"dillian whyte vs wilder....we don't want wilder in the ring...we will freeze yall out"

couple days later "oh wilder aint comin? wed love to have him"

[Boxing Goat]

If it would be such an easy fight for Wilder, why won't he accept a career high purse for doing it and make his payday against AJ even bigger?

Lol what makes you think the champ should go to another country to defend his titles just because some bum called him out?

[EnglishOxide]

Wilder was gonna go help promote but since Heard and Joshua don't want him in the ring, then why bother going there unless he just wants to go see the event.

Don't make excuses for him ALL his relevant heavyweight rivals are there.

He was employed by Sky to do commentary and they are paying for everything.

All he has to do is show up.

He beat Chisora, who would steam roll old King Dung.

Chisora is not what he once was. King Kong blows him away......easy

Sky is AJ's Host Network.Sky is essentially part of Joshua's Team.Wilder feels like he's being set up, tbh i think with Whyte on his case, and AJ not letting him in, Deontay wants to stay within the realms of Alabama

Excellent points made. None that I disagree with. AJ/Wilder is the biggest fight that can be made. It will be the most lucrative.

Whyte's status will be unchanged by a unification. He can fight the winner, although if it's Wilder he will have wait until after the rematch clause. Obviously Wilder/Whyte would be not as big seeing as AJ already KO'd Whyte.

This is another fact that makes me think Hearn is going to HBO and going to wait on Wilder. I just hate that as a fan.

I get it from a financial position and can't argue Hearn should do anything different.

AJ vs Wilder would be the biggest fight for AJ next, assuming he beats Parker. But not by such a margin that they need to grab at it, and Whyte's profile and popularity in the UK are high enough now for Whyte vs Wilder to be a very big fight over here too. Though not as big as AJ vs Wilder, obviously.

I believe both Hearn and AJ think he beats Wilder. But with a big puncher, who has speed and range like Wilder, the chance of an upset is real. Fighting Wilder would introduce AJ to the US fans, but Miller would do that job too, with much less risk!

AJ and Hearn are looking ahead, and the aim is for AJ to be the undisputed HW champ and a PPV star in the US as well as the UK. If going to HBO means that AJ can't fight for the WBC title, he won't move, I'm sure about that.

Its too easy for these promoters its all supply and demand they want casual fans screaming for it and fighting each other on social media to create the divide so both sides are stacked with buyers

Ppl are crazy if they think Joshua possibly fighting miller in the US is anything other than creating exposure for AJ theres no ducking here really its 2 sides with flawed fighters who they aint cashing in until your grandmother is even willing to buy the PPV

That's true. On his bad nights he is very bad indeed nowadays. But I think the Chisora who fought Whyte would have worn down beaten Ortiz in 6 or 7 rounds.

He already KO'd Whyte so it can't be but so big and has the appearance of him being afraid of Wilder's power.

True Miller will allow him to get footing in the US. That said, given history, the potential to make AJ look even weaker exists.

You don't want a case like Wlad where he comes here and gets KTFO by a 2nd/3td tier guy. That loss forever tainted wlad in the eyes of many US fans. Losing to the best guy, not a big deal. Losing to a 2nd or 3rd tier guy is.

I get it-wait to fight, make US fans think you fear Wilder which makes the fight hotter and more lucrative, then go in and get the easy win.

Didn't see anything with Hearn or AJ saying he'd be invited in the ring, saw them saying they didn't want him in though. Please dismiss me with this first rodeo crap, from all i have seen and heard Hearn is interested in mentioning everyone as AJ's next opponent except Wilder. Wish Tyson Fury had his head on straight and was still champ, he would of already fought both AJ and Wilder twice by now

They said that all last week.

I didn't mean it was your first rodeo, but by saying something like that it seems like it.

They've said many times that Wilder is next on the list. AJs goal is to be undisputed in 2018, but no one seems to listen to it.

How can AJ promise Wilder he can get in after the fight when he has an undefeated champion before him? He needs to beat Wilder first, and if Wilder is invited which he most likely would be, then he can come in.

Probably true about Fury.
