I can't respond to him, because like many cowardly AJ fans, he has me blocked.
But I have to respond to this:
"If he is making more money than any Heavyweight and he holds 3 of the 4 belts, why should be go and try and break America? In my opinion, he doesn't have to or need to. The world should be coming to him."
That isn't how money works. The US is where you go to make the biggest fights and purses. It's not possible for the world to come to him and generate the same revenue. Hearn wanted Wilder to come to him, but Hearn said the fight was only worth 40 million if the world came to AJ.
If AJ came to the world, the fight was worth 100 million.
That's a big difference.
Lennox Lewis, Joe Calzaghe, Naseem Hamed, etc all made their biggest money in America. By far. US PPV is how you make the monster purses. That's the way it's always been.
