Originally posted by New England View Postjoshua literally pulled tape off of his glove in his last fight and called a timeout. there's no way in hell wilder wins a decision over there. i coud see the fight getting stopped early, too, we've seen that plenty of times in england.
i don't think it's goign to go to the cards, obviously, but there's a lot to be said about the impending of feeling of doom that there's no way in hell you can win if it does.
it's not a perfect venue by any stretch, but vegas is the most neutral site for a boxing match on the planet. joshua will probably have aton of people int he bulding.

And people wonder why NO U.S. fighters are signing with Eddie The Snake Hearns.
His word is crap.

Originally posted by Smash View Posti mean going to vegas is great, for wilder, its a cesspit of home town decisions week in and week out, it happens so often its shock when it doesnt, people may say this fight is not going the distance, but it might and there is no way that wilder could actually decision joshua, except if its in the states and then its a near guarantee i would say unless its a total wipeout from wilder which is very unlikely.
Joshua needs to ko wilder in vegas and vice versa, except thats the only way wilder wins. Plus the ref, so important in these big fights and can often make or break the fight for one guy, vegas is bought, uk is close behind tho p
Then whats wilders purse in this fight if joshua agrees a flat fee? 20 mil, 40 mil, 70 mil? What if the fight really does great somehow. Speculation is great but people are often wrong.Last edited by peplz; 05-25-2018, 02:38 PM.

If the offer is fair, Wilder has already made it clear that he's fine with it (though the rematch split will be the last hurdle).
Fight is worth $40m according to Eddie Hearn; 40% of that puts Wilder's number at $16m.
$15m against 40% of the take (likely some fixed number between 35% and 40%) for the first fight, with 50/50 for the rematch, and you've likely got a deal.

Learn about the sport and quit being such a casual.

hearn should offer wilder 40% to go to the uk, rematch in vegas, that will keep most happy, wilder can KO joshua in front of his home fans and make it a priority to try to get a half decent ref that is not totally biased, and if it does not work out he can repay the compliment in vegas with blind judges and a ref wearing the stars and stripes
if hearn does not offer 35% - 40% for UK and does not take the wilder offer then its a clear duck and he wants to milk joshua for a year or so
