Comments Thread For: Joshua, Hearn Stand Firm: Wilder Fight Must Be in The UK

[Biolink]

wilder just needs to wait it out a bit....he doesnt even have to agree to go to the UK...he can just wait it out and soon the public pressure will mount...rafael and others will write articles about how the fight should be in vegas and how AJ is the one holding it up.....wilder just needs to be patient and AJ will get pressured into coming to the states for the fight

Its silly as phuck that we have to pressure someone into taking 50 million. Lol you know how bad that's gonna sound to the average joe?

It would be foolish for AJ and team to fight anywhere but England for fight #1. 1/10th the crowd in the States, less money, less interest. It will be a mammoth event in England. Here? Not that much.

You are wrong about the less money part.

It has already been established that there is MORE money to do this fight in the U.S. Even Eddie Hearn admits as much.

This **** is suspect as hell. Either AJ is scared and ducking or they plan to have a nice home cooked ref and judges ready for Wilder.

AJ said give him 50 mil....
Hearn said we have to confirm it.....
Hearn confirmed that it's legitimate and the money is there.

NOW BRITS

Doesn’t matter if it’s $100m,
If AJ fights anyone he makes $15m, Wilders gets $2-3m fighting anyone else but AJ. So, put simply, if wilder wants to earn money he comes to the UK, he don’t want it, fine, pick your next bum to fight.

Why do you guys keep putting obstacles? you want whyte, you want miller.....AJ said 50 mil, now we get excuses. somebody doesnt want this fight maybe hearn wants some more experience for his fighter, brits arent used to promoters jargon or they are easily fooled, but HEARN has been putting up road blocks.

Man this leaves a lot of AJ fanboys with egg on their face. Talked all that crap about the money bein in the UK and how Wilder's offer was BS. Even clowning Wilder when AJ made the "give me 50 mil" video. Now that they have found out the 50 mil is legit I'm not surprised to see them try to change their tune instead of just manning up and admitting they were wrong. Props to those like Lacedup who kept it real

A certain extremely vocal fanatic has seemingly gone into witness protection on the topic over the last few weeks...

Mayweather and pacquaio are the two greatest fighters in out generation and that's why the gate was a world record.
Wilder and joshua are 10% of the drawing power of thse two in he usa.
Even though between boxing fans its a really big fight....to joe smith in the usa they are hardly known.
Thats a fact

Sooooooooo good business requires a multitude of factors like I said, huh?

You and most of Joshua's fans are arguing that the fight should be in Europe because it'll sell more, when that is not Joshua's argument for wanting the fight at home. You guys went straight past the article to explain a point that no one is making, and completely ignore that Joshua said that he would sign a $50M contract immediately. He's backtracking and moving goalposts, and you should be honest enough to admit that. You can be a fan and be disappointed at the same time.

?? How does this UK take any tax from Wilder? Wilder would only pay tax where he’s from, the US

You pay taxes where the money is earned, and then settle up at home.

It's the very reason why Manny Pacquiao is facing what he's facing now.

Nup, just not emotional about it, I reckon they’ll fight one day, balls in AJs court when, I trust the team to put good shows on regardless. No more than that really. I don’t have anything against Wilder even, he’s in this position cos he fought bums for too long, his own fault and now he doesn’t have control to negotiate.

In reality AJ could box for 3 years fighting mando’s because that’d be 2-3 fights a year anyway, it’d make a mockery of the WBC if he did that.

It’d all be done through company structures, I’m pretty sure they’d pay him in USD in his own country, they’d be mad to be paying him like an employeee
