    1. You gave **** to Canelo but what was your stance on MayPac lol ?
    Nevermind

    2. I was always a Joshua fan, good guy, charismatic, fan friendly style, whats not to like about him, I was thrilled that he ended Wlad's reign. I was never a Wlad fan and I wanted him gone


    3. Wilder wants that AJ retirement money, of course, anyone does really
    Hearn does what Floyd and Oscar did before him, nothing new

    4. I wanna see this fight but I dont care when, I know it will happen sooner or later, just like MayPac or CaneloGGG

    5. When you have nothing to say you stupid ish though I'm glad your back

    This. Hearn doing this doesn't prove anything. I could go to plenty of cities throughout the U.S. and people wouldn't know who Canelo is. Victor Ortiz and Broner are both more well known than Canelo and still make less money.

    It didnt prove anything but his point is overall true.

    Otherwise Wilder would be the A side. Not a lot of americans follow Wilder yet. Thats not Hearns fault duuuuuude.

    Not a lot of Americans follow boxing regardless of the fighter. But, Paying boxing fans know who Wilder is in both the U.S. and the U.K and that's all that matters.

    Not enough to warrant 50/50 purse split.

    AJ brings in 10s of Millions and Wilder brings in millions. Thats the only thing that matters.

    Pretty sure we all already knew this. If Wilder really wants the fight as badly as he says he does, he needs to accept an offer similar to the one he was offered to fight Whyte.

    Listen stop Embrassing the Uk and saying it's the home of Boxing.This Year arguably the best for British Boxing,but still America held the two biggest fights of the year.One by a long stretch,Mayweather v Mcgregor then Golvokin v Canelo.The Numbers are steady given how much one ticket and one ppv costs,it cost three times as much in the US.If you had a choice it's still Las Vegas over anywhere,it's the stuff of dreams.Not a dig our atmosphere is so much better,but getting a bit annoyed,America and Las Vegas has carried the Sport for the last 50 Years. They still have the best fighters argubaly,Crawford,Gervonta,Spence,Thurman, Charlo Brothers,Wilder.Hate it when fellow Brits get too cocky.

    I still dont get why people take this **** of the Whyte deal.Hearn offered Wilder a route to solve the Unknown issues in the UK.He Knows Wilder will Knock out Whyte but it is a small sacrifice to make when you make the AJ Fight 10 times bigger.People saying it's a roadblock dont fight him,fight Breazeale in the States,but you cant demand 50/50.Imagine this,Wilder knocks out Whyte at the 02,in front of a packed crowd as i'm sure it will be a sellout given Whyte and Wilder are good sellers.Hearn cant run away from the Wilder-Joshua Fight,the demand will outweigh everything

    Mayweather was the Las Vegas cash cow and that's over now, Canelo is probably the main man there now but Wilder isn't a draw, isn't a name, doesn't do big numbers, if he did he'd be paid more.

    Why is Wilder earning 1-2 million per fight? Why are Joshua's opponents now earning more than Wilder does?

    If there's was huge money in the US then why isn't Wilder earning it?

    Hearn is doing what a promoter should do in this situation, he is promoting Joshua and suggesting going on a little tour and listening to offers.

    Hearn has also talked about taking Joshua to Africa and the Middle East, one off fights for large amounts of money.

    Reason.. A lot of the world wants to see Joshua, sadly not many people want to see Wilder and that includes people in his own country.

    If the money is there for Joshua then I'm sure they will go to the US and fight Wilder but it isn't and if it is that's because Joshua has brought it with him, if Wilder is being paid that little now then obviously it's Joshua who will bring that money.

    Answer these two questions please.

    Explain to me why Wilder is being paid 1-2 million per fight?

    If money is there why isn't Wilder earning any of it?

    He did Dancing with the Stars, ESPN commercials, WWE, he hangs out with celebrities, and he never lost...it made him famous and continuing to win kept him famous.

    You should be "grateful" that we allow you to live under the umbrella of freedom and safety that we provide, that's what you should be "grateful" for. BTW, "You're welcome"...

    Point is everyone in the UK knows who AJ is. I know UK is smaller but 1mil PPV and 78K attendences vs an unknown is a huge fanbase.

    As in 'we' please do not say America.You are a classic example of a American.I am being honest though,One Comment Schaffer,Di Bella make it into some sort of Political Enquiry.One Similarity is and which i find with others like them is that they are Americans.
