Eddie Hearn Offers Wilder $12.5M flat.

[Robbie Barrett]

What makes you believe this will be an afternoon fight?

Well they aren't going to fight at 5am at Wembley.

What makes you believe this will be an afternoon fight?

It's called time zones; unless UK airs the fight live at 2-3AM

Typically UK main event fights air around 5-6PM US/ET

Keep making excuses for Alabama fraud you little bytch pathetic, boxing fans want this fight, you support duck from Wilder. You nuthugger

Of course we want this fight, but why does Wilder, who has more title fights and has won his title before Joshua did, deserve so much less of the pot? This is a low as F offer and if you don't see that, you're dumber than you've already displayed.

You think 2 non PPV fighters are going to sell 1 mil PPVs for an afternoon fight in the US. You're a full blown ******.

This fight is very anticipated here as well, in case you didn't know. (I can tell you're not from the US for several reasons, most notably being a blind, over the top homer like most UK boxing fans) With the build up that it would receive, it would get over a million or close to it.

I believe he deserves same deal as Parker.

Build up by who? Remember Wilder has no promoter?

Anticipated? Wilder only got 1 mil views for his biggest fight against Ortiz. But he going to sell 1 mil PPV's in the afternoon, on his PPV debut against someone less known than he is. Dumb cunt.

Name 1 fight that sold 1 mil PPV in the afternoon.
Name 1 fight between 2 none PPV fighters that sold 1 mil.

Neither has ever happened. Put both these things together and the fight won't sell shit in the US.

A 2 mil fighter is going to sell 100 mil in PPV.

Fantasy land.

There is a lot of "ifs" in what you saying, I don't buy if, heavyweight boxing in US is nearly dead atm. Wilder is 33 years old and almost unmarketable, it would take a miracle to make him a star. I'm not sure if knocking out Joshua in Vegas is enough to make a star of somebody like Wilder. You can believe every dream you dreaming but it got nothing to do with reality.

The IF's are par for the course...thats not an unreasonable statement, but consider the subject. Nothing is guaranteed in fighting, there is much risk. Look at the last Ward fights, and ask the promoters about risk and revenue return.

Hey Im not sure what makes someone a star either... Would you, or I have said "gee if Mayweather would just fight an overaged, shell of himself De la Hoya, IN AN uninspiring fight to boot!, this is what will propel Mayweather to earning big?" I doubt it my friend.

Lets get something straight. I am not a Wilder fan, nor do I dream of Wilder hitting it big...I dream of my own fortunes frankly, Alabamer has his own bank roll.

Your confusing risk management, speculation with unrealistic expectations. Not many make it big, period. Wilder has a course to chart, as all fighters do, to maximize earnings and try to create market appeal, thats just the task at hand.

I still remember the days when Don King could be heard laughing and talking up fights... he was a batard but you knew your fight would cause a stir.

Yet another reason to make a few counter demands and take the fight... Maybe a small percentage of the take, and a rematch clause. Rather than lose the value of this fight.

How so>? He was a legit champion before Joshua and has several defenses including just knocking out his no.1 contender. It takes two to tango and everyone knows Wilder is the most dangerous fighter in the world.
