    It's quite simple. If more people have seen Wilder fight, more people are likely to buy a PPV with him in. Wilder - Whyte in the UK live on Sky Sports, would get more viewers than Wilder gets on Showtime. Ideally, he knocks Whyte out spectacularly and from March onwards the Sky machine could build Joshua - Wilder into a huge event in the summer.

    Personally, I couldn't care less though. I see the logic, but I don't need to see Wilder - Whyte, while I do want to see Joshua - Wilder.

    If he genuinely said that then this is a duck pure and simple. He talks about 50/50 but as said before 50/50 of what. His team have yet to make any kind of real offer.

    With Parker saying 60/40 would do, the Parker fight seems the most likely to be the next. Which I personally would prefer. Parker may not have looked as impressive as Wilder of late but then he's been facing better opposition. I think Parker's durability will make it a tougher fight for Joshua.

    I would at least watch Wilder fight Whyte though. I can't say the same for the majority of his potential opponents if Joshua - Wilder doesn't happen.

    He wont fight AJ.

    He wont fight Whyte.

    He wont fight Fury.

    He wont fight Povetkin.

    Is there anyone he will fight, except Tony the bin man?

    If its on US PPV then Wilder derserves a big piece of the pie as AJ would not be on that platform without him. 55/45 or 60/40 in favour of AJ. If its on regular TV then 70/30 or 65/35

    How the Hell can Wilder v Joshua be PPV in the US you fools.First it would have to take place in the US/Las Vegas at Prime Time.Secondly,both Wilder and Joshua are not known,they would both have to fight their at least twice before they can make it PPV.Will anyone even actually buy it.PPV in the UK is cheap,in the US it's four times the Price.Then last point,their has been reports of Hearn wanting to move Joshua over to HBO which would explain why HBO Signed Miller is it to show they are intrested in the HW Divison again.If Hearn wants more dates from them to make his Matchroom USA work what better way than to sweeten them up by giving Joshua.This then Creates a Major Problem as Wilder is A Haymon Client and therefore Showtime Affiliated who i'm sure wouldn't want to share this fight after investing so much into both AJ and Wilder
