Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Win Would Make Him Major Sports Star in The

Joshua hasn't shown that he can go past 8 rounds and looked to be huffing and puffing by the end of his last fight. With his overly muscular build it would be a smart plan to try to extend him the distance and see if he doesn't fade late. he was huffing and puffing in rounds 2-3 not rounds 6-7. He caught some huge body shots and that takes it toll. He proved he could go past that and didn't look tired in the last rounds.

Martin is going to need a knockout to win. Don't see him getting a decision. Not to mention if Martin is wobbled or even slips the ref will be looking to step in and stop it prematurely. Citing the Nick Blackwell incident.

He's got some sneaky power. But I haven't seen him display any skills that tells me he could outpoint Joshua over 12 rounds. But obviously, we don't know before Saturday.

How on earth does AJ get 8mill? from the gate at the O2 and PPV they can only be looking at 15-17mill tops, then other tv deals and sponsers bring it upto 20-22mill. Pay fighters and promotion, Martin must only be on 1.5mill. I would imagine it comes close to 800-1mil buys. There's a lot of money to go around and with his new management deal, I'm sure he's getting that sweet % of PPV cut. But yeah, £8million in your 16th fight. Jesus. that must be a record of some sort.

He's already a PPV mainstay in the UK, if he wins a world title on Saturday night he will go to another level. He's on the verge of being a megastar.

WAR Joshua!! If Joshua knock Martin out, Joshua vs Haye is inevitable and would make tons of money.

In a fairly called contest that would probably be his best strategy for winning, actually. He doesn't seem like a huge power puncher. He's got some sneaky power.

Doubt he could legitimately win a decision anyway. In a fairly called contest that would probably be his best strategy for winning, actually. He doesn't seem like a huge power puncher.

£8million? Damn, sounds like a lot.
