Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostOf course AJ's gates are bigger than Wilder's. AJ is a bigger star with a bigger fanbase. Nobody has ever disputed that AJ is #1. All that's ever been said is that Wilder is the strongest #2 out there and deserving of proper respect as the B-side in the biggest fight possible.
Joshua $21 million Wilder $2.4 million duh

AJ does good numbers but the real money is in America.
GGG v Canelo did nearly $30m on the gate and you wouldn't even say that was a fight that had mass appeal to the casual audience. it was a massive fight in boxing with a bit of crossover appeal and still had nearly $30m gate. Floyd v Manny/McGregor was the ultimate one for the casual audience and they did over $70m
Joshua's revenue is really nothing compared to a big Vegas event.
The amount of people at the event is one thing, but it's the revenue that really matters. Floyd v McGregor could've sold a stadium out 5X over but they don't need to. They just put it in a vegas arena with those prices.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostThe gates for his fights are $10 million dollars. Putting 80-90k in a stadium and only getting a $10 mil gate. For comparison. Hopkins vs. Calzgaghe back in 2008 did a gate of $11 mil in Vegas with a crowd of 14,000. Neither one was a big name in America.
Aint no money for Wilder to fight AJ in the UK. If Wilder beats Fury in December then the AJ fight gotta be moved to America where they both can actually make some money. The $50 mil is only possible in America.Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostThe topic is what's the highest gate for Wilder-AJ. Is it Vegas or is it Wembley?
No wonder they didn't think the $50 mil was real. They can't fathom a $20 mil gate with only 20,000 people.
Don't you understand ... that kind of greed is what put big fights in the US beyond the reach of the ordinary, working class guys who made the sport what it was in the golden age, and killed boxing as a main-stream sport in the US!
And the stupid money that you guys have to shell out to watch PPV fights on your own TVs at home ...Last edited by kafkod; 10-05-2018, 06:38 PM.
