Comments Thread For: Wilder 'Would Love' For Barclays Center To Host Fury Rematch

[Adamsc151]

The question is; does Fury want to fight Wider in the USA again, or does he feel it'll be like pissing in the wind? Anyone who's not specifically a Wilderette believes that Fury won that fight on points, yet the result didn't go his way - and I can only see the same happening again.
I get the feeling Fury will only take the rematch if it can be made in the UK - he's hinted as much by publicly stating it should be held at Old Trafford in Manchester. If Wilder comes to fight in the UK it will be for the highest bidder, and I think Hearn could out-bid Warren quite easily.

That’s not what I said / meant dafty

Those fighters travelled to America to make the big money

Joshua already makes big money where he is .

I know the top fighters you mentioned earn top wack in front of 17,000 . Not the point I was trying to make (badly)

HE dosent earn big money in US Terms. He earns big money in UK Terms. But not where the big boys are at...USA.

Boxing is a dangerous sport, it dosent make sense to earn less money just so more drunk, nationalistic people (English People) can come and watch you. These people can also turn on you at any time (Remember how English people reacted to when Joshua was pictured in a mosque)

AJ’s a smart guy. Come to Vegas, knock wilder out and become a legit global sporting star, he’ll have US Media and Companies behind him as he already does now with Under Armour, Dr Dre etc
And can become a legend.

If he wants to stay stuck in little england, with drunk people singing nursery rhymes, and earning less money, he can. But with Hearn involved with DAZN, only a matter of time before he comes and experiences the American Dream

I was thinking about things attendance wise. But if they’re really offering that much more in Vegas they would be idiots to turn it down.

Why are UK fans obsessed with Attendances ? I don’t understand.

20K Vegas makes more money than 90K Wembley. Dosent that tell you how irrelevant large attendances is. I think you guys do it deliberately because you think it gives you a one up on the US

Take the show on the road. Bring that fight to the UK...

I don't think Wilder would have a problem fighting in the UK, he already said location isnt the issue nor is the money. He would be loved over here like he was when he came to belfast, does he make more than what he made last week doe.

I mean he was guaranteed $4m plus PPV sales which means he wouldn't have made more than $8m. Can he get paid more than that over here? I havent done the complete maths yet.

I understand his willingness to fight at the Barclay's Center because he has a sentimental value with that partcular venue. Most of the people there have show him love. In addition, he always performs better there.

However, Wilder is in the driver's seat. So it doesn't matter how much money the promoters are offering him, the bottom line is; Therefore, if the Barclay's center is what he wants then the Barclay's center is what he is going to get.

He just wants to win. It's just that clear, cut and dried. He just wants to give the fans a crowding pleasing and fan friendly performance that ends in a decisive victory; Preferably by way of knockout.

And he definitely doesn't want to risk fighting in the UK where he doesn't benefit from home cooking on the cards.

I don't know why you British guys keep saying that because Fury had all but wrapped the fight up by the twelfth round. All he had to do was to run out the clock and play keep away and he would have become the brand new WBC champion.

Tyson was up 8-4 on one of the judges scorecard and 7-5 on another judges scorecard. Those two knockdowns by Wilder is what inevitably sealed his fate. If the twelfth round knockdown didn't happen, Fury would have won a split decision. 115-112 on one scorecard and 114-113 on the other scorecard.

So all he had to do in that final round was to last all three minutes on his feet and he would have become the new champion.

Don't get me wrong I think Wilder would fight in the UK if the money was right, but like most boxers (especially champs) he'd much prefer home advantage.
If he fights again in the UK it will be for the most amount of money offered, and I don't Fury's promoter can match Joshua's in terms of financial clout. Hearn had already offered Wilder $15million to fight AJ which was turned down as he believes a fair percentage split would offer more money. If he gets the percentage split he wants from fighting Joshua, Wilder would be looking at a $20million payday minimum, probably more.
