    That's 5 times in a row that he has sold over 50,000 seats, right?!
    Why in the hell would he come over here to fight Wilder in Las Vegas or New York and struggle to make ends meet?
    Wilder needs to be realistic if Joshua makes it past Parker and has the other 3 titles vs his one. If Joshua skips Wilder and fights Fury for The RING lineal title then it really diminishes Wilder hold over the WBC and the percentage he wants.
    Joshua could do the same thing Haye did, even bigger, and never have to swing a punch in the United States. The world is bigger than here. World Champion like Ali, who fought everywhere.
    Wilder is my favorite in any fight but business wise he does not have any leverage at this point in his career over AJ.

    :lol: Even in a world where Wilder does pull AJ's ass over to the US why the hell would you expect that to translate in to less asses in seats for his UK fights? In what world is AJ's failure Wilder's success? Why, if things are going according to plan for Wilder, would you expect to see anything but more of the same out of Joshua's figures? That's kind of dumb.

    I'm not saying it's happening but even if Wilder did put together some kind of deal that made sense for AJ to fight in America Wilder would want AJ at AJ's level not to degrade AJ down to Wilder's. Nothing in any of this suggests AJ should be losing asses in seats no matter who the outcome most favors. Ditto for AJ...Joshua doesn't want to see Wilder's number go down he wants them up and if Wilder's numbers do by some miracle skyrocket the Wilder fans would be stupid to say that in some way hurt AJ. The **** it did, it may force him to give up something nominal in negotiation, but it makes him richer...****in' duh.

    Wilder is happy to draw 10% of that for his Alabama fights.

    People? Clout?

    They can both get in the queue.

    The top 3, in no particular order, are money, money and more money.

    Hearn met with Finkel, and Hearn has done the math and aready conceded Joshua-Wilder makes more money in Vegas than the UK.

    How? It seems like fighting in UK makes all the sense money wise since Wilder is not a big draw in USA.

    Get with the program. Hearn already did the maths and money is the reason he gets out of bed.

    Lol! I just can’t see it, I been to a Wilder fight in Vegas and even that they gave away a lot of tickets it was still empty seats, are they expecting all the UK fans come and buy all the remaining seats? UK fans are loyal so it probably happened...

    Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see the fight in Las Vegas, (I’ll be going), but I don’t see it...

    The usual practice is, the Star fighter stays at home.
    It seems like Wilder is afraid to lose the home advantage.

    It could equally be argued it looks like Joshua seems afraid to lose the home ground advantage.

    He is Joshua's manager noob.
