There seems to be a lot of negativity around Joshua right now and if he's not fighting Wilder or Fury a lot of fans won't be happy. Doubt it would do 100k.
Don't know why negativity will be directed at AJ for not fighting wilder when its been AJ's team making all the serious offers. Wilder admitting this past week that AJ is desperate to fight him but he will "leave AJ in the dark" and isn't interested in fighting him and unifying the divison. AJ vs Whyte does over 80,000 easy, maybe not 100k.
This was always the plan from the beginning. The drunk football fans will lap this up when they're out in the clubs. The bodybuilder Joshua and Eddie Hearn taking people for mugs again. Pulev will be after then maybe Miller. Then 2020 comes around, Fury suffers his stoppage loss to the devastating bronze bomber, he goes into depression balloons up in weight. And Eddie offers him a fight. The other funny scenario could be Price getting a shot, if he beats someone in the top 15. I bet Eddie would love to make that fight. Lol.
I think it could sell quite easily. Joshua is a big seller whoever he fights and lets get it right for Whyte as well, because he sells really well. Just look at the crowds Whyte has pulled for his fights with Parker and Chisora. Hes not a small hall name by any stretch. I think they could do big numbers, they are 2 of the top guys in the UK and 2 of the top guys in the world. I think Wilder may have missed out on not facing Whyte and it would be another big pay day for Whyte and Joshua
Takam did 80k, Whyte sells. Would prefer AJ vs Wilder and Whyte vs Povetkin/Ortiz however I do think that Whyte deserves a title shot next year
Whyte definitely deserves his shot. He has earned his opportunity with Chisora, Helenius, Browne, Parker and Chisora again. Whyte sells as well when you look at his fights with Browne, Parker and Chisora 2. Thats 3 fights in a row in the 02 as main event
Well Wilder cannot even sellout a 20K stadium in America , I think Joshua V Whyte would sell better than Wilder V Joshua to be honest . A good old British slug-fest with two guys who don't like each other and have a bit of history rather like Eubank and Benn. Yeah I think they could sell 100K. Miller V Joshua would sell more than Joshua V Wilder right now. I've pretty much given up on Joshua V Wilder right now. I think this is to do with the American Boxing Border Control no wanting the only heavyweight belt leaving the states under any circumstance unless the odds are heavily I do mean heavily in their favour. Wilder re-iterates this by going back and forth saying they don't want no fight then saying they are begging him for a fight , he overprices himself and really has not much of a leg to stand on in negotiations ( I really mean Wilder's team ). Remember the Fury fight was suppose to increase Wilder's strength at the table with Joshua , look what happened there , make no mistake it's damage control for Wilder , looks like he won't be facing Fury next either by the look of things.
Right now everybody wants the Wilder fight at Wembley in April, well everybody not called Deontay Wilder who is now talking about Breazeale next. But thats clearly not going to happen for Joshua so even though the Whyte fight is not setting pulses racing right now its not a bad fight, its a good domestic scrap and there is unfinished business between the 2 of them, in fights its 1-1 so this does mean something. And before we rip Whyte and his career a new one look at where he stands in the world rankings. He is not a bum hes highly ranked. The Wilder fans will foam at the mouth that he could or should be taking on Luis Ortiz, wouldnt be a bad fight at all but its only Wilder fans that seem to put Ortiz on this pedestal as the 2nd greatest heavyweight of all time, the rest of us see he has done jack **** in his career. But those idiots aside Whyte Joshua isnt a bad fight its just not the one we all want but its a fair substitute. Im sure as the time gets closer, the interviews and the beef makes it on to sky sports news there will be plenty of hype and want for this one. And lets be honest, Joshua goes to 100'000 seat Wembley. I think he sells 75 to 80 thousand seats no matter who he fights, so make plenty of noise about the rematch and the beef he can certainly push for 90 thousand or more. The Americans dont have to like it, the rest of the world doesnt have to like it but it doesnt matter, this fight could break more world records on the domestic front alone. Id recommend the Americans start saving up $80 for Wilder Breazeale.
80k no problem. Its a domestic dust up with Whyte on a roll. His had a big year and its a far easier sell now than it was 12 months ago.
Joshua's next fights 2019 Whyte 2 Takam 2 Povetkin 2 Parker 2 Molina 2 Klitschko 2 Ivan Drago 2 Clubber Lang 2 Jimmy Krankie 2 Anyone expect Fury and Wilder !
Both men sell well and it's a fight many boxing fens have been asking for. Good fight and a KO is almost guaranteed!
Last night I watched Josh Warrington beat Carl Frampton as I don't want PPV on fights we have all ready seen in the past.
