    AJ is a massive star in the U.S.

    and it's all about making good business and making the most money.

    so why was it necessary to have the wilder fight in U.S.

    with the massive star that AJ is in America the fight would generate way more with live gate and ppv in the U.S. than in the U.K..

    so what was the problem having the fight in the UK.

    The problem is Showtime won’t allow Wilder to fight Joshua in the UK and since Joshua is the Aside by a landslide their is no way he should fight Joshua in the US and on Showtime! The basic problem is whoever conceded to the other guys terms will take a huge monetary L because the network and promoter have to get paid enough to allow this to go to another network! It’s a fawked up sit.

      so you think the fight may never happen because of this?

        Fury or Whyte take the WBC from Wilder soon enough.

          It has nothing to do with Showtime. If it were a restriction Wilder would’ve been advised to have never made demands for the UK.

          Wilder asked for 7 million against Whyte. Hearn said 7 million wasn’t realistic, yet a UK event would easily compensate that purse. Second, Wilder wanted the Joshua fight in contract guaranteed should he fight Whyte. Hearn refused.

          The ship sailed. Besides, Wilder Fury 2 will make more noise than the Miller fight. You still have industry controlling the standards of boxing. It’s hard to convince industry writers that aside from gate sales that Miller is anywhere near the level of Fury or Wilder.

            that wouldn't have been klits? with today's HW landscape they may remain the biggest victory of his career. I mean his complete career

              AJ was all over the place

              said it had to be in UK for the fans...but proceeded to tell us "the fans dont dictate my career" and even told his fans to train to fight wilder themselves if they though it was so easy

              wilder was willing to go to UK if they promised it in 2018...asked them to send a contract..what do they do? send one with no date...wilder asks when "oh its in april 2019"....thats right up there with his latest schtick where he says he made a great offer to wilder when wilder told him not to bother because he was pursuing his unfinished business with fury first...lol

                Fury will beat Wilder again so Joshua-Fury becomes the fight. That should be easier to make.

                    Please
                    Show proof that he is this massive star you are claiming because as you know casuals run the sport and not one of the casual fans I asked know who he is. I could be wrong but I need some proof Lopez
                    Nevermind I just read he sold out MSG in record time my bad
                    Ok wilder let’s get it done man he did something you can’t do
