    You need to understand what you read before you comment. You way off base.

    The problem with drawing comparisons with mayweather v Hatton/Pac is that in those scenarios there is an
    A side and a A- side......all 3 fighters were draws and all brought their own PPV sales.

    Wilder must be the only US Heavyweight champ in the PPV era who after 40 fights is still not considered PPV worthy.

    So if Boxing is such a 'minor sport' in the US, why is Wilder not being a PPV draw an exception to the rule, rather than the rule itself?

    Does anyone like PPV really?

    Some of the dross that gets classed as PPV worthy is probably half the reason the sport is dying.

    We pay $70 or $80 for PPV fight and get cheated, with a bad undercard, the house fighter getting all the breaks, etc., bad decisions, such as Byrd and Jarman, Vegas has become the sewer of boxing!

    Hatton v Mayweather showed, UK Fans will stay up.Joshua v Wilder is a superfight to the UK, they will stay up if it takes place in Vegas

    If the first fight is a good one then the second could move to Vegas and I'm sure some uk fans would stay up for it. Cinemas may screen it or pubs get special licenses etc. It's not going to happen for the first fight though, too great a risk.

    It's like this.

    Joshua is a megastar in the uk and a star in europe

    Joshua is not a star in the US

    Wilder is not a star.

    Anywhere.

    So why on gods green earth would this fight happen in america?

    It makes no sense.

    If either one of them was a big star there then maybe, but neither is.

    “Dying sport” lol! Boxing is the biggest it has ever been. Stop crying just because your country is useless at boxing.

    Think about what you just said.....

    Especially when you, yourself, is getting uptight and defending your country.....on a boxing forum.
