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

[The plunger man]

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

Mayweather and pacquaio are the two greatest fighters in out generation and that's why the gate was a world record.
Wilder and joshua are 10% of the drawing power of thse two in he usa.
Even though between boxing fans its a really big fight....to joe smith in the usa they are hardly known.
Thats a fact

I'm not talking about attendances, I'm talking about endorsements, I'm talking about the value of himself as a brand.

And I'm clearly not talking about Hearn, I'm talking about Joshua.

Sigh. Agree to disagree

How can you defend this nonsense? Just admit it. AJ wants a ref that will give him a 30 second 10 count when he goes down and you know he will. He wants a ref that will let him call time outs, hold indefinitely, and award him a tko if Wilder just stumbles back a little. You guys are actually proud of those super early wave offs? You guys are proud because AJ can come to the The United States to fight Miller for a lot less than $50 mil, but can't come and fight Wilder for $50 mil? AJ said "Show me the 50 and I'll fight anywhere, anytime!" They showed him the 50 he said "ok..umm.. nevermind I was just bull****ting" And you brits applauded that and said Wilder is the one duckin? You AJ fans are making far more, and far worse excuses than AJ and what's so pathetic you are pretending like you aren't making excuse. And what resume are you talking about? They both ONLY HAVE 1 QUALITY FIGHT! Old Wlad and Ortiz. Just be honest, Hearn, AJ, and brit don't really want this fight and if you must take it, you want to make sure you have a slow counting ref when AJ gets dropped, suspect judges, and an early stoppage if AJ throws a flurry that doesn't even have to land.

Do you kiss your girl with that same dirty mouth of yours. Bro I promise you if you talk reckless again...... furthermore give me your number let’s have a Skype fight

See I don’t even sound believable. Why the anger and annoyance?You will allow people that live 3000 miles away from you to affect your mood?

The 50 million in the bag was a egg 🍳 in the face moment. He was bragging and it backfired. However we move on from that. Nobody even you like to be reminded of their mistakes so the fact that Joshua fans are not readily yielding doesn’t mean we have not acknowledged it was naive to say the least.. wilder and Joshua fans are at war and you want your belly button rubbed.

Deontay is a killer and if we make one mistake or start gassing he is putting us sleep. Thankfully whilst we are still in a position of power we will make every possible move to bend the fight in our favour.i make no apologies for that. When I switch this mac of ,wilder and Joshua does not consume my thoughts. Also if Joshua was to lose I would come on here and congratulate you....... like hell, you will never see this username again....... I will create another one and come back Russian

What a joke. Their 50 mil bluff gets called and now they have more demands.

One face of boxing is ducking the biggest fight to be made and the other is roided up.

I'm ashamed to say I'm a fan of this sport

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.

Whether or not it is a big fight does not matter. He said himself that if the fight sold less than Wilder's offer (it's apparently projected to only do €40M-€50M) that he would still prefer the fight to be there. He's not arguing on behalf of the fight doing bigger business. He's arguing solely for comfort, which really is just a roadblock. I agree with your argument actually, but Joshua and company are not using it.

[Noelanthony]

right! well then you all should be asking eddie why he doesn't think wilder is worth a percentage! but parker was! 35-40% is fair and wilder would go to the uk. but if this 50mil offer is there I don't see them allowing eddie to dictate where it is held. thanks for the balanced post! rare these days. seems like aj is fighting pedvtkin next

I don’t think he can even if he wanted to. He has said too much. You will see

������Drama Queen. I say that with the greatest of respect

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

Really? Selby wins a title on a scratch, but Linares has to bleed English lions like the red cross. Brook gets hurt, takes off like a rabbit, and gets the survival points. There is no special honesty about the UK hometown edge.

[Noelanthony]

So what’s next? are Team Joshua going to offer Team Wilder improved offers for him to come here?

They have to. What’s annoying is that from the start I knew Joshua will insist on fighting in the U.K. I don’t blame him either but he should have been forthcoming instead of flirting with the idea of fighting in the states knowing full well that that was never going to happen
