Should Joshua force the Wilder fight?

[N/A]

Why do you think a PPV screened at prime US time from Saudi will do less than a PPV screened at prime US time in the US?

Because the media won't treat it as as big of an event.

Fight week press conference, the weigh in, fight week interviews, etc are all taking place overseas. Far fewer outlets will have reporters and photographers on the ground covering the fight. Your newspaper coverage is greatly reduced. Your television coverage is greatly reduced.

The final weeks of training camp are likely taking place overseas as well. Again, far fewer outlets will have reporters and photographers on the ground covering camp.

Just as important as any of that, the public doesn't consider an event as important if it's not taking place in the US and outlets greatly reduce coverage as well due to that perception of reduced interest. It can be a bit of a chicken & egg situation, but because historically overseas fights are never treated as major PPVs, when you put a fight overseas, the media doesn't treat it the same way.

If you treat the US as second fiddle, the US will treat the event as second fiddle. The US is used to being the center of the universe.

Some of that is legitimate (press on the ground), though you'd think the biggest fight in years might still attract some attention and get a load of reporters on the ground. After all, Bob was claiming until recently that they didn't need promotion - they just use broadcaster reach.

The rest is just ret arded. I'm not doubting it's true; I've learnt not to underestimate the ******ity and insularity of your average American. But still, it's ret arded.

If that's true, then Hearn should have no problem going to purse bid as he'll obviously win if you're right.




The confirmed facts make it very clear that it was Hearn ducking, not Wilder. I know for fans in the UK, it's difficult to get unbiased reporting about this subject. So I accept the possibility that you're unwilling to discuss the true events of the situation.

An accusation of unbiased reporting, coming from an American, a country which has a sitting president openly gagging the press - yep, that's not ironic at all.

Nobody accused anybody of unbiased reporting.

I'm not American.

I didn't vote for Trump.

Anything else?

Sorry, when I posted that I did not realize you were the forum troll. I now know. I do not talk to people being deliberately ridiculous, as it appears you are in matters regarding Wilder's ducking.
Goodbye.

Both sides have sent contracts. The difference is that when Wilder sent a contract for the 50 million Joshua asked for, Joshua ducked and refused to come to America. When Wilder said he'd sign to come to the UK, Joshua ducked and suddenly Wilder had to wait 10 months if he wanted the fight.

You do you like to lie and live in deceit and denial?
These things happened that almost everyone is aware that wilder actually sent a contract but twitter offer.
We all knew Eddie was in NY and no member if wilder agreed to meet.
We also know about 12.5m offer, 15mil offer, 100mil offer which were all declined by wilder.
The boxing world knows these things.
We also know that prior to Ruiz/AJ 2, wilder was all over the place about the undisputed, immediately AJ recaptured the titles, wilder went AWOL.
You can't deny these facts.
You are getting worse by the day.

Very true. People are not ******. They know exactly what happened. Negotiations are supposed to reach the end goal, getting fights made. But the guy is more into blame games than anything else. The fact that the fight didn't get made then there's nothing to celebrate about, but this guy is always in celebratory mood when he talks about the Wilder/Joshua case. He thought he won. Fight didn't get made and he's acting like it's party time.

I know him long ago. hez full of lies and deceit on this forum.
Sometimes ago, he was on an a gender that hez the only one that knows exactly how much earn for his fights when he was still earning 1m+.
But now that wilder is getting a decent pay, he has closed that agenda.
He claims he is an insider in WBC camp and knows their dealings.
He also claimed he has 2 persons that usually log in with his account.
If am lieing, let him come defend himself.
He has said all sort of lies on this forum.
