Comments Thread For: Joshua, Hearn Stand Firm: Wilder Fight Must Be in The UK

[OCPancho]

i would like to think that 12.5 mil was just an opening offer on their side, im sure it was

no way they get away with a flat fee for wilder, even hearn knows this

They should have not said take it or leave it then.

The state of this thread, Jesus. You do all realise wilder Is the B side right?

Sky need to reel Hearn and idiot Adam Smith in .They are having too much say and want to keep the gravy train rolling with sub standard fights.Only recently they were trying to big Whyte up for a A.J. rematch. Whyte has done very little since being knocked senseless by A.J. three years ago.

This kind of thing is the reason we are in doubt of seeing the fight we all want.

I'm not great at maths but 90k is quite a lot more than 20k

Mayweather-Pacquiao did the largest gate in history with a 17K seat stadium. Good business requires a multitude of factors, with maths being just one of them

How would Frank Warren or Big Baby Miller, of all fighters, know that a second fight would guarantee Joshua any dollar figure, nevermind $30m?

Lol

They can't, they are also both salty as **** and thus as reliable as Fox News in this matter. Not that this will stop the torrents of ***** being posted.

This subject has long since stopped supporting reasoned debate. It's just a succession of fanboy squabbling and wilful misrepresentation. I'd sooner each of them went into other opponents and got back to boxing than read more of this ****

Vegas isn't anyone's "hometown". That's the biggest horse shet I ever hear people repeat like there is any truth to. While there are plenty of bad decisions out of Las Vegas it's the fight capital of the world. Everyone wants to fight there. I guess when Tony Weeks allowed Marcos Maidana to punch Floyd Mayweather in the back of the head repeatedly it was because he favored the hometown fighter. GTFOH! Jessie Vargas is from Vegas. He's a huge hometown hero! Lol.

lolz vegas is in the US incase u didnt realize, it does not get any worse than vegas for decisions (bar germany), anyone who knows anything about boxing knows this imo

i remember posting about it years ago, with the same BS judges time after time and the awful scorecards, i gave up on it long time ago, just the way it is

btw u dont have to be born in vegas to get these benefits, but take if from me, if the fights in vegas, wilder is the house fighter, thats a fact

I just don't see how it's the huge money maker in America that people say it would be. As far as I know wilder isn't some star and people were taking the piss saying people think he's called Anthony Johnson. You're looking at more of a ward kovalev type thing than pacquiao mayweather. I don't know why wilder wouldn't fancy the job at Wembley, what an experience that would be for a fighter. Imagine knocking Joshua out in front of 90k of his own fans.

that would be the wise thing to do or they can just ride they uk excuse and use it as a reason to move on. Aj fans will support it and call wilder the duck. hearn said it would make more money in the states, wilder offered the bigger money I don't see what the issue is

The issue is control. Can’t see anything else. If they wanted that then they should offer Wilder what he wants then.

what should they say? here is the offer, complain and we will up it for u if u like?

If you honestly don't think that near 90,000 people will be in Las Vegas to enjoy Wilder-Joshua, whether it be in the packed arena, or on one of the MGM Resorts properties, you're kidding yourself.

Hang your hat on the novelty of taking over one venue versus taking over a city if you want.
