Hearn said AJ was reluctant to deprive his loyal supporters the chance to be there for his biggest fight, and that might be a genuine concern for him, or it it might be a load of old flannel, I guess how you take that depends on whether you believe his nice guy persona is fabricated or real.

AJ is making so much money that the extra he can make in Vegas probably is less important to him than facing his greatest challenge this side of the horizon in the place where he feels most comfortable boxing.

Besides Wilder presents a daunting enough challenge for any heavyweight. If you were Joshua would you want to fight in Vegas with all the controversy associated with the place?

Very cool of you! I sometimes return fire and sometimes (I hope most) take the high road. (or the really 'high' road!)

SenorPipino wrote: ↑11 May 2018, 09:03 What about all that talk a few months back about Joshua eager to come to USA and take on Big Baby at Barclay's?

Is that still on the table?.

Or is it just Wilder that Joshua doesn't want to fight in the states?

Or was it just Hearn blowing typical promoter hot air and there's never been any intention to remove Joshua from his native soil?

jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑11 May 2018, 08:43 It's really easy to make big sounding offers, but were there actual guarantees in place?

It appears from the statements from both Hearn and Joshua that they consider the offer very serious.
Hearn admits the money is in America
Joshua stated he's not selling his belts.

The offer as astronomical as it appears. Seems to be legit.

Now the ball is in team Joshua's court. They need to come back with a legit percentage offer to Wilder or they will look very bad in the eyes of the public.

If AJ's side doesn't want or trust Wilder camp's shaky offer of $50 mill, the best option is to just announce another fight with someone else and ignore this fiasco. Keep it moving. Didn't Hearn say he wants an AJ-Miller fight in the US?

AJ can make 20 mill fighting his mom . in the UK , if he gets screwed in Vegas which is a BIG POSSIBILITY , then his earnings go down , . He has that much money the extra 20-30 mill he makes is not has important has his home town advantage and , the endless 20 mill paydays he will still recieve in the UK ,, Makes perfect sence to insist on the Wilder fight at Wembley then go fight Miller in the states and build his profile .

And thats always assuming the money is there , after all if they have that kind of money , why is Wilder fighting for 2 milliion a fight , It was a stupid offer , sign by monday without seeing a contract or the money , Publicity stunt
