Comments Thread For: Joshua Promoter: We Want Wilder By Year's End - Even in U.S.

[Tygshsu]

Joshua vs. Parker is the final fight of the Showtime contract. If Hearn takes AJ to HBO, this fight doesn't happen!

Hearn is actually quite useless when it comes to AJ.AJ TELLS HIM WHAT TO DO.Not the other way around.He said he wants to fight Wilder Next,he has to stay on Showtime for it to happen.Dosent make sense to move to HBO,they have no fighters in the HW divison.

Word! Americans wudnt pay to see Wilder fight yet they come here saying BS!

These boys make me laugh,they just do it because they are secretly so patriotic and try and hide it.

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 worst

When Yanks watch Bird Legs get KTFO.They will move on to Jarell Miller, 'the hope of American Boxing'.Brook was weightcut and damaged after GGG,your boy Spence is sly,he dosent admit that he waited for GGG to deal with Brook first then he wanted to fight him.GGG ended Brook's Career not Spence,he would've beaten Spence on points if he hadnt faced GGG.

Somebody said that the WBC title is the only legitimate title in the heavyweight division and the other belts are paper titles...

ROTFLMAO

So the people that held those titles were paper champions? Okay sure buddy

[JRB123]

Dosent make sense to move to HBO,they have no fighters in the HW division.

Hearn has fighters in the heavyweight division and had a card on HBO November 11th with a recently signed heavyweight on it...

Deluded Yank, Og, lossss. Keyboard og calling himself a little fan girl. FYI, money, popularity, lawyers, boxers and more all determine when and how a fight is made and splits, how much or % splitt do you think Money Mayweather took per fights? you should also know most networks didn't want to show wilder-stivern 2, look it up little og! then ask yourself why.

As much as I want to see AJ fight Wilder they are clearly looking past Parker and that is a big mistake. The greats all lost to fighters we didn’t expect because they took fights lightly.. AJ and Hearn are already talking about Wilder and Povetkin, that is a bad sign they are looking past Parker. Hes not a washed out has been, he’s young, undefeated can crack and has a solid chin.. Just concentrate on Parker and if you get passed him then talk about Wilder.

He's only saying that hoping Wilder loses to Ortiz. That way, he can be matched up with Ortiz next. Soon as Wilder wins, they will price themselves out.

Can you demonstrate that? Any evidence? The money in the UK is real, it's been demonstrated repeatedly. At the moment, the US riches are conjecture because Wilder hasn't broken through in the US market.

Nothing has changed since the last thread, though perhaps Hearn's words perhaps signal that he's been getting positive signals from US broadcasters and venues

The margins are better here. Wilder-Ortiz does not have much to do with this fight because Wilder-Ortiz will happen in Brooklyn, not Vegas. The key to the success is that both guys win their fight, the broadcasters and sponsors that typically help stage fights as big as this chip in, which I believe they will. Add to that the fact that we will be looking at one unified heavyweight champion - all the marbles. Lastly, our PPVs cost a lot more. Even at $70, we are already looking at 3 times the margin. I believe the UK fans will buy AJ's PPV, so what you lose in the stadium, you make up a lot more from staging in Vegas, the American PPV and sponsorship as well.

Big talk but we know he's not fighting Wilder in the states. Hearn has built a profitable thing over there in the UK. He's going to tap into that.

I don't believe a word of it from Hearn or Joshua.
