    Hahaha the Wilder fans must be pooping themselves. They have finally got the fight they pretended to want. The end is near.

    Actually, if Wilder gets knocked out by some other boxer, the great commercial opportunity of the AJ-Wilder fight will be (almost) lost, so yes, it seems like the right thing to do.

    Let’s hope that none of the four governing bodies force a mandatory on either fighter

    Wilder's stocks have certainly risen with the Ortiz win. Hearn acknowledges that.

    As a unification they should get the green light from the various bodies - let's hope so anyway.

    Problems is that doesn't make Wilder a draw in the US. He still is light years away from PPV stardom. 7 title defenses as a HW beltholder and not a single PPV.

    This fight is ripe and that is being acknowledged by the people who can make it happen.

    No chance, I hope this fight happens next, so we can see who is the better man. If what Eddie is saying is true than props to AJ for taking this fight sooner than I thought he would.

    Forget draws and PPV, why do you care what numbers he does? Are you gunna receive any money if he did more?

    yeh beat a 40someting for a title defence. Such leaps and bounds.

    when a 40 year old man apparently represents the best athlete in his sport on a planet of 7 billion, you are being lied to.

    cos there isnt a cardio sport in the world where that holds true.

    If they are serious about making this fight, none of the bodies will do anything. This is the biggest HW fight that can be made world wide and the revenue it would bring would be crazy.

    37 y/o AJ beat a 41 y/o coming off a loss and a 2 year lay off. See how easy it is to make an opponent sound bad when you nitpick. I gave AJ his credit and you give Wilder his credit.
