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

[stellen]

If im paying ppv/ watching a stream, i want this fight at 10-11pm. Fck the USA market. AJ is king now so the UK market should be satisfied first, then the US can pick up the scraps.

It’s about advantage too ... home crowd , home venue . Obviously money comes into it but a big crowd behind you would help

Floyd was given a free roll to do what he wanted in Vegas . I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he was on a lance Armstrong trip . His skills were far beyond everyone but his energy levels were something else to the last bell

I get that, but that's why there's a give/take.

Miguel Cotto and Saul Alvarez were set to fight; no idea what the overall split was supposed to be, but the talks between the camps came down to location and MSG was the high bidder.

Saul Alvarez didn't want to fight in New York, so rather than go for the high bidder, the fight was instead moved to MGM Resorts, with Cotto getting what he was due to get in NYC as his share on the site fee in Las Vegas (which basically ended up being the full site fee).

Alvarez got the location he wanted, but it came at a clear cost.

Deontay Wilder has already made it clear that he has no problem traveling; he simply thought that the money offered to travel was short, so he and his camp made a better offer.

If Joshua truly doesn't want to travel, make the offer worth travel; Joshua getting less is the cost of picking the location.

he better start buliding alot quicker than he is at the moment.....2.1 million his highest purse , never headlined a ppv event and has never sold out a 12k arena and defended his title 6 times now so get the f@ck out of here with yiur wilder is buliding waffle.
Joshua sold 250k fight tickets in his last 3 fights , makes £15 million a fight , has 4 belts , sells over 1.5 buys on sky box office and has boxed better opposition in half the fights wilder has had.
Wilder is 32 so he better start building before he runs out of time.
i know which attrCtion i would rather be yeah you got it the uk attraction.
Wilder is not floyd or de la hoya so wise up son

Wilder put something like 14,000 people into Barclays Center for the Ortiz fight, and had a great performance. While also being a strong draw for Showtime/CBS.

Wilder is a heavyweight, with all of 40 amateur fights of wear before turning pro, sitting in the largest sporting market on the planet. Wilder easily has into his late 30s to still be prime, so you're talking about 20-25 fights.

Anthony Joshua has already seen as good as things can get for him in the UK.

"It gets to the stage where we are asking ‘Why are we looking to do this in the US?’ Because it’s more money – but is that really important?"

what on earth are you talking about another 20 or 25 fights.
He has no chance of doing that many fights before he gets koed or loses and certainly will not get bigger if he reverts back to the breazeals and the washingtons of this world.
How exactly is he going to become a household name and a ppv star without Joshua ?
He has to face joshua to become more well known and he faces joshua in the uk because he is the B-side and joshua is the A-side, and when he does face joshua in the uk he gets knocked out so thats the end of daydreaming fairytale.
Your under this illusion that boxing matters to the US paying public now and wilder somehow become the second coming of mike tyson.
Wilder has no options of becoming a ppv star without joshua its that simple.
Your as crazy as bat **** and i am sure yiu have a screw loose because simply make it up as you go along lol
Btw both wilder and joshua have a low amateur record just so you know nutter

Yep and thats all the options they have when joshua is the nain draw.
Joshua will not get shafted stateside over the sake of a higher purse and will simply say i make $21 milllion or more a fight in the uk and wilder needs me more than i need him.
Joshua will say i'm the A-side and wilder is the b-side and if you beat me then you can have the rematch in Vegas.
Wilder haz zero options of making mega bucks without joshua.
Yep your right F@ck the usa market AJ is king now.

Home field advantage will cost him $$$. Joshua is just worth way too much to risk a potential KO loss right now. They will stall until the fans turn on him, then it will happen in Vegas where the top dollars are kept. California’s gdp is worth more that UKs apparently. So that’s perspective.
