Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder Won't Be at MSG Because He Doesn't Want Joshua

[daggum]

Get the fuck outta here! Who is crawling and begging for a fight now? It's certainly not Deontay Wilder. You see; Eddie Hearn needs Deontay Wilder a lot more than he thought. Eddie is desperate because his two year window at DAZN is closing. Wilder is known and beloved the whole world over. That's why all of his boxing videos go viral. Eddie wants to use Deontay as a prop for DAZN but Wilder and Showtime are not having that shit!

yes thats great fan fiction. wilder is beloved everywhere except where he fights lmao. can't seem to find anyone to go to them or watch them! ohhh maybe they are all staying on youtube and waiting for him to go viral!

Numbers don't lie. They just did a recent ESPN poll stating that Wilder was the most famous and recognizable face in boxing. In addition, he was the 34th most famous athlete in the world. While Joshua was only the 63rd most famous athlete in the world.

The reason why you can't find anyone to go to them or watch them is because of fans like yourself who watches his fights online for free.

its too bad he can't turn that fame into fans. you are right numbers don't lie. his numbers suck but im sure he will go to the negotiating table with "espn says im more popular:. thats a great bargaining chip. "ignore my numbers look at this espn poll!" thats actually quite stunning that so many people know him but don't tune in or go to his fights. it means they know him but just aren't interested.

people pay to watch joshua so that can't be it. remember the numbers don't lie thing you just said? or do we throw that out the window when it doenst suit you? people watch crap they dont really want for free. just like they watch crappy viral videos that are also free. people pay for stuff they really like/want. get it? also tons of people watch joshua online except the difference is they pay to see him because he is with the new trend which is the gig economy/apps/streaming etc... wilder is living in the past thinking about ppvs and cable channels. just bad decision making all around from the big oaf

You know that they don't carry DAZN in the U.K. So that is going to marginalize and narrow a large portion of DAZN's viewing audience. Chances are there will be less than 80,000 people watching the fight here in the states alone.

You certainly got that bit right. Wilders ducking.

Wilder and co are pulling the “big game hunting” and it’s working!

People forget that Wilder was offered a flat fee for the heavyweight undisputed championship titles between two undefeated fighters and now look where’s at!

People called Wilder an idiot and a fool for turning that down!

If AJ doesn’t impress this weekend or gets rocked by Ruiz it looks bad then Edwards will change his tune!

You don't pay to watch Anthony Joshua fight or any other boxing fan pays to watch Anthony Joshua fight. The people who pays to watch Anthony Joshua fight are his fans; Not necessarily boxing fans but casual fans who DKSAB. Also, currently Anthony Joshua is signed with Sky Sports. He is not signed with DAZN. He only fights there on a fight by fight basis. Dumbass!

and that number came directly from your azz or what? canelo just did 1.2 million with around 800k coming from the US. that seems like a pretty big drop off even factoring in joshua is not on canelos level. so what you are saying is that joshua has the dazn viewers and the sky sports viewers. wow thats a lot of money and viewers for him. wilder take note!
