Well...he's right. It isn't that big...in the UK. Joshua says give me $50m and I'll sign tomorrow. $50m obviously seems like an extremely high guarantee for him. But not if it's in the UK.
In the UK, you pay to rent a venue.
In Vegas, the venue pays you a handsome fee to hold it there.
The gate would be about the same for either venue.
In the UK, you lose US PPV.
With US PPV, you're talking an additional $50-100 million more.
Clearly both fighters would take less for it to be in the UK. Which is why Hearn started making comments about how it's not all about the money, etc.
But we'll see what the counter was in the next few days.
