I just found it funnier that Wilders team didn't even put a deal/contract together, just called AJ out and immediately claimed ducking even though there was fuck all to sign. If they wanted Eddie Hearn to sort the venue and everything they shouldn't be mouthing off about the need for it to be in Vegas.Lets be honest you can now talk your way into a big fight. With Twitter and social media so powerful now they will now more than likely get this fight on and I hope it is in the next 6 months. I do like both and Wilder is right about a champion needing to travel to fight he has travel around the world to fight a few fights so far. I think he will sell the fight big time. I think if they want this fight to bringing heavyweight boxing back to big time US in Vegas then this fight has to be the 1 to bring to Vegas. Now will Hearn and AJ go to Vegas to fight or will they milk the money they will get from a Wembley or Cardiff instead and fight a Parker first.
I know Wilder is a loud mouth but fuck it people will pay top dollar to see loudmouths get beaten. Look at the numbers Money v McGregor done people tuned into that fight more so to see McGregor getting KOd and it happen. This wont do as well as that fight in the PPV numbers and i do think that this could be the fight to bring heavyweight boxing back to the US. Wilder and American public need this fight. We need America to be producing the bigger fighters in the heavyweights I long for a new Tyson a new Holyfield to get the fight game over there back on the up again.
Boxing has changed for the better in that respect, in terms of money a fighter doesn't need to crack the USA, it's way more global now AJ's last opponent made more than Wilder ever has for example.
I do agree for a fighters legacy they do need to be headlining in the big USA venues, Vegas, Madison Square Garden too perhaps. I like to see British fighters out in Vegas anyway but I don't like the "bombsquad" acting like they are big time and calling the shots, AJ calls the shots if it's in Vegas it's because he wants to.
