This ain't no Pac v Floyd. Joshua-Wilder is a cheap-knockoff version. If Joshua/Wilder lose, the whole attraction about this fight goes down the drain, Heavyweights are never the same after a knockout.
Apparantly the wba has ordered aj to getvthe contract signed with povetkin within the next 24hr according to sky. I knew the wilder fight was a promo venture.
This saga needed to come to an end. Just waiting for the fight to be announced and dont speak about wilder again until its realistic. Neither fighter wanted it next but both put on a front. Embarrassing really
Hearn dug himself a hole from the start looking back at it now. It was all the talk about how Joshua overpays his opponents, and how AJ doesn't need to do that anymore now he has all these belts. Every man and his dog knows that Joshua earns many, many times more than Wilder per fight. It was always Wilder's job to make that count for as little as possible during the negotiations, and he's done a better job of that than I expected. It probably means the fight doesn't get made this time around, and when it does Wilder will get more than Hearn wanted him to. Having said that it is risky business by Wilder. An injury or defeat could see him waving his pot of gold goodbye.
AJ v Parker did over 1 mil buys confirmed. Bellew v Haye 2 over 700k buys The numbers from BARB were accurate
