    Doesn't matter if it's only in the UK, Wilder isn't a big fight anywhere in the world. And he'll never be.

      As if this won't be AJ's biggest payday for a while as well. Tell me who else at heavyweight is a marketable B side. I'll wait. Daniel Dubois isn't gonna be ready for a while.
      How did you work it out for it to be the biggest payday for Joshua?

      If Wilder is looking for a big slice of the pie, then that cuts into how much AJ actually gets.

        Its only logical Joshua's numbers trend up. why would they trend down? All Wlad was, was a name. Wlad is a gentleman which is fine, but I guarantee Wilder will promote better than Klitschko did. This fight will have actually have implications between two english speaking prime HW's which is rare.

        Also every source I've read has said his guaranteed was 13 million euros against Parker which is the same as Wlad where he took a 55/45 split. He took something like a 70-30 split for Parker. This ain't selling less than Parker, and if you add probably another 150-200k(But likely more) from United States PPV the money obviously goes even beyond those two fights.

            You think AJ's numbers continue to grow by the PPV? Actually, they don't. Wladimir is still the biggest selling PPV for Joshua.

              I meant outside of a Joshua fight.

              Wilder isn't a star and never will be. The interest in this fight is pretty much all down to Joshua. If Joshua wasn't around, Wilder's career would go by without anyone giving a single **** about him.

                They won't grow if he's fighting the Takam's of the world. Even still he sold 800K UK ppvs there. He sold around 1.5 against Wlad. Yeah 1.5 isn't an unbeatable number with a prime heavyweight in Wilder that knows how to talk himself up.

                  Show me why you think that and I'll show you why you are wrong.

                    The Wilder fight isn't going to do more than 1.5 million PPV's. I think 1 million max.

                    You're massively overstating Wilder here. Trust me. He's not even close to being a star in the UK.

                      Hearn said so on IFL.

                      He rubbished a few other things as well.
