Besides his WBC belt, he barely has a following in the US to get excited over, and I can assure you that the UK contingent know very little about him. In his 30+ fights he has just Stiverne to mention. His profile isn't anywhere the like AJ or Wlad. How can he expect to make anywhere near as much as the £30m+ that AJ and Wlad generated? He'd do well to come away with £5m
He brings more than Can Martin did and he got $8m. I'm not sure they sell 90,000 tickets but it could happen as the domestic hype on Joshua is now in the ionosphere.
In all honesty if the wilder fight gets made then it's down to some hard wired deference to American boxers. A boxer from Poland with his resume wouldn't hear himself for the laughter If he started talking about title fights. There is a serious gulf between the two fighters. It's actually something of a mismatch.
Wilder brings a mouth to shut. If this fight happens Wilder will have a lot to say and Joshua will want the fight to smash him into silence. He wants to take his 0, he wants Parkers too, and Fury,s. He wants to make it clear he is the man at the very top of the division, the king. He wants the lot he wants to dominate this division and claim all its glory. Wilder just being Wilder brings enough to the table for this fight to make sense. Wilder may not bring big numbers but it dont matter AJ brings the numbers. A Wilder fight may not fill Wembley stadium but Joshua will still fill the MEN or Wembley arena or where ever no problems. Money wise i dont know what Wlad got or what Wilder would get but im guessing Wilder gets less which is still more than he ever got before.
WTF..there's no way Martin was paid that sum. I refuse to believe that. Didn't Martin initially call out AJ?
Like you said, he brings the WBC title. He could fight Bellew, that would increase his stock in the UK ready for the Joshua fight. Of course though, he's not as big of a draw as joshua, but then no heavyweight is.
He obviously doesn't bring much other than his belt and a loud mouth to boost sales slightly in the UK. But with Joshua likely to face back to mandatories there is still time to build the fight. The fight with Bellew probably on the undercard Joshua's first mandatory will give Wilder much needed exposure to the UK market and if he actually does fight Parker like he says he could end up with 2 belts for the undisputed heavyweight title, that would be the perfect platform for Joshua to break America. But I doubt the later happens as there's no guarantee he beats Parker.
I suppose though that if Parker beats Wilder then that would set up a unification with Joshua. Quite weird though if Joshua had all four titles and Fury would still be regarded as the lineal champion. Now that would make the Fury fight huge.
AJ should pull some canelo shyte right here Six million flat fee take it or leave it Good business decision Lmfao
Joshua's fans are suffering from the "Floyd Mayweather" Syndrome now. Lmao... If Wilder doesn't bring anything to the table...then who does? Ok let's say Fury and Wlad rematch. Who's after that? You'll say Parker? Ok who's after that? Floyd Mayweather Syndrome.
