Or will he demand home country advantage?
It's only fair that the rematch be in the UK.

Wilder was willing to travel to Russia so he is definitely willing to travel to UK as long as the money is right for him.
I think there will be a rematch in the UK, unless Vegas becomes interested.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Wilder complained bitterly about going to Russia, but had to or he would have lost his title, because Povetkin's promoter won the purse bid.
If he had a choice at that time, like he does now, he would NOT have gone overseas.
And then he refused to fight Povetkin, after there was a false accusation of PED use. Povetkin apparently had a tiny, microscopic trace of some substance that was NOT a steroid and had been legal until a couple of months before.

Wilder was on the plane ready to do a Rocky 4.

Going to be hard to get the money right in the UK. Some reports say the PPV will end up near 400k in USA alone. Knowing that the 2nd would do better numbers you give away too much money doing it in the UK which would kill US PPV sales. US fight fans just won’t buy a mid day fight.
In an ideal world it should be in the UK because Tyson won the fight and because Tyson travelled first go. Just don’t expect fair to trump dollars
How many UK PPV buys needed to match the US dollars?
320,000 US buys at $75 = 24000000
A Million UK buys at $25 = 25000000
(just a rough estimate)
By those numbers it's clear they could double the PPV price in the UK for either against Joshua and it would beat a million. And any fight between the three packs a football stadium.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I think Wilder will fight fury in the uk , its a perfect chance to raise his profile.
He know if he forces the action he can hurt fury , can fury box any better than he did on Saturday ?
That's what we need to find out.
He’s a bitch pussy with poor grammar. There’s no way he’s going to the UK for a rematch.

320 is the first PPV, go look at the numbers for Joshua’s first PPV, Maywrathers, GGGs, literally anyone. Fighters numbers rise. Pretending not to realize that is disingenuous.
I really don’t understand if people pretend not to understand or genuinely don’t understand the numbers. This is not complicated. And it is clear as day
You are presenting an argument that makes horrible business sense, what does it serve to do so?
Let me put it very simply.
Deontay/AJ in US=US and UK PPV
Deontay/Fury in US=US and UK PPV
Deontay/AJ in UK=UK PPV
Deontay/Fury in UK=UK PPV
The US fans simply aren’t as devoted, they won’t buy an afternoon fight there is empirical evidence.
AJ/Fury=UK PPV
It’s not fair or right but it is how it is. To maximize you want both markets. And Fury and Wilder both just became bigger stars. Not AJ in UK big but bigger. A Wilder/Fury rematch does 600k in US easy, probably more like a million. That’s just in the US. An AJ/Wilder fight after that does 1 million in the US easy
You don’t sacrifice 30 million in PPV to get 5 million at the gate.(example looking at gates of AJs last stadium fight vs Wilder/Fury)

I got a feeling we’ll see AJ v Wilder next in April.
Wilder will get more money for that one and might see it as potentially more winnable so he could then cash in further with Fury rematch.
Wilder AJ is a pick em fight for me.
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
I think Wilder would travel if the money is right.
Personally I think the mandatories are going to start getting in the way soon.
