Lol hes even trying to pay him to fight someone else
not the first time!
remember when he was desperately trying to sell AJs bodyguard, dillian whyte, as an opponent? and wilder said "ok if you guarantee me AJ next after that"...and hearn still said "thats not how it works"???
Again people using each team to pick a side. Isn’t that guy Wilder co-manager? His words are no different to Hearn. If both teams want it then that fight would have been signed by now.
It should be clear to any rational person which side tried harder to make the fight.
And the thing that is funniest about this is that AJ has been left kind of exposed here for what he is: a carefully managed talent without any real star power outside of his own country.
It's one thing to sell 1.5M buys at $25 each in your own country; quite another to sell 1.3M buys at $80 each in a foreign country.
It's one thing to fill a football stadium and make 8M at the gate; quite another to sell 17K tickets in Vegas yet have a gate of almost three and a half times as much at 27M.
That is the difference between a local star like Joshua, and an international star like Canelo.
Hindsight is 20/20, but let me look into my tea leaves and predict something here and now...Hearn and AJ will regret not making this fight when they had the chance. And even if they do make it down the road, it is going to mean less money than they would have got had they taken any of the offers bandied about these past few months.
How many PPVs has AJ sold that were not priced at 20 pounds?
How many seats has he sold in the US, the only place he can ever become a $100M fighter?
Let me tell you something else.
If AJ struggles with Povetkin while Wilder cold****s his next (probably Breazeale) it's a 50/50 fight anywhere.
Lol, Wilder has sold zero pay per views period. If you believe that knocking out one of AJ's leftovers will do anything for Wilder's value you are crazy. Wilder is truly delusional and this is a clear duck.
