      There's no guarantee the fight will do those numbers in the US, so why risk it?

        Hearn knows Vegas can make huge money. If it couldn’t then Vegas wouldn’t even be an option

            This is considered success in the UK

            90k in attendance Joshua vs. Klitschko =£8 mil gate

            This wasn't even a superfight

            14k in attendance Calzaghe vs. Hopkins = $11 mil gate

            Everybody knows the money is in the U.S. Even Barry Hearn said it. Stop playing and fooling yourself. Cotto-Canelo generated more than those £15 PPV's over there.

            Joshua vs. Wilder in Vegas is a higher gate and you can charge for PPV's here and there.

            God damn, if you keep reaching this far you'll put NASA out of business

              What's Wilders highest gate? How many PPV has he sold?

              Why you comparing other more popular fighters? Show us the Wilder numbers.

                  This is Hilarious...Americans taking pride in the fact they get mugged off by their own people.Mayweather v Pacquiao/Mcgregor, US Fans had to pay $100.UK had to pay $20.I know where i'd rather live and watch boxing.US Ticket Prices v Uk, the optimal of mugging people off.No wonder Americans are known as the thickest creatures to ever exist

                    It was big enough to better a Floyd fight. The US don't know Joshua or Wilder like that.

                      Dillian Whyte draws more money than Wilder.
