    If Vegas want the fight so bad then let DiBella and Wilder go there and get them to take the risk and offer Joshua the £25 Million to £30 Million he’d be guaranteed in the UK.

    If Wilder, DiBella and the big Vegas casinos aren’t prepared to do that then they should STFU and accept that the money & the fight is in the UK on Hearns terms.

    AJ does not need Wilder, he’ll earn £20 Million a fight by fighting Parker, Haye, T Fury, Pulev, Povetkin and in about 3 years time there’ll be Dubois etc to keep him busy.

    In the meantime Wilder can continue to fight in the High School gymnasiums of Alabama’s finest educational facilities and earn 2 feathered balloons and kazoo as his purse.

    What Wilder and his handlers have to accept is that they have zero bargaining chips, no matter how loud they shout. The boxing world already accepts Anthony Joshua as the world premier Heavyweight whether he has the increasingly worthless WBC belt or not!

    So Deontay, DiBella etc suck it up, accept your plight and come to the UK to face Whyte for $4 Million! If you look good and play the game by promoting yourself, you can sit down and talk about facing AJ for your big cash out retirement fight.

    On your point about Rival Networks,AJ is going to HBO after his next and last fight with Showtime.Watch the interview with Espinoza on Fighthype,he is basically saying to Hearn/AJ dont turn your back on us,we backed him first in the US.That will be the Stumbling block of this fight.Hearn was spotted with Peter Nelson at the Burnett fight and if he wants more dates with them with Matchroom USA,giving them Joshua will certainly help that relationship.Remember they matched the Showtime bid for His last fight.Then we will see if AL haymon allows Wilder in his biggest fight to fight on HBO.

    Parker was expected to blow out HF, he never did when he stepped up to the plate. What do you think Wilder does differently to Parker that makes me more of a threat to Hughie than Parker is? Wilder sure as hell isen't knocking out Ruiz JR, never, nor Takam. He had trouble against ****ing Stiverne 1st time round so I know what the hell I'm talking about here. He's not knocking out Parker neither. You see these guys have all fought one another, tested at the top level. Everybody else is still waiting for Wilder's defining fight, because Stiverne 2 don't cut the mustard I'm afraid.

    Well, Hearn moving Joshua to HBO in the U.S. would not help make a Joshua-Wilder fight, that's for sure. They're both on Showtime now. Seems like a natural to make that fight NOW.

    Again, doesn't seem like Hearn really wants to make that bout.

    He isn't?

    Why, because Ruiz has such an awesome defense? Because Ruiz withstood the bombs of Ray Austin and Joe Hanks?

    Good Lord. Enough already.

    Ruiz calling out Chris Arreola in a battle of the fat Califonians is about the right level for him.

    Exactly so Hearn will move Joshua to HBO thus creating another stumbling block which he wont entirely get the blame at.HBO will probably bid more than Showtime for a Multi Fight Deal and you cant blame Hearn for putting Joshua somewhere where he will get more money and the No1 Network in America.Then it creates a problem with Wilder/Al Haymon/Showtime simultaneously.That is why Everyone from Wilder's side want the fight now,even Espinoza.AJ and Hearn have all the Power in making this fight.But Wilder has the Power in the Ring which is the Key in all this.

    They can't because Wilder has to fight Whyte first, and then they have to wait for a warm day.

    Otherwise nobody will watch it.

    At least that's according to Hearn.

    They won’t because Wilder has no following, no money men, no backers that can even contemplate an offer. Wilder brings nothing to the table, even his belts worthless due to it being systematically devalued by Wilder and the WBC

    Ruiz Jr is a level above Arreola. Not sure why you're making Arreola to be so bad, he's one of Wilder's top 5 wins in 39 fights.

    Wilder had a broken hand and a torn bicep and beat the holy hell out of late sub Arreola and stopped him a year and a half ago.

    Nobody's calling out Chris Arreola anymore, except Andy Ruiz.

    Seriously, did you fall asleep in 2016? You seem to be about a year behind with all this?

    Ortiz and Arreola aren't anyone's concerns at the moment. You need to catch up.

    Here, I'll help.

    Nobody is calling for Mayweather-Pac II anymore. Muhammad Ali is dead. And Amir Khan turned out not to be a very good middleweight.

    Quit nodding off.

    Lots of things have changed. There's this thing called Brexit and a TV Show host is the U.S. President.
