    AJ worth is proven as well as his star power, you are basing Wilders worth on potential and some flaky free to air figures..

    Wilder has such a long way to go to fill the gap..

    I think you're confused.

    Wilder drew more US viewers on Showtime against late sub Stiverne in their rematch than Joshua did on Showtime live against Wlad in the heavyweight fight of the decade.

    So I think you're wrong about that.

    But Wilder has also been on free air television, and drew even more.

    In the US, Wilder is the draw. Not Joshua.

    Joshua scored the biggest payday of his career in a unification bout for the heavyweight title against Wladimir Klitschko in April. The fight had one million pay-per-view buys in the U.K., while 10 million people watched in Germany and 90,000 fans packed Wembley Stadium in London. Joshua knocked out Klitschko in the 11th round to post his 19th straight win since turning pro in 2013 after winning the gold medal at the London Olympics. Corporate marketers tend to shy away from sponsoring individual boxers, but Joshua is one of the exceptions. He boasts a dozen endorsement partners including Under Armour, Jaguar, Beats, StubHub and Audemars Piguet.

    I think Floyd and McGregor earned more than Canelo. Like 10 times more.

    Who really cares what you draw in the US when you get these numbers in a far larger market..

    That's great. How many PPVs did Joshua-Takam sell in Germany? Because Joshua can't fight Wlad again.

    The fight only sold one million buys in the UK at $28 a pop? Are you sure Joshua is a PPV star?

    That's the equivalent of a 250,000-300,000 PPV in the US. That ain't much. For two SUPERSTARS and all.

    If you read the list Connor is a bit higher than Canelo and Floyd is classified as retired..

    That's like saying why do I want to sell 100 of these for 100 dollars when I can sell 200 of them for $25?

    It needs at least 500K US PPV Buys for it to be a success.Can you Promise us that Americans will actually pay $60-100 to watch this fight.Both are unknown to the Casuals in the US and you think it's going to be a success.I can see a mile off what's going to happen,Hearn will give a Speech about how Joshua is the New Ali,Britain this,Britain that after realising how poor the event will be,from Media Coverage etc Just Screw all that and let it happen in London it'll be mad,build up,atmosphere.London Events never fail to Entertain which is exactly the opposite with the Las Vegas counterparts.

    The "retired" Floyd earned about $400 million for that fight.

    But who cares about crashing the US PPV market when you can make $25 million in the UK. Right?

    Genius.

    They both earn't 20 million plus in 2017 what did Wilder earn??? You can talk made up figure all you want but what count is their bank balance...

    lol until Wilder can actually make and has made those PVP numbers with out AJ then stop floating them around.

    Nobody says it should be in the U.S. And there won't be poor media coverage for a heavyweight unification. CBS, ESPN and Showtime would promote the hell out of it.

    And 1.89 million 'casuals' watched Wilder-Washington this year.

    It'll be "mad buildup" wherever it is. The POINT is Joshua can't get on US PPV without Wilder. And that brings a whole pot of money with it. At least equal to the UK PPV market, because US PPVs cost so much.

    I understand that the US PPV Market is a different Lion because of how easy they find it to mug off poor US Fans like yourself with the PPV Price which shouldnt be happening.But Shouldn't it be a standard that the World Heavyweight Champion of America getting 1 Million viewers on Free to Air TV against a American opponent ??? This fight wont happen until 2019/2020 mark my words.They will wait until both have fought in the US so they can build up to it and so it becomes a less of a risk if it happens in Vegas and on SHO PPV.

    If Wilder was already a US PPV star, we wouldn't be having this discussion, because Joshua wouldn't even be getting 25 percent and Wilder the 75 percent.

    Frank Bruno used to draw two to three times as many people to stadiums as Mike Tyson did, but when they fought, Tyson got like 30 million and Bruno 5 million, and Bruno was the champ.

    Why? Because US PPVs charge more and reap more.

    Joshua is a big star in the UK.

    But Joshua is a full level below Wilder when it comes to drawing US TV viewers. I know that's hard for you to swallow, but it's true. Even with Joshua's stellar comp, Wilder draws more viewers in the US with late subs on the same channel Joshua is fighting on.

    If Joshua doesn't want to crack the US PPV market, he doesn't have to. God Bless Him. A lot of guys enjoyed being a domestic hero.

    If Joshua doesn't want in, Wilder can get on US PPV with Fury.

    Then Joshua can kiss 50-50 goodbye forever. Because once Wilder is established on US PPV, and Joshua isn't, there's no 50-50 for Joshua.
