    That makes no difference to the underlying point though, which is a ****** one. Money aside, it was a courageous move on Martin's part to go overseas against one of the most feared punchers in the division.

      Martin cashed out, he didn't go to England because he wanted to prove himself, or because he's a fearless warrior, he went to get paid.

      He's a professional boxer, he did what he was supposed to do. Defend his title against legitimate challengers. He's got more courage than Wilder tho, I'll give him that.

        Your fighter won, Warren. No need to rub it in.

        Heck, I'd fight Joshua for $1.06M, so I don't blame Martin at all. Good on getting a payday.

          Martin Knew any top rated heavy would take his title, so he picked the one who would give him the biggest payday. He knows he isn't very good.

          Simple as that.

          Been saying it from the moment it was announced.

            Joshua is not a Warren fighter, he is Hearn's.

            Anyway, i don't think Martin deserves credit for being soundly beaten in his first defence.

                Martin earned a lot more than that. More like 4 million. I doubt he'll ever fight again.

                    He did cash out but he could've made the same money over a number of softer defences too(like Wilder).

                      His first Mandatory will be Parker or Takem.

                      Both would clean his clock.
