Comments Thread For: Joshua-Parker: Showtime's First Replay Peaked at 483,000 Viewers

If Wilder is only getting a little over 1million viewers in the US, and AJ less than 1million, all none PPV .. how the heck are they going to generate $40million fighting each other?

Hearn needs to tell Joshua he's fighting in the U.S.A whether he likes it or not.

I'm ok with each having a tune up as long as it's here. Have the fights one week apart or AJ can fight on Wilder's undercard because it's clear Wilder is the A-side in the States

Really need this question to be answered by all these Wilder accountants. They seem to think double money would be available to pay everyone involved. Both aren’t massive stars in the USA. So am still baffled, up to 2 fights ago American networks didn’t put a lot into Wilder, he had to be fighting undercards of Broner and people like that. So I don’t get this stuff with this fans. At least with AJ everyone can see the market value that he brings in the UK. The same cannot be said of Wilder in America.

AJ has never fought in the States so that isn't clear at all.

Want to have a bet that if he fights Miller over there, he beats Wilder's highest numbers?

So false, I don’t even know where to begin, my friend.

I wish, I really need someone to explain how this fight can happen next in America. When both fighters are NOT big enough, when one fighter already earns and would demand a lot of money.

Now we know Wilder is a king of PPV... Oh wait he's a coward hiding in Alabama

Talk sense....wilder was not on ppv vs ortiz and asking people to shell out $70 dollars for wilder will make a lot less numbers than on normal cable t.v lol
Do you have a brain ?

Neither were PPV, so it’s a fair comparison.

That's a very good point. I personally don't think the last few fights have shown anything significant that we didn't know.

Maybe you could argue that we know Wilder's legs are stronger than we thought. Otherwise, both guys seems like we most if us thought they were.

I'm telling you, i believe Joshua has Peaked.That Klitschko fight was the best you have/will ever seen him.He just looks so rusty, slow and tame.If i was Hearn, age Wilder as he is 33 or Joshua will be Knocked out cold looking at the lights if the fight happens in the next 2/3 fights

Look at the viewing figures, this fight is going to take ages to build up in America.It can be done, but it will take 2/3 fights before they meet.Just sort this out in the UK, while they are both undefeated and no Mandatories.

I only bet real money. What are the terms ans how much can your afford
