You also can't say your a great seller when you sell your dollar menu items at 25 cents.. you're a cheap thrill at best!

we sell to promote the sport and it's a win win win situation for all the parties involved. The fans, the fighters and the promoters, everybody is happy.

All am saying is don't come here to cry that Americans don't like boxing anymore, they are not buying the fights and load of crap. That's all and we are good.

if im honest i think he struggles against the top few heavyweights but his skills alone give him a real shot at not just winning but humiliating a lot of them..we dont even know how well he can take a punch or how powerful he hits. something tells me usyk has more in the tank than we have seen so far. i also dont think you're giving fury enough credit, floyd fought half his career similarly and got lauded for these type performances. granted he wasnt knocked on his ass 2 times in a fight but as i say fights should be scored round by round but considering the officiating in combat sports its hard to call any fight that doesnt end within the 12 rounds

Usyks head and lateral movement along with his crisp hard counters are a masterpiece. He did handle that large fellow fury used as a sparing partner pretty well so I have high hopes. As for fury,I know he will do better in the rematch but I also think wilder will go to the body and seal the deal this time. Will be another ****er.

These clowns are shameless and until karma sets in you can’t shame the shameless

If Wilder fought Povetkin, Parker or Takam in the UK I'm pretty sure they would be PPV. If AJ fought any of those guys in the US, no way they're on PPV. For god sakes, Brook/Gavin was on PPV in the UK. The UK standard for fighting on PPV doesn't say much.

You’re saying Wilder can make PPV money fighting guys like Takam in the UK but no US proving money is in UK, that's my point.

Bad analogy friend. Floyd landed much more. He counter-punched his opponents into submission. Compubox numbers would show that he vastly outlanded his opponent after fights.

Listen, I think Fury did enough to win, but I don't fault/begrudge those who thought that the arm punches landed by Fury were far less impactful that the aggression and shots/partial shots that Wilder landed.

its not an analogy its a comparison..and not meant as an identical one. Its hard to compare people weights apart but there are obvious resemblances in the tactically sound approach and counter attacking style of both fighters

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???!!

If promoted properly, Wilder-Joshua will easily, EASILY clear 1mm buys in the US. Heck Wilder-Fury 2 will probably do close to that if not more. US PPVs are $75 not $15 like the UK. Lot more, lot more money in the US..

Promoted properly?????!!! They had a international multi city press tour, they were going back and forth like Mayweather McGregor, They went on Joe Rogan, breakfast club and many more outlets FFS they promoted the hell out the fight. Doesn’t matter if PPV costs $1mill in the US if only 2 people buy it they only make 2 mill.. In the UK they’ll sell over 2 million PPV easy for both AJ vs Wilder and AJ vs Fury.

Aj makes more than 20 million

We have this thing called a Forbes list and it doesn’t say AJ makes $20 mil per fight don’t listen to **** Hearn says

[crystos]

deontay wilder will find some way to duck this fight again. All that **** he's been talking about he wants joshua but he don tknow if joshua wants him.... he has a date AND a venue and he has admitted AJ team have reached out and are "begging"

wilder just seems like a guy who likes his ego stroked and likes attention. if he don't sign for April then it's a clear duck and he needs to be asked about his hypocrisy
