Wilder is the biggest risk on the planet. Why would you rush the biggest cash cow on the planet towards the biggest risk on the planet? Hearn is just doing his job.

$50 million is not enough for Hearn to find his balls?
hearn manages miller so he would have full control, its not a good look to say one minute you will fight miller in the states but with wilder it must be in the uk amongst other road blocks, its sad that aj fans defend his every decision. I understand business but as a boxing fan we wanted to see this fight next. Hearn never wanted this fight to be next, he wants to make more money before that kind of risk.... all we can do is hope its after the pedvetkin fight.
The logic with this stuff is always long game for the big fight.
So they'll take a lesser US fight with a lesser guy for lesser money that he's almost assured of winning or is a big favorite which has the benefit of getting his name out there with US fans thus building up the bigger US fight with the bigger guy for bigger money that is a more riskier fight that he may or may not win.
So I get it, but f#ck the marination era. Lets do it. Plenty of big fights out there & if this fight is THAT good we likely see a rematch or trilogy sooner as well. Or we see Fury become the big fight. Than Dubois eventually. Then some other mfer. Circle of life & circle of big fights.
Not sure if Joshua would've agreed to fight Miller in Brooklyn that was something Hearn was pushing, AJ seems petrified of leaving his comfort zone where he won his gold medal and two vacant belts

Oh yea & this is relevant too. Its clear Hearn is trying to get on some Don King in the 80's HW kingpin sh^t. He's got Joshua who's obviously the man. He's got Whyte who he's trying to make the gatekeeper to Joshua. He's got Big Baby who's a legit top ten guy. He's making offers to Wilder. He allegedly made an offer via the DAZN deal to Kownack who's a fringe contender or maybe legit contender now depending on how impressed you were with him KOing his Polish brother probably.
Hearn ain't playing.
Higgins was at that Whyte vs Parker presser the other day & said he thinks its possible Hearn could be in 20 years the greatest boxing promoter ever if things go right with the stuff he's got in the pipeline. I think its hard to argue against that with how things are looking at the moment. Its just about Hearn making sh^t as big as it can get.
Have to admit, it would be quite a spectacle watching Joshua knock out a 300lb man. Miller is also about as close to zero risk as there is for Joshua.
So I get it. It's a fight people would talk about, in a country where Joshua currently has few fans.
