Comments Thread For: Wilder Rejects Claim He's Pricing Himself Out For Joshua Bout

[koolkc107]

Beynoce's career high is $1 mil, and that's not including Haymon's huge cut.

Beyonce had to pretend like he was going to travel to Russia to make a career high $4.5 mil against a way past his prime 37 year old steroid-user.

These delusional American ******s think that Beyonce is going to make Joshua come to the U.S. for 50/50 or even get 40/60 in the UK when he was ready to get on his knees for Povetkin in Russia for $4.5 mil LOL?

Beyonce will be lucky to get Parker's deal...

If you think that, properly promoted, a heavyweight showdown between 2 undefeated, charismatic, KO artists from rival boxing countries can't sell a million PPVs AND do a great gate in Vegas, I want some of what you must be smoking.

It's the biggest fight that can be made in boxing and everyone knows it.

And the best financial place for it is Vegas, not Britain.

The fight will be in the US, you can count on that. And I will be right there in Vegas when it happens. UK fans are delusional to think AJ and Hearn would state a Wilder/Joshua fight in a country that is slightly bigger than California. Hearn knows the fight will make more money in the US. Both with SKY PPV and US PPV plus all the revenue from ticket sales and the casino site fee.

Yet that country, slightly bigger than California, managed to pack 90,000 in for Joshua v Klitchko, and is about to pack another 90,000 in for the Parker fight. Heck, he managed to draw 78,000 people to watch him against a last-minute fill in.

Meanwhile, Wilder brings in 10,000 people to the Barclays Center, for a rematch against his most "credible" foe to date.

The numbers absolutely destroy your bull**** narrative.

Someone who earns $1m to $1.5m saying that $10m plus will not be acceptable ��

[boliodogs]

He is demanding an even split and that is indeed pricing himself out. He is the B side and worth no more than Parker. If AJ beats Parker he will be even more the B side. However fighting Ortiz is a good move if he wins. It gives Wilder more credibility if he beats a top 5 world rated heavyweight because he has yet to do that.

Says the guy with a picture of Joshua in a **** uniform...

[Froch_uppercut]

it's "fast eddie" who is pricing AJ out who did he get the title off of charles martin that tells you all you need to know about "fast eddie" and aj couple of shills nothing more

Was it their fault Charles Martin had the belt?

FFS some people. Wilder won't even fight Whyte for millions. He earned less than a mill for
his last 'fight'.
It's a shame, because Wilder is entertaining and dangerous - if a bit unorthodox.
He'll fight a nobody or nobody while AJ takes aparker's belt, and then he will want a big payday for the unification fight.

Here's the problem, Hearn is already on record admitting AJ would make more money in a venue in America, rather than an Arena in Europe, so there's that.

And in American, selling 10k seats is actually a big deal, because the vast Majority of boxers in the US can't even reach the thousands in attendance let alone double figures. Man I wounder what AJ would do in an American arena. Some fans in the bleachers and a lot of empty seats maybe. Judging from his dungeon level views on Showtime, I would be surprised if he sold anywhere near 10k in America. Guarantee Wilder would do 10k in Europe. So lets not compare popularity from Europe to America, it doesn't really make sense.

Did you even read the article you linked to? Hearn himself says:

If we wanna upscale the pricing in Wembley, of course you’re gonna create a bigger gate".

Pretty self-explanatory.

Man, I don't even have to argue these days - people are shooting themselves down.

Wilders entire career has been about excuses as to why he can't fight this top ranked guy or that champion so yes this is the case here. BUMSQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sayf]

Wilder, forget this clown and move on. He doesn’t want that right hand landing on that glass jaw. He is looking for easy pickings to fill up those $10 soccer stadium seats. There are more better fighters out there than this bozo. Keep this Britain show in his homeland so those dilusional, drunk, dancing fans can enjoy mismatches. We know who the real champion is!!!

Lol, that's a new one! If there are better than Joshua or Parker out then why isn't he fighting them and why haven't those two fought them either?

He's avoiding Parker because he won't make anything and is pricing himself out of Joshua.

Who else in the division comes anywhere close to those two in terms of skill and money, other than possibly Haye/Fury (if either can sort their life out)

I want to see them all fight but the fanboyism on this forum from all sides is getting out of hand.
