    Naz was an A-side. Why didn't he insist on home advantage for his biggest fights? Because there was way more money fighting in the US.

    Never in the history of boxing has someone taken 15 million less to fight at home. Anybody who achieves the status required to go make the big money in the US has gone and done it.

    Everybody except AJ. A fighter who admits he is terrified of losing. So terrified that he's willing to essentially spend 15 million dollars to get a hometown ref.

      How is that any different than a Haymon fighter filing a smaller "guarantee" and making more from ticket sales and international rights?

      Wilder's last fight sold way more tickets at way higher ticket prices than Cotto's retirement fight.

        Hearn has publicly admitted multiple times that Wilder agreed to fight in the UK with no rematch clause if he lost.

            Naz fought in both the UK and the US. He had big fights in both countries. Just because Brits have always travelled throughout history does not mean Joshua has to do it against Wilder.

            What is so bad about saying losing scares him? Would you prefer fighters to lie and be nothing but full of hot air? All fighters fear losing, it's natural.

            The BBBofC sorts out the refs, not Hearn. So they will choose. Don't see you have a problem when Americans constantly have home-town refs. But of course you're biased as hell.

              Fighters get a cut of international rights and ticket sales, it's included in the money they get.

              You do like to dodge question don't you? How much did Cotto get in his last fight considering you think you know?

                Haha, Even though Wilder has been crying about him not getting one?

                I thought Hearn was a liar who shouldn't be trusted? Now you want to take what he says when it suits your argument? The hypocrisy from you is beyond crazy. It really is.

                  What was it you said about stalking?

                  You can't seem to stay away.

                  I've definitely angered you. It's clear by the way you behave ever since I knew you were Scottish. Haha.

                      Joshua can do whatever he wants. You are the one that made the false claim that A-sides always want hometown advantage. That's not true. A-sides always want the biggest money. They always come to the US to make the biggest money if they're able to.

                      Then you made the crazy claim that UK & Mexican fighters had to come to the US because there wasn't a big boxing scene in the UK & Mexico.

                      You're so obsessed with defending AJ that you consistently take the craziest positions that make absolutely no sense.


                      What is so bad about saying losing scares him? Would you prefer fighters to lie and be nothing but full of hot air? All fighters fear losing, it's natural.
                      There's nothing wrong with it. He's just the first fighter in history to be so afraid of losing that he'd spend 15 million dollars to get a hometown ref.


                      Don't see you have a problem when Americans constantly have home-town refs. But of course you're biased as hell.
                      I'm not American. What's your next excuse? I'm in America because this is where you can make the most money.

                      Americans go overseas when there's more money to be made overseas. Overseas fighters come to America when there's more money to be made in America. This is how boxing has always worked.

                      If you were having an honest discussion, you'd admit that your claim was false that A-sides always insist on hometown. That's not true. A-sides that can make huge money in the US come to the US to make the huge money. Canelo, GGG, Lennox Lewis, Prince Naseem, Julio Cesar Chavez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe, etc.
