Comments Thread For: Hearn: Deontay Wilder Not a PPV Star; Talks With His Team Better

[KTFOKING]

Who is Hearn discussing the fight with? Haymon directly? Because according to Shelly:

Shelly Finkel told me that while Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn were in NYC last night, they were never contacted about a Joshua-Wilder fight, no talks took place. So you can read the tea leaves, here... #boxing

I was a wilder fan but not anymore. He lost against fury.

And someone needs to send you back to grade school. It's Africa, not Afrika you racist piece of $h!t!

Well neither is Joshua in the US where most of the dollars are. The fact that AJ can sell 1mm PPVs in the UK is increasingly irrelevant..

Come on Eddie. You know this fight does a million buys in the U.K.

[AdonisCreed]

I'm not going to believe what Eddie says about a potential AJ-WILDER fight until it's officially announced by both sides. And we know the percentages, the ticket information, the tour dates etc etc Otherwise I expect to see the Wilder rematch with Fury which I believe is all but set in stone.

Most the money is in US?? C’mon you don’t believe that.. Not in the heavyweight division!

The fight did over 300,000 buys generating over $20 mil.. AJ himself earns that alone! So if the money is in the US why is the UK fighter earning more than both Fury and Wilder made combined?

Lets switch the opponents.. If Wilder fought Povetkin, Parker, Takam or guys like Brezeale, would that also be on PPV and do 300,000k?

We both know if AJ fought Otriz that would be a successful PPV in the UK and AJ would have made 20+ mil.

Fury made 10mil against Wilder.. if Fury fought AJ in the UK that would break all PPV records and both guys would have earned more than 20mil each so how is mosy the money in the US???!!

not getting my hopes up man, been here before.

[uppercut510]

does this guy ever stop??????????? gee wiz, yes aj is the a side at HW but other fighters have buzz and wilder/fury was a success. Wilder fury are having a rematch that will have even more buzz and buys, let it go hearn, move on

[EasternEuroFan]

Nonsense.

He's just keeping this story going until after this weekend. If Whyte wins, that's the fight he wants and will make.
