    Is there any media reporting on Martin vs Joshua in America?

    Just a question for American boxing fans regarding the hype around Martin vs Joshua. I've been seeing a lot of promotion on Sky in the U.K obviously and they will only ramp it up in the next few weeks with cameras already following both camps and The Gloves Are Off (HBO's face off), already filmed while Martin was in the U.K.

    Has it been promoted on any news channels, newspapers and such in America? Which broadcaster is covering the fight and will there be any build-up? Does any one care that an American champion is travelling abroad to take on a pretty serious challenge and do you think it will get an audience on April 9th at 5pm stateside?

        I'll agree with Joshua but Mcgregor wiped out the 145lb division and Fury didn't have any hype behind him and still doesn't after the Klitschko fight. You're only a hype job if the media or fans are hyping you as the best before you have beaten the best. Fury and Mcgregor both beat champions undefeated for a decade so, regardless if they were hyped before, they cannot be called hype jobs after doing the deed

          I think Martin being a nobody and having no chance in hell would make American promoters hesitant to pour money into hyping him

                I suspect you're wrong about a lot of things...

                  No, i'm afraid not.

                  As everyone knows, Americans are much like dog mess. They stink, they're ugly, no one loves them and they're mostly brown and sloppy.

                    Yes, of course the fight is being talked about and reported about in the USA. Boxing is a world sport and even a minor heavyweight title fight is big news.
