    Did Tyson, LL, Ali, Holyfield become irrelevant because of a loss? No, did it hell. Would Tyson vs Holyfield have generated more buys when they was both undefeated? No, same ball park.
    If Parker knocks out Wilder and AJ loses to Fury, AJ vs Wilder is still a 1.5+ million ppv fight.

    Of course it is. There are more people in Europe that know Wilder than in his homeland.

    What is is about US fight fans that they think they're so entitled?

    Even Jim Gray on showtime, an organisation which would probably benefit more if the fight was in the US, was asking Wilder if he would travel to the UK because it's obvious to any non-entitled American that the fight needs to take place in the UK.

    To be fair, AJ makes HUGE money against anyone.

    I honestly don't think he would lose out on much money at all if wilder lost before they fought.

    It's wilder who needs this fight ASAP, not AJ.

    The Germans don't do ppv, which is why Wilder never tried to fight WK.

    Eddie Hearn quote today. "We need some common sense one just sold 5,000 tickets in Brooklyn, one just sold 75,000 in Cardiff"

    "No offer from team wilder about money, dates, venue"

    This fight will happen in the uk in the summer as wilders team have no money to make a offer to Joshua's team, simply as that really.

    Entitled?

    Vegas attracts far bigger spenders than the U.K. does when it comes to high profile prize fights. For the price of 1 Canelo-Golvkin ring side seat 2 Joshua-Wlad ring side seats could've been purchased with money to spare. Hearn himself knows this, which is why he was desperately trying to have the Joshua-Wlad rematch in at the T-Mobile Arena where he could've easily charged 2.5-3x what he charged at Wembley Stadium. Joshua-Wlad also would've been the first World Heavyweight title fight for the venue, which is another selling point.

    I don't know about that. It might lose some market value if one of them loses prior to them meeting but not a lot off the loser can rebuild. Hell it might be bigger later down the line in terms of money.

    For example Lewis made more for fighting Tyson in 2002 after both had lost than he was offered in 96 for the supposed fight.

    To make the fight happen in the US, Wilder will have to take a less than 10% split....is he going to do that?

    I agree with you about vegas but in this case it's not really relevant. I don't think either of them are big enough in the USA for vegas at the moment, so next best in this fight is the uk

    Wilder is not a draw in the US, AJ isn't a name neither. The fight would make half the money in the US compared to Europe.
