    I say he signs 1 or 2 fight deals so he can come over to the other network when he cleans house at the first one.

      Do he want to be the face of boxing or do you want to play second fiddle to The BIG BUM SHOW! Your choice AJ.

          How exactly does this help your argument? Ward, for all his skill, is not nearly as recognized as he could/should be if he'd managed his career better in the past few years and had better promotion along the way.

          Joshua is going to Showtime, it seems. As others have said, this probably means he'll make twice as much money but misses a chance at stardom.

              Does HBO have a deal with Klitchko or Fury after their rematch? If so, I assume they have the advantage.

                HBO got the viewers and credibility. I see SHO and PBC as a secondary compared to HBO. Everything from the commentators to the fights.

                    Showtime also has CBS guys, remember that when you talk about viewers. Plus isn't he facing another Haymon fighter next? That makes me think it's probably Showtime. But then again Wade just fought GGG on HBO so I guess it will be where ever the money is at.

                      I've seen a few cats not so subtly hinting its Showtime. Seem like they probably have more loose money these days. HBO is just throwing all their good fights on HBO PPV. I also tend to think Joshua wants the Haye's & Wilder's before he wants the Fury's & Klitschko's with his current level of experience so if even if he's thinking HBO is the better overall product thats gonna require him to fight better guys for the same money probably.

                      Plus Showtime probably sees him as a ratings booster while HBO just sees him as another guy to add to their roster thus offering more money.

                      Respek to Joshua whatever he does. He's gonna be rich as f#ck soon. Hope he's smart with all this money unlike most cats.
