[Butt stuff]

awesome. cong**** man.

Yeah will do, odds are already pretty ridic for a fight with so many question marks.

It's Eddie Hearn we're talking about here he basically is the British Bob Arum except I can't remember Bob Arum talking nearly the same amount of **** that Hearn has.

Indeed sad for the fans getting ripped off so likely Eddie can cash in and make much more but I can definitely see why there is going to be high interest in this fight.
This fight will do great PPV numbers the days of AJ being on standard TV is over until he takes a loss its going to be constant PPV's until then.

That's an entirely inaccurate comparison, considering Arum has managed to put on some of the biggest fights in history and Hearn has managed...Froch v Groves and almost managed Brook v Khan lol

Props to Martin for wanting to get paid, if he beats Joshua good for him. Good luck though.

Bookies know better than us. Martin will be at least 15 to 1 by fight Night on UK betting sites.

Height, reach, skill, speed, condition and home town advantage.

It is ****** as backing against Frankel

Echoing what others have said. The whole Matchroom/Stub hub deal isn't good for the fans trying to get a ticket on general sale at legit prices.

I'm seeing +450 on my site for a Martin win (any win). This already seems kind of wide in favor of Joshua you are thinking Martin will become an even bigger underdog?

Definitely not. But I think you'll get better odds on Joshua and therefore won't have to waste your money.

While true, I don't think fans should be getting ripped off or forced to miss out on fights due to the greed of guys like Hearn.

Hearn's job is to make as much money as possible. He's offering an entirely non-essential product: entertainment. His product is worth whatever he's able to trick people into paying.
