Canelo-Golovkin did 1.3, and the hype anticipation was huge. Canelo got 40, Golovkin got 20 million so still dont understand how they can offer Joshua 50.
The U.K. become would also be huge. But yeah, it doesn’t even do close to 1.5m, it probably doesn’t even reach 500k. It was a pr stunt, complete BS offer, wilders team have completely refused to meet Hearn in two separate occasions whilst Hearn is in the states. Can not wait for the day some bum jaws Wilder!
Eddie knows the UK is THE place to hold the fight to where there is the most money to be made for all involved not even Las Vegas would be even remotely close to what the UK can bring it How long has it been since there has been 90,000 seat arena filled in the United States to watch boxing Mega sales on the US are just Not happening. Especially at heavyweight.
It depends on how it's promoted. Canelo-GGG could've easily did 2 million PPV's if Canelo would've fought GGG fighter after the Cotto fight. Canelo was coming off the Cotto win and GGG over Lemieux. At that time the fight was in high demand and GGG was on a 20+ knockout streak. By having the fight almost 2 years later they wasted all of that momentum, since Jacobs stopped GGG's knockout out streak and Canelo had 3 back to back fights that were worthless compared to the Cotto fight.
Joshua/Wilder should be in the UK because Joshua is the star, he has more titles, he fought Parker, Wilder would not, he fought Vlad, Wilder would not, but where else could you get 90,000 fans at ringside in America? Wilder wants the fight in Alabama! Are the cows boxing fans? Wilder does not have $50,000,000..................let's see him show the money. Wilder also wants to have everything his way, he wants a Haymon referee, boxing commission, judges, referee, etc., Wilder also wants to provide the food for Joshua to eat....................
