Wilder - "70000 People Look Good In A Small Country But You Make Money In America"

[IMDAZED]

Wrong. Joshua tickets sell out in minutes, you don't think they can raise the prices smart guy? Is vegas even interested? Both Joshua and Wilder aren't stars in America. Neither are have ever even been PPV. But somehow you expect them to make mega gates in America?

Yes, Vegas is interested. And why are you getting all catty? Smart guy? Come on.

Vegas generates more than any other city as far as boxing. And Joshua-Wilder is being built up nicely. So yes, I believe it generates more in Vegas. Just ask Ricky Hatton.

Ask Ricky Hatton what? Hatton was fighting the P4P 1 that was coming off the biggest PPV in history. You're comparing that to Wilder?

Just putting a fight in Vegas doesn't mean it will do big numbers. See Ward-Kovalev. It's all about demand where a fight makes more money. There is none in America.

This is the lil boy floy tactic of mentioning another draw to gain attention and sell your own fight. Wilder and his people are gonna avoid AJ as long as possible, not realising the tactic doesnt work as well when your own fighter is unknown lol

he meant ask Prince Nas or Lewis. The Prince was ecstatic to fight there. If the money is right or makes the most in the UK, because Vegas doesn't have to prove it, then it means Hearn has no problem to fulfill Wilder with a hefty purse. Wilder doesn't care how much Hearn plans to scalp from everyone or anything involved with that fight in the UK, as long as Wilder gets his guaranteed purse.

but it's funny when they say ''But Wilder doesn't deserve...'' it's just a loop of inconsistencies and excuses

I may not like you Robbie, but at least we agree on this part. The hell, Wilder fans arguing that there would be more money in America than fighting Joshua the U.K in front of close to 100,000 brits + the 1 million PPV buys guaranteed in the U.K is laughable.

[soul_survivor]

What is most laughable is people thinking Las Vegas is still centre of the heavyweight universe. That city hasnt held a big hw contest in 10+ years. What was the last one? Tyson/Lewis?

It's a joke when everyone knows the financial centre of the heaviest divisions in europe. Yes some businessmen and casinos may stump up big money for AJ/Wildder in Vegas but it is more difficult than (with ease) selling out Wembley and getting big UK PPV numbers, with possible US PPV thrown in too.

American fans have to understand their country of 300 million plus is irrelevant to the whole division.

[joebloggs789]

The only way this makes more money in America is if it's fought in Vegas. Anything other than that AJ may aswell fight in the UK making 8 figures every fight. Wilder needs to realise he isn't the A side as well.

[Lester Tutor]

Did Lewis vs Tua go to purse bid? What benefit did Lewis have to fight Tua in Vegas? Tua wasn't even a champ. Or does it just stem that HBO made the calls for the Vegas fight?

[Bad_Guy]

Wilder is an idiot if he's trying to dictate terms. He needs to go to the UK, or the fight is not happening.

That fight took place over 17 years ago Lester. A lot has changed in both boxing in general and the HW division in particular since then.

I think AJ would be happy to fight in Vegas for a massive sum. But there is precious little evidence at present that the fight makes commercial sense there.
