    Joshua vs Klitschko.....

    1.5 million PPV buys in the UK. (Largest in UK history)
    10.4 million viewers in Germany.
    920,000 viewers in Poland.
    659,000 on showtime....the largest audience showtime has ever had for a lunchtime show.
    738,000 on HBO....and it was only a replay!

    Wilder needs to hurry up and cash in before one of them lose. If one of them lose, they all lose out really.

    I disagree with the last part.

    If Wilder beats AJ, AJ is still the bigger draw.

    If AJ beats Wilder, Wilder's career is in ruins.

    No if one of them lose, when they eventually fight, the whole aura around both of them being unstoppable undefeated heavyweights completely takes away ALOT of the casual fans who would of tuned in for this therefore losing them both Millions and Millions of pounds/Dollars.

    No doubt without this fight Joshua will continue to make great money but the money that would involved in this fight based on records and belts and the UK vs US scenario, the casuals would eat this up like crazy

    Disagree.

    Joshua vs Wilder is only slightly bigger than Joshua vs Parker.

    Joshua vs Fury does more than both combined.

    Im not saying its bigger than Fury, jesus can you just read what im saying... If one of them lose before they fight, the casuals will not eat this fight up aswell as they would if they are both undefeated knockout machines.

    I read what you put...and disagreed.

    If Wilder beats Joshua, for example......

    Joshua vs Fury is still bigger than Joshua vs Wilder or Fury vs Wilder.

    AJ is big in Britain ...Wilder might be big in Alabama.

    I think you see where this is going ...

    Youre reading it yes, but youre not understanding it.

    WHAT IM SAYING IS. CASH IN NOW BEFORE ONE OF YOU LOSE AND MISS OUT ON THE MONEY THAT THIS FIGHT WOULD CURRENTLY MAKE.

    NOT ONCE DID I TRY AND COMPARE THIS FIGHT TO ANY OTHER HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT.

    I COMPARED UNDEFEATED JOSHUA VS UNDEFEATED WILDER TO A FIGHT WHERE ONE OF THEM HAD BEEN DEFEATED, THE PROFITS WOULD BE ALOT LOWER. THEREFORE, CASH IN NOW WHILST NEITHER HAS LOST.

    I REPEAT! I AM NOT COMPARING THIS FIGHT TO ANY OTHER HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT SO STOP ****ING MENTIONING THEM AND COMMENT ON WHAT IM ACTUALLY SAYING

    Nope...
    I read it, and disagreed on the section where you said "If one loses, they all lose out really".

    Wilder loses out far far more than Joshua....hence the examples i gave you.

    Im not saying who loses out more, im saying they all lose out on a massive payday regardless of what they can both do elsewhere, there is millions of pounds in this fight right now so make it before them 0s start dropping off the profits because both could lose at any given moment.

    With the right buildup Wilder-Joshua would be huge at the MGM Grand and would do better numbers than Canelo-Golvkin. Especially if either Wilder or Joshua get Parker's strap and they fight for the undisputed heavyweight title. Also, After looking at what Hearn charges for tickets in the UK I see why he easily sales out, since boxing tickets and PPV's are dirt cheap in the UK.

    Golvkin would routinely sell out the Forum because his ticket prices were laughably cheap.

    Both Wilder and Joshua could lose their next fights and this fight will still sell well. Like FMJ and Manny had a loss on their records and that did pretty good.

    That is in no way a good enough comparison in my opinion, they were both P4P 1 & 2 for at least a decade. The reason is still sold as good is because everyone said Manny Pacquiao was the guy who had the style too take away Floyd Mayweathers 0. Even tho he had losses the intrigue was still there based on the style of Pacman. I believe if one of these two fighters lose then Joshua vs Wilder wont be anywhere near as big as it would be if both were seen as undefeated unstoppable monsters by the public.
