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

[juggernaut666]

Not that simple. The money for both sides is there. Haymon & J Prince don’t put out lies like Hearn Jug & you know this MAN!!!

That doesn't even make sense to what you responded too .

Who'd be a promoter, hey?

If the fight happens in U.S. it would be both Dibella and Hearn. If it happens in Europe, though it's likely it can still be both (because Haymon uses Dibella for Wilder fights), I'd say there's a higher chance of Hearn being the sole promoter.

Wilder: "I'll come to your backyard, baby!!!"

-Still hasn't fought outside of the U.S. even when offered multiple times the amount of money of his highest paycheck.

He's actually fought in Mexico, UK and Puerto Rico.

Ha, apologies for not being more clear.

I meant in the sense of "who would want to be a promoter, hey?"

what with all the endless BS and chairs flying around and whatnot.

It totally makes sense it just doesn’t fit your agenda.

What agenda? How does Joshua not been known in America have any relevance to making the fight lol. You kept throwing that out like it means anything or it’s relevant here. No one is arguing about that with you.

Massive points made in here, the highlighted part is one a lot of these posters don't understand. I would repeat my stance, if the offer is for 50m without any thing that would make or put Joshua in any legal issues with his previous clients then take the fight anywhere. No excuses about UK fans etc

This guy is deluded. NO lawyer would allow Hearn to say "I agree to the offer"? How do you think fights get made? You have to agree to an offer in order to draw up the contract and go over other points. There's been plenty of fights that have been agreed to and then fallen through. This guy doesn't want Hearn to agree to an offer but expects Team Wilder to agree to Hearn's offer?

The problem is that many of you don't seem to understand how American boxing works as it pertains to a fighter being a "draw". For instance, Thurman and Danny Garcia are considered huge draws, yet they have never fought on PPV. Wilder is considered to be a draw because of his ratings. U.S. PPV is reserved for expensive fights that networks can't afford on a lower level, and for major draws on the higher level. Simply put, based on the way U.S. numbers work AJ's numbers are pedestrian. Wlad tried like mad to break in in the U.S. but he couldn't, yet his ratings were far better than AJ's at this stage. Simply fighting in the U.S. doesn't guarantee one's popularity. AJ may fight here and be huge, he may fight here and struggle to break in like Wlad, while making respectable ratings, or he may fight here and remain with pedestrian numbers. What we know, is by American boxing standards, Wilder is a draw and AJ is not.

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

Where does he want Team Wilder to agree to Hearn offer?

you must be joking lol....2m ppv in the uk and a sell out of a 90k stadium against the prospect of him being robbed on american soil.
I saw it 1st hand when lewis was robbed by judges at MSG against holyfield.
The A side chooses where the fight takes place its that simple.

I understand, my point is would Joshua make 50m dollars if the fight happens in the U.K.? At the moment I don’t think so, so if they offer him that money I expect him to take it, just like I expected Wilder to take 12.5m dollars.

In other words, quack quack.
