Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua-Wilder Does Over 1 Million PPV Buys in America

[Bronx2245]

The only people who believe the $50 mil offer wasn't legit are the extreme AJ fanboys. To believe that offer didn't exist you'd have to believe Wilder, Finkell, Warren, Espinoza, DiBella, & Whyte are all lying and Hearn is the only one tellin the truth

Can't blame them for being fan boys! Even Bob Arum doesn't believe Al Haymon exists! Lol!

Lol. Nope, this fight would end up on showtime PPV in america. This is why Wilder didn't sign the agreed 15m offer to fight in the UK.

DAZN would pay a fortune for it. I don't think there is any chance of it being on ST.

Hearn is talking hypothetically about PPV sales. How many it would sell if it was PPV.

Wilder couldn't have robbed Fury when he was the Champion when they fought and put him down twice with the second knockdown almost killing him. You can't win the belt by almost being killed by the champ holding it. These comments make you guys sound like idiots.

No chance it would end up on Showtime? If Wilder beats Fury, there is no chance the fight against Joshua doesn't end up on Showtime.

So when Hearn says this fight does a million buys, he's referring to the fight taking place in America right? If so, then yeah, definitely on SHO PPV. Now, if it takes place in the UK? I could see DAZN showing the live broadcast and SHO getting the replay. Or maybe both showing it at the same time? I don't know, but more possibilities of it being shown on both networks if it is in the UK. But yeah, good luck having this fight on DAZN if it takes place in the states.

But I talked about this a while back about how Hearn having stake in multiple countries makes this so fascinating. Usually, he would dictate the fight being on Sky Box Office and then he would let the promoter of the other fighter decide where it takes place stateside. But he has DAZN stateside as well as Sky in the UK. Unrealistic to believe he will be able to dictate on BOTH sides of the pond what network shows the fight.

Fury only landed about 10 more punches than wilder and wilder never touched the canvas and put fury down twice. Second knockdown almost killing him. You cannot win a belt being floored by the champ twice and only outlanding him by 10 pitty pat punches! Omg

That's not how the vast majority of fans see it. They see it as between Joshua and Fury. Wilder is a step below.

AJ has the belts because he brought in the money and nothing else. He beat 2 title holders that were just that, belt holders who were fortunate enough to win vacant belts. Martin and Parker aren't no top HWs and its been shown. They chose to fight AJ instead of Wilder for the money, nothing wrong with that. AJ did beat an old inactive Wlad who was coming off a loss. AJs resume looks good because of the names, but lets not act like any are world class HWs. The whole HW division is crap besides Wilder,Fury and AJ.

Here's my opinion on this, whatever ST and Haymon were willing to pay to get control of sceening the fight, DAZN would pay more. If Haymon said it had to be on ST or it isn't happening, it isn't happening.

I think Hearn is talking hypothetically about PPVs in order to illustrate how big the fight would be.

Canelo's DAZN purses are matching his highest PPVs, which are also around a million buys mark. If DAZN would do that for Canelo, they would do it for an undisputed HW title fight.

If that was AJ knocking down Fury the way Wilder did and if the fight was in the UK, the ref would have stopped it. Refs in the UK and for that matter on DAZN have been stopping fights early.

I don't think Wilder is good enough to be included with Fury and AJ. I think a 100% fight fit Fury outboxes him easily, and AJ KO's him inside 5 rounds. We'll soon see if I'm right about that.
