Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Wants Wilder - But He Wants The Fight in The UK

[Patsfan bri]

Wilder cant make significantly over 2 Million without Joshua . He averages 1.4 a fight .

He didnt pass up 12.5 Million , he passed up over 30 Million if he THINKS he can win.

Joshua can generate 40 Million in TWO fights so realistically its not about Joshua running away from more money its Wilder .


Joshua never changed his stance on the fight not taking place in the U.K . Hes maintained that from day one , he never said he would go to the states that was Hearn but hes not the boss ... Joshua is period .


What you guys fail to realise is Wilder himself is taking a pay cut bc paying Joshua 50 Million probably gets Wilder 10 Million tops bc this isnt the mega fight of 100 Million ppl are exaggerating it to be .....it doesnt do more than 60 Million if lucky .


The differance is Joshua IS the draw ,he has a right to take a paycut bc he actually makes BIG money and hes the A side . Wilder hss no business trying to dictate things when hes not even earned 3 Million in a fight in several title defences .

This shows they BOTH want home field advantage .


The way to fix this is set up a rematch claus win or lose for Wilder in Vegas .


Simple .

now now my friend, it was AJ who publicly stated give me 50 million and I will sign for the fight . That’s it. He didn’t ask for anything else when that statement was posted on this website 3 weeks ago.

You say wilder walked away from 30 million, how do you figure ? He was offered a flat fee of 12.5 .

I understand you want to spin this a little and I am not saying AJ is scared but he doesn’t want the fight right now .

actually I didn’t . I know boksfan, Robbie Barret, and Jimmy gold are just a waste of time . Guys who just talk crap, make no sense and then post emoji at the end of their post like they are all proud of themselves, so I never respond to them or their post anymore.

we can add him to the list then. Imagine if wilder was the one turning down 50 million and asking where will the fight be held, what channel it will be on . People on this board would be asking for his execution. Hell when he turned down the flat fee of 12.5 ( cause he knew he could make more ) all the brits did was insult him and call him names but it is ok for AJ to turn down 50 million cause he is the A side ?? They can all get the **** out of here.

even fat dan rafael confirmed the 12.5 was a joke...and dan has never been known to just side with an american....he always spoke highly of pac and was even bragging about how pac let him rewatch the cotto fight the next day in his hotel room with him....but then wrote an article blaming arum for not getting pac/floyd done

hearn is just a posturing...anyone can see it.....joshua went out there and made his video...and put it out there...wilder and company played him...they got him the money.....then when they did they realized "oh **** now we would have to fight in the US and not in our home"....so now they are scrambling to come up with the money its going to take to now get wilder in the UK.....the price for wilder in the UK just went up after wilder got AJ his money

Really? You think selective and allegedly inaccurate leaking of confidential proposals by one party is correct?

Let's agree to disagree on that one.

We can agree to disagree. But lets keep the facts straight. There was no leaking of anything. Wilders camp publicized negotiations in response to Hearn lying about what was going on. Please tell me what was inaccurate about what was publicized.

well said and I couldn’t agree more.

Joshua has more fans so it's only right that being the A-Side the fight should be in the UK.

Again who is arguing that AJ is a draw in America? Lol this is actually quite funny

There has been multiple posters on here arguing that Wilder is a nobody in America, U.S. ratings don't support that view. The original quote you responded to, was another persons response directed at Robbie Barrett

Chump change? Are you serious? Who's the biggest draw? You need a Brit to make your HW relevant. You also need a Brit to takeover US boxing. Brits showing you how it's done.

Biggest draw in England. His US numbers are awful. Khan vs Algeri doubled Joshua on SpikeTV, which half of Americans don’t even get.

So you see? You have a person claiming that AJ is needed to make Heavyweight boxing in America, which is not true at all because Wilder is the most popular American Heavyweight in probably the last 20 years. AJ couldn't possibly revive American Heavyweight division because his ratings are terrible in America, and obviously, he's not American. So yes, you have people on here claiming that AJ would be a draw in America, and Wilder is not, when the raw numbers prove otherwise.

Still find this funny?
