 'stiff' bodybuilder as y'all call it

[RapidSon]

Its amazing how both Parker and Joshua ran to each other and aren't budging from negotiations. Both admitted to saving the best for last(Wilder) so really all talk was just smoke and mirrors.
