Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua is Fighting in The UK, The Ball in Wilder's Court

[sportbuddha]

Your right! The name of the boxing game today seems to be to maximize revenue while minimizing risks. That doesn't sit to well with the die hard boxing fan side of me but the business man in me understands.

I can't say I like it much either, but AJ certainly didn't invent it. Seems to me Hearn has been waiting all his life for this kid, he's not going to throw him to any lions without lots of insurance. One things I'm sure about, we'll only see him fight Wilder once. He'll get one shot and then the door will close shut, cos Hearn won't risk it twice.

Oops, I thought the Alamo Dome was a stadium.

Lol, I guess it could be maybe. Good points tho in the op

Sounds more and more like Wilder fans are the ones who don't want to risk their guy vs Joshua. All they need to really be concerned about is the rematch clause in the contract. Then fight #2 would be in the U.S. But the man Joshua says England for fight #1. So either it will be England, or Wilder can drop to CW and make even less cashish.

why do non dw fans quickly forget about the ''show me 50 mil and ill sign tomorrow'' comment ?!?!?
even worse, make it out as if aj was ''j/k'' !!!!!
who in the fnck jokes about turning down 50 mil that was demanded ?!?!?!?
aj gave up his 4 belt advantage when he dared dw to come up with 50 mil.
something tells me dw is going to give in and fight aj in england......and aj fans aint going like how it ends.

You haveta admit, it will be a much bigger event in England than here in the States. And Joshua will likely get what he wants on this. As to who wins? Whoever lands the first bomb. And Joshua is a more complete fighter than Wilder. So we'll just haveta see what we will see. Here's to a great fight.

i agree with all of the above (mostly the b/u). i just want to remind those who throw blame ar dw. lots of posturing happens in big fights. ''im the a side''. ''no, IM the a side''

zzzzzzzzzzz...............

but dw did come through and i want to remind dw bashers of this fact. im going with dw for 2 reasons; hes a wild man (understatement) and he has faster hands. so he who lands the 1st bomb will most likely be dw, imho.

Tiring... Really tiring

The most important piece of information you failed to present was what was Klitchko paid? I bet it wasn't $12.5 million or a 65/35 split. C'mon now, Wilder is much more dangerous than Klitchko was.

With all due respect as crazy as this may sound fighters are not paid according to how dangerous they are. Irrespective of how much they are adored by their fans. Luis Ortiz is dangerous how much do you think he gets paid? It’s not even necessarily about belts because if you compare Canelo and GGG who was the A side. One fight can define a fighter. Look at Fury he dethroned Klitscho and he is able to still be relevant 3 years later having not fought once. Joshua defeated Klitschko also although he doesn’t get as much kudos as Fury and so he shouldn’t but it was a memorable fight and catapulted him to stardom or at least recognition outside England. Now unfortunately for wilder....... i’ll Let you finish

Klitchko was every bit important as Joshua was in their fight . He was a global figure who had ruled the division and WAS considered the best without question for a certain time period . He is worth Millions and thats bc he was a cash cow himself .

At NO point was Wilder ever considered the lone guy to beat bc Klitchko and Fury were always there and now Joshua IS considered the number one HW .

Wilder has never even had one ppv so to make any argument he deserves this and that is comical bc he doesnt generate much ..... Ortiz made like 500,000 i think and thats for the WBC HW belt . lol


Klitchko was paid equal to Joshua bc Joshua wasnt even in the position he is now , Wilder is literately laughable next to Joshua in comparing who generates what .


Wilder more dangerous than Klitchko ? Based on what ?

Not only is Wilder going to be fighting a more seasoned Joshua then Wlad did but Wilder himself relies on significant length advantage that he wont have against a better skilled power puncher !

I beg to differ I think it is in Wilder’s best interest ,as was shown by the 50 million offer . Wilders best chance of beating Joshua is to windmill him out of there. A boxer is always favoured against a puncher. Joshua can also **** he has an array of punches both left and right hand that can dismantle Wilder. I’m under no illusion that Wilder hits hard enough to put Joshua to sleep but if Joshua is smart he should win pretty convincingly and at least have the added comfort of Knowing that if he is caught slipping, in the rematch he can put that wrong, right. Wilder is not the fighter that dominates rounds and has you doubting yourself. Just. Ask Luis Ortiz. Exhaustion lost him that fight. Poor old man

We Americans know how you rowdy drunken British fools like to fight - ten guys against one. By the way in America we play real football and not sissy soccer.

Real football😂😂😂..... you have grown arse muscular men in Lycra leggings , shoulder pads so they look similar to the legion of doom( wrestlers) coupled with a matching BMX helmet with no bicycle in sight. Rugby at least is more masculine even though I hate both sports. The audacity a sport that the entire world recognises as football, the Americans couldn’t thing of another name to name the sport so guess what we will call it football and so we don’t confuse our public we will name football soccer just to be ******. 😜😜

[Froch_uppercut]

Last time someone spoke like that to Americans they got their Red Coat butts kicked back to England.

Well sir, if you get your wish and this fight happens in Vegas, you will witness a British invasion.

I hope every one of the thousands who travel to it wear British Redcoats.

As an aside, you do understand that your rebel colonists were essentially ex-pat Brits right? Brits versus Brits basically.

You're alright for the most part, you yanks, but man you are so fuc***ing sure that the world wants to be like you. You need to get out more, cos that just isn't true.

Enjoy the World Cup this month. That would be the championship that the whole World competes for and watches.

Now, explain to me how the Eagles are WORLD champions again?
