HEARN KNOWS THE PRESSURE. wilder vs Ortiz had the 14,000 who attended outta their seats while the 80k who went to Joshua vs parker were bored outta their minds. all that talking hearn does but his fans aint lit like over here. usa where the money is and broner and jarrett hurd getting more viewership for their fights than Joshua LMFAO. I hope hearn and aj keep lowballing wilder because at the end of the day, wilder vs anybody is worth watching because wilder fights are ALWAYS exciting. meanwhile Joshua vs povetkin will be have a worse buildup than Joshua parker and no one in the usa will care for it. a boring stiff robot with no personality and a Russian who cant speak a lick of English. uk can keep that **** in the uk

[The Big Dunn]

Yep. Called it.

showtime should cut ties with him doe.

The antics will get worse from here. The guy is making M's without a signature win on his resume.

Huh?? dude is 25-0 below 130 and 8-3-1 above 130. He may not have a "signature" win but that is just BS some NSB posters have come up with. He has a solid resume and has fought tough and brave in his losses.

He draws fans at the gate and on TV, that is why he makes the paydays he does.

He doesn't. This card went up against a lot of other things that night. UFC and NBA playoffs were all on at the same time.

That thick huh? Look up what was going on during Wilder's last fight.

Here, I'll save you a bit:

(1) UFC PPV (Dana was caught watching Wilder on stream at the event)
(2) MSG card w/ Kovalev

There were other events too buddy lol
