is AJ a big enough draw to fight WILDER on a PPV
Re: is AJ a big enough draw to fight WILDER on a PPV
The pulling power of Joshua in England is huge. His numbers are always good here, and that’s where the money for this fight is

Do you still honestly believe that Deontay Wilder only wants $7m to face Anthony Joshua or will you admit to speculating utter bóllócks?![]()

Re: is AJ a big enough draw to fight WILDER on a PPV
Trying to stay undefeated is stupid.. Risky fights pay off.. Ali and Frazier both had defeats when their rematch and rubber match did more money than the original fight.. Do the big fights everyone wants to see.. This fight will do great because it's a great match-up like Joshua-Klitschko... The only thing that can possibly hurt match-ups like that are rotten judging like Golovkin-Alvarez... Fans get pissed off and they feel ripped off.
Had Klitschko been 3 or 4 years younger -- and better able to weather the first fight -- the rematch would have done better numbers because of the success of the first fight.. It was a spectacular fight because both fighters have tremendous ability..
So do the fights the fans want NOW.. Then do the rematch and rubber-match.. You don't need to marinate it and get chicken fat all over it.

Re: is AJ a big enough draw to fight WILDER on a PPV
In this era, American fans have absolutely no interest in heavyweights.
Here, Wilder is an unknown. Joshua is a non-entity.
Maybe, just maybe, it tops the 150,000 PPV buys for Golovkin vs Lemieux, but not by much.
It would be better served to put the proposed bout on primetime FOX and give these two a little free exposure.
But if they want an actual live crowd, it will have to be held in Alabama.

You sound deluded.. AJ packs out stadiums here.. I'm talking 80 nearer to 90,000 tickets sold..
