    I'll ask one question at a time for the Wilder fanboys, I'll make it simple. Let's start with an easy one for you, let's see how you get on..

    Explain why if Wilder is such a draw in the US he is being paid between 1-2 million per fight?

    That's a moronic statement right there. People pay the ticket price for a stadium fight for the experience and a fantastic night out. I've forked out more money for a night out on the lash FFS. For many people, watching AJ fight is a once in a lifetime experience that they'll treasure forever.....how the eff does that qualify them all as being sheep?

    When Wilder goes on his rant it's hilarious, I'm not sure if he's deluded, or really believes what he's saying.

    Yeah this is true. That's one of the differences perhaps between people attending fights in the US and UK. It's more of an event in the UK, you don't just go there to watch the fight, that's just one part of a whole evening out or even a weekend away.

    For example for Froch/Groves 2 me and my mates had dinner, went to a bar then a casino, watched the fight, went back to the casino, then went clubbing. The fight itself was just one part of a whole evening of entertainment.

    Yup, Wilder knows all about the American market and money, that's why he fights for purses of $1.4 million and AJ generates $25 million in his UK fights.

    Hearn took the fight against Wlad which was multiple times more dangerous than a fight vs. Wilder.

    AJ's last fight, against a late replacement (!), generated more revenue in a single night than Deontay Wilder generated in his entire pathetic 39 fight career.

    Yup like they dried up for Wlad, who has been fighting in massive football arenas for the better part of 8 years all over Europe, selling millions in tickets. AJ can fight in sold-out arenas for the rest of his professional boxing life if he keeps on winning. He's that big a draw and superstar over here.

    Lol, Wilder wishes he made $2 mill per fight. Most he's ever got was $1.5 mill.

    Correct. His purses..

    $1.4 vs $0.5 for Stiverne 2 (74/26)
    $0.9 vs $0.25 for Washington (78/22)
    $1.4 vs $0.15 for Arreola (90/10)
    $1.5 vs $0.25 for Szpilka (86/14)
    $1.4 vs $0.14 for Duhaupas (91/9)
    $1.4 vs $0.25 for Molina (85/15)
    $1 vs $0.9 for Stiverne 1 (53/47)

    Biggest pot $1.9 vs Stiverne almost 3 years ago and biggest purse for him $1.5 vs Szpilka almost 2 years ago. Lol.

    Also 1 month before Wilder fought Szpilka... Joshua made $5.5mil vs Whyte... He wasn't even a world champion.

    I think he may be one of the worst posters on this site. No logic at all in what he says.

    Hearn's timing with Wlad was perfect. He was the wrong side of 40 and past prime as his performance suggested. Wlad is done. That's why he didn't take the rematch and instead hung the gloves up. Even so, the 27 year old Joshua had to go life and death to beat him.

    Hearn and co don't want any of that Wilder business. None...
