Comments Thread For: Wilder: Deal To Fight Fury is Closer Than Joshua Deal Ever Was

[kafkod]

no idea who is the worst

none are that bad really

Joshua is the only one with a REAL fanbase anyway

real numbers I mean

AJ's fanbase cram 90,000 seat football stadiums to capacity and and buy millions of PPVs for his fight.

Wilder's fanbase talks shit about AJ on the internet.

That's the difference, in a nutshell.

... then it will be about the gate money in the U.S. and the PPV money in the U.K... (therefore you assume that Wilder can't draw any local PPV money, right?... then where those $100 million were supposed to come from???)

It would pull several hundred thousands buys in the US (educated guess). Not the $100 million+ for Joshua they were expecting, but it could generate a pot of about $15 - $20 million for the fighters with the live gate and PPV sales. UK PPV sales could push that number to $20 - $25 million total.

I think that people shouldn't doubt this happening because both camps need more bargaining power at the table with Joshua and Hearn. How?

Joshua' s biggest fight pot was $40 million in his fight against Vladimir. (Both earned $20 million or so.) So if Fury and Wilder could pull this off, both have a PPV argument to stand on, and the likely outcome is:

1. Wilder proves his US demand (If the buys are there) and would actually be able to argue that he deserves 50/50 in the UK or that the fight should be in the US if they actually made this type of money with Fury.

2. Fury would certainly get 50/50 with AJ for a UK fight (which we know Warren will care about).

So in my view, both camps actually need each other, to prevent having zero negotiating power with AJ and Hearn. If they fail, then they lose nothing in those negotiations anyway.

I'm just entertaining all of this lol obviously idk what's going on, but I get the logic if it happens.

The money is there already .. that lying snake Eddie Hearn confirmed it.

... I see.........................

like I said weeks back.....

it is clearly obvious why Joshua/Wilder did not happen

and really, who cares..... that fight is not even due yet

about 10 months ago, Joshua was fresh off his win over Klitschko, preparing for Takam ..... he had about 19 fights under his belt and Wilder had likely never mentioned him before that

they would be nuts to make that fight now, the guy sells 90k tickets at Wembley

and, surprise surprise..... the fight never got made lol

that fight will happen, no doubt about it

two things.....

the guys who ridiculed Wilder and called him a coward for the last few years..... were obviously wrong, which was pretty dumb really..... he stepped up when he signed to fight Povetkin, who was top 4 at least at that point in time..... and he clearly bent over backwards to make the AJ fight

those guys have been proven wrong..... just like the guys who are calling Joshua a coward will be proven wrong

that really is a silly word to throw around when talking about this sport

this is just about timing..... and really, who cares

but yea, AJ fans have to shhhh now..... because Wilder CLEARLY wants that fight now, and AJ does not

that fight will be huge when it happens..... the only downside is Hearns bullshht in the meantime

cool guy, excellent promoter..... but forked tongue, just like the rest

AJ/DW fans are nuts if they rip each other to pieces over this

The difference between the fanbases is Joshua's defends a couple of snakes and all this has been brought to light by the guy in your avatar. And when Wilder is the lineal heavyweight champion that is what wer're talking about, then Joshua's stranglehold on the division will be diminished. It's a great day for boxing!

What are the fan's reaction to the news of Tyson vs Wilder across the pond? Are they exciting about the fight?

THAT, and Wilder's right hand

they would be nuts to make that fight now, but I sure as hell will not be listening to any of Fast Eddie's excuses why not lol

[Azzie]
