    Thats what I'm saying I hate when people dont wanna give people their credit. Fact of the matter is Ortiz is the best win on all the HWs resume except Furys win over Wlad and Aj's over klitschko

    Ortiz asked Wilder all the questions people didn't think he had answers for.

    Exactly ... it's a 'bird in the hand' situation.

    If the fight is made Wilder will prove to be a phenomenal draw. Fans in the US is just waiting for the fight to be made. Then you see the interest go up 100%. Plus the hype machine and the knockout hi lights will steamroll it into a mega fight, the likes of or bigger than May vs Pac.

    You don't have to deal with Finkel or Dibella. But you do have to deal with Haymon. Wilder has softened his stance on what he wants. Haymon told him to zip it lol and let me negotiate. Now we will see if crooked mouf and the stiff one will take the fight.

    So the **** what. Fights are built. It can be made into a ppv foight and if it doesn't sell (Ibelieve that it will though)so what. Boxing needs the fight. Headvetkin nor Joshua have been on ppv and sold with their low ass gates feasting on bum after bum and robbing the people of their hard earned money. And I'm talking about our ppv, the real ppv...and not that fraud ppv that you guys try to count as ppv, lmao. I gotta stop being mean.

    Surely nobody thinks Joshua-Wilder won't sell?

    Ofc , there is no way for Parker to get a decision in England... And this is a fight that will probably go to the scorecards.

    I can't wait for Joshua to knock Wilder out! Wilder has a small puncher's chance, but that's it, he will be outclassed by Joshua.................

    Same thing was said about Parker's chances of winning on the cards against Hughie in the UK and he had local officials too. Admittedly Hughie did very little and didn't deserve to win, but Parker still got the nod against the odds.

    Well Hughie improved the world record for 12 rounds of running...Have no idea how the **** Rocky Young scored it 114-114. But for sure if Hughie didn't run he was going to get a lame decision in his backyard.

    Which fans in the USA are those? Wilder has problems filling 12k arenas. He's never been on PPV. He walked down Time Square giving an interview and literally no one recognized him. Wilder is pretty much unknown in his home country.

    Yeah, Rocky Young had about as good a night as Hughie.

    Wilder's ratings on Showtime were very, very good, he's clearly the biggest draw on Showtime now, who isn't already on PPV. Wilder has done a good job of growing his fan base by piggy backing off Joshua's name.

    Hopefully this gets Showtime to contemplate making this fight PPV or at least pay considerably more for the fight than they would of before and that will only sweeten the pot and make the pressure for the fight to happen next even greater.

    Hearn, Finkel and Dibella are all likely talking with Showtime and HBO to see what they are willing to pay and that will decide what happens next. If it's enough for Hearn to change his plans then the fight will likely be next. If Hearn still thinks more value can be squeezed out of the fight then he'll delay it further and likely try and have a double header with Joshua/Povetkin or Miller and Wilder/Breazeale or Whyte, then have Joshua/Wilder late in 2018.
