    Being afraid to lose home ground advantage can apply to any fighter.

    Link? I don't see how it could. Wilder isn't a PPV fighter in the US so as it stands the only numbers we have to go on are Joshua's.

    The bigger draw doesn't travel. Whether that's right or not is irrelevant. That's the way it is. In years gone by this would of nearly always been the American fighter. Now it isn't.

    Welcome to 2018.

    Surely you have posted here long enough to know this site won't allow certain links to be posted?

    How could it be? You would have to ask Eddie that.

    And Joshua was born in Cardiff... Do you realise what a goof you've just made yourself look?

    Only Americans think leaving their state is a big deal. Anyway here's a little bit of geography trivia for you: Las Vegas is located in the home country of American fighters. Who knew?

    So it's not on YouTube or any of the big sports broadcasters then? And many people have described such a link without too much effort.

    You ring Eddie or text him for this info because every interview he has done said wilder comes to the uk as there is more money than in the states.

    If your going to make **** up make sure there ain't a tonne of interviews out there saying the opposite from the horses mouth. Dream world.

    One would have to assume you have Google.

    Don't be afraid to use it.

    I've never seem Eddie say anything remotely like that it would make more money in America..

    He has mentioned that they will one day be trying to break it into America but that doesn't mean going there to fight Wilder..

    Why bother when stuff all actually go to the fight, fans can see it on TV no matter where the fight happens, if Eddie thinks it is financially worth it the fight would just take place in American prime time...

    Bottom line is AJ is the A side Wilder is the B so it will happen where the A side wants it, just like with Parker...

    He’s definitely a draw in the UK. The ticket prices are a fraction of the cost that a venue like MGM would charge....but that’s still very impressive numbers. Wilder will need to come up off that 50/50 split the more serious negotiations get with Joshua if he doesn’t want to price himself out and miss the opportunity to make his biggest payday.
