Inside look into AJ vs Wilder 2 fight deal

[El Ondeado]

From my observations & conclusion of Eddie Hearn.


*1st fight

- UK Sky Sports PPV but free on USA Showtime

- Fight in the UK most likely Wembley Stadium

- 75-25 split in favor of Joshua

- UK ref & Eastern European judges

* 2nd fight

- UK Sky Sports PPV & USA Showtime PPV

- Fight in New York City most likely Barclays Arena

- 60-40 split in favor of Joshua

- American Ref & Latin American judges





Seems like a fair 2 fight deal to me.

I'll take Las Vegas over NYC for the 2nd fight should a 2nd fight be deemed necessary. UK dudes love Vegas more than NYC. And if the first fight is getting peoples attention one of the peoples attention they should get is the Vegas casinos which will make them an offer they can't refuse.

Plus taxes are higher in NY so I think thats a negative for the fighters too.

1st fight Wembley
60/40 for Joshua & no TV money or gate for Wilder

2nd fight
Cowboys Stadium Dallas
(Pretty sure that’s what AJ wants)
60/40 for AJ but Wilder gets 35% of the gate plus PPV money
That’s my guess but I’m from Arkansas, Alabama’s neighbor & sworn NCAA football rival and I’ve heard from a good source that Wilder is a free agent after their 2nd fight & will probably have another fight in the U.K. regardless of win, wins, or loss, losses.
There is no animosity against AJ from Wilder, he’s actually a big Joshua fan.
Hearn & his mouth are the problem.
Hearn thinks he’s going to take over the USA & it’s simply not going to happen.
Although, I would love nothing more than to see Hearn have great success over here as it will do some much needed good for the sport.

Or since AJ wants to fight in a stadium in the USA. How about fighting at the Yankee Stadium. Like Joe Louis did.

Idk why Joshua wants to fight in a stadium in the US. The money is in a casino. Revenue is what matters not asses in seats.

If they push the rematch out a lil bit, 2020, they could open the 65k seat Las Vegas Stadium thats being built as we speak. Not sure the exact ETA on it I only know it'll be open by Aug. 2020 for the football season, but I suspect it'll be done before than so maybe Oct/Nov 2018 for the first fight & then Mar/Apr. 2020 for the 2nd fight ~16 months apart. Thats not TOO wide a distance between fights.

Wilder is a free agent after their 2nd fight

Wilder is a free agent now as I understand it. DiBella & him just appear to have some sorta handshake deal like most PBC guys & the PBC friendly promoters.

A third Fight stipulation ( if both win ) should be held on top of the Burj Khalifa sky sc****r in Dubai where only the fighters and cornerman with the promoters ,announcers and t,v crew are allowed . It will be shown on huge telecasts in multiple stadiums across the globe .

The winner gets to parachute down and hoist his belts .

The loser has to walk down the stair case and be video taped .

It sounds fair enough. What if the first fight is a one sided slaughter and a KO ending in a round or two or three? Would a rematch still happen?
