Certainly nothing like AJ and Wembley. I'm not too sure, but before Hearn/AJ, how did the UK market do? I think if Wilder beats AJ, the US market will definitely come into play.
Washington, Miller, Breazeale, Jennings are all gate keepers. Yeah, some of them may contend here or there, but none will be getting a belt.
In looking at the available fighters for AJ and Wilder, they're slowly but surely getting rid of the possible contenders. Who would have a good chance of beating either one of them now?
its not that he cant draw its the fact that because eddie is investing now espn and showtime and fox are as well. which means there is a tv war between networks. so depending on where you sign you only fight the house fighters depending on network. so the money and crowds may not hit the stadiums but the fighters will get paid which is great. In saying this the tv networks will throw lots of money at fighters
Don't know about espn, but HBO and Showtime have been having PPV wars for years. Is it different now? Not challenging you, I just don't know.
So, is the money HBO and Showtime are throwing at fighters anything like what Hearn is getting in the UK? Not just with AJ, but his Matchroom promotions?
