If he wants to cash out why face wilder? He can make more money elsewhereComment

What other HW makes Joshua more money than fighting Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder?Comment

[QUOTE=1hourRun;18416163]It tells me Deontay is WAY more popular than David Gay, Tony Bellend and Tyson Fury for starters, I'll let you figure out the rest.
With over 300m Americans he should have much much more.
But I would tell you this, once Birdlegs fights someone who could actually throw punches then his profile rises, a WBC HW champ for 3+ years with almost 40 fights, 90+ KO should and must be the A-side in any fight no matter the opposition.Comment

; Deontay said Las Vegas and so it is. We still haven't read about Wilder making concessions to ANY demands, contrary to what you think! it must hurt that your little island is nothing at this level.Comment

Spoken like a true fan girl. I've never seen so many fans so quick to bring up how popular their fighter is compared to another fighter ever in the sport of boxing. Pretty sad if you think about it, but I understand AJ is the UKs last hope of a superstar in the sport that you guys have nothing better to bring up than popularity and who sells more tickets. Lol when AJ takes that L you all will jump ship to BJS assuming he still has a belt. Same thing you fan girls did with Brook when he lost to Spence. Lol uk boxing fans are the worstComment

"[It makes it] more difficult, because if you go to the negotiating table with three belts instead of one, then you want an increase in the pie," Hearn said.
Those are paper titles CLOWN! the WBC is the only legitimate title in the HW division, and you talk about having a 'Base' in the U.S.A? Deontay brings in all the A-list celebrities to Vegas! the Brits will pack the bleachers tho, and all that talk about Wembley was a joke, we all know America is the Mecca of boxing and the only way to make real PPV money for this event.Comment

IMO Joshua is losing alotta cashish fighting in the U.S. as opposed to the 50-90K fans he gets in the U.S. And really, how many UK fans can afford the trip to see him fight here? Or even the getting off work part? Hearn should think it out more. England should be where the real champ Joshua wins all the marbles. It would be a mammoth event there.
Having said that, and taking money out of the equation, the location isn't as important as the fight itself getting made. Wilder just has to back off the 50/50 b.s. and let this thing happen. Even 40% of this huge fight is way bigger than anything he's ever made. And he knows that. He should also know HE makes more $$ if it's fought in England, because it's a much bigger fight there than here.
I hope the 50/50 split is just a negotiating tactic.Comment
