Oooo the mecca of boxing, bla bla bla. What a load of wank.

The UK is where it's at. FACT. He might end up going to Vegas but frankly the atmosphere over there (and the WHOLE of America) is just awful. Terrible, the worst in world boxing.

A night watching Ovill Mckenzie in York Hall would make more noise than any of those giant MacDonald bumhole venues in Vegas.

Tell me, honestly, WHY are America sports fans such ****s? Why are you THE most boring people on earth? Why are you all so fcuking FAT and proper ugly too?

Has he been to the USA before with his criminal past? If they grant him access then why not? They are pretty thorough, imagine Amir Khan has to prove himself everytime he goes to the USA getting detained at airports because his name sounds like a *********'s name they claim.

The name becomes bigger if you fight in the USA. The PPV becomes bigger because of the promotions while you are there, the press conferences, training, weigh ins and newspaper coverage. Even casual fans get to know you unlike if you keep fighting in the UK alone, exposure becomes limited. Even Ricky Hatton didn't start making money until he fought in the USA. He was making £400k a fight which turned into millions by crossing the pond.

Eddie already spoke about this. A week or 2 ago he said in an IFL video they'd already looked into the legal side for Joshua and there would be no issues with him going to America.

I'm surprised that the Americans will allow a convicted drug dealer into their country. I guess money talks.

He's already been cleared to enter the U.S.

Lol this.

Especially fighting in Vegas, the sin city that is well known for it's luxurious

His fights don't sell out that quick because only about half of the tickets are made available to fans. They rest are comps for corporate as$wipes/allocated to StubHub where they are sold at vastly inflated prices, thereby shafting the proper fans good and proper.

It's a shame our good pal Kugan never actually pulls Hearn up for this. Yes, he'll ask a question or two about StubHub but never in any real depth and without fail he lets Hearn squirm away with the frankly laughable excuse that all the hundreds of tickets on StubHub are sold by fans who just managed to snag a ticket. Not true: they are given a large allocation at the expense of punters. It's not right, and AJ is a prize c unt for wearing the company's logo on his shorts given this execrable practice.
