I was referring to this website. You must be blind if you haven't noticed people calling AJ a massive draw and Wilder a nothing.

But he is correct though.AJ's home market he makes 10 Million a Fight.Wilder's home market he makes 2 Million a Fight.Wilder Needs AJ, far more than AJ needs Wilder.That WBC Can be put on the side as Hearn and AJ can just milk fights against Povetkin, Whyte, Miller and wait for Fury to come back.The Power is all on Joshua's side

AJ is a local star tbh

It has nothing to do with networks its aj. Klit was popular over here after being built even tho nobody liked him

Boxing was more mainstream back then.

And he fought most of his fights on HBO.

I also think a lot of people thought he was the one who fought Lennox Lewis.

You may be right that both fighters are not big enough. But you’re underestimating Wilder. In fact, Wilder-Ortiz could have been put on PPV and it probably would’ve done respectable #’s. That’s if Showtime were like HBO. Thank God they don’t.

Wilder is a pretty big name. He’s a star. If Joshua can increase his exposure to the American audience (not with performances like his last two), you have a PPV live from Vegas.

Exactly, that is why i fully understand why Eddie Hearn wants Joshua to fight Jarell Miller in New York.However the problem i see is Miller is associated with HBO, Joshua's Showtime contract is up.... That will just give Joshua/Hearn more power over Wilder to say that if you want the Joshua fight you have to come over to our network...

He'a not, trust me if he makes his American Debut against Miller for example in New York/Barclays Centre, you will see a lot of hype.Thousands of British Fans will come over, it will be Prime Time, HBO or Showtime will build it up excessively as you are looking at a Potential PPV After.Wilder hopefully will be their and you can combine his audience and his personality to it.I see it doing 1.5-2Million views esp if it's on HBO as they have a larger base

That would be silly. Why would they try to create another roadblock? Unless they don’t want the fight.

This is funny

After all the talk about A side B side they put up these dismal numbers in a unification. Wilder nearly tripled those numbers with a Cuban contender.

The market shows people are watching boxing more in America then 10 years ago though

Kind of weird that the replay numbers were that much higher that the live show. They're usually similar, no?

The numbers are misleading bc day time fights usually get less views .

Had they fought at night live ,NO replay it would have doubled the numbers .

Most people arent going to watch a fight that happened already when they come home , a large viewer base is lost when they dont just do the fight live at night. The ones who watch the replay are obviously .........

HARD CORE fans !:smileysex

The numbers aren't misleading at all. Nobody cares here about him here. They know that Joshua is a big stiff ass, no body punching, no jab using stiff. The Wlad fight where Wlad was old made Joshua look good mislead a lot of people thinking that he has skill.

Now all of these skills that yall claimed that Joshua has over Wilder-where are they? He's not a body puncher, he can't throw the right hand, and if you take away his left hook and right uppercut on the inside, he has almost less that's ordinary skills. He becomes a keep you at bay jab using clincher.

Where are his skills? I haven't seen any in the last two fights. He is winning on size alone. That's why they're scared of Wilder Joshua **** blower.
