    This fight should simply NOT happen in Las Vegas.

    What is more glamorous? Boxing in-front of 90,000 true boxing fans, in a state of the art Stadium that cost $1 billion to build in London.

    Or fighting in-front of overpaid actors and unfortunate souls who've just spunked all their money in casinos in an arena that only holds 16,800 and cost $28 million to build?

    I know what I'd choose if I were a neutral.

    The way I see it is, if you are calling someone out, you have to prepare to go to their backyard and fight on their terms, or else IT is an empty shout.
    50-50 is ridiculous and I don't know who can account for the $52M pot?
    Not even Canelo or GGG can command that kind of purse when they are not in the driving seat position, they both have held ppv events before.
    Is wilder even as known as Crawford?
    Joshua-Wilder is HBO championship fight (not ppv) if it is to be held in the U.S. The same as a few Wlad fights back then.

    Terrance Crawford is moving to 147,which underlines the point i made about 147 the only division which is now American Dominated.You must feel so proud to hear that,A Country with the resources and the size of America are actually dominating something.(No sarcasim intended)

    Ha...well done. With all due respect, if you want to be rude, we "dominate" in what matters the most...as in we are legitimately the greatest super power in the world. I mean other than that I guess we can debate football or boxing or whatever else humors you, but lets be honest...we could turn your country into a parking lot within a couple of days if we were so inclined. Not to worry, we won't do that and I'm certainly not advocating for that, because the truth is our sheer force is only matched by our kindness and goodwill. I'm just saying t if you want to make it some sort of "national pride" thing, we carry the biggest stick..."mate". So can we instead focus on boxing?

    I wish America was less worried about it's ability to 'turn other countries into a parking lot' and more about making sure its own citizens were properly looked after. That such a large economy has such gaping holes in basic health and education should be a stain on its national conscience.

    Kindness and goodwill eh?

    Wilder's demands:
    • Fight in Alabama at an abandoned football field
    • 95/5 split
    • Haymon, Ben Thompson, and Adelaide are the judges
    • 5 minute count if Wilder gets dropped

    Yeah I would agree with this...we aren't perfect by any means, we are better than most everybody else, but far from perfect.

    That 5 minute count was a savvy decision in that fight tbh..

    Wow. I think we’re well past the point of a single great super power. But while we’re on the subject, i think it’s a simple case of who hits first wins, out of yourselves, Russia and China.

    Ironically that fits in well with the Joshua vs Wilder fight.
