    Eddie Hearn has other ideas so now AJ has changed his tune when everybody is watching. Doesn't matter how he got there just that he finally knows what's up.

        I'm amazed he's not fought overseas already. He ****s on about his proud African heritage, so how about fighting over there? As the saying goes the World is his Lobster!

          Joshua must focus on Klitschko and beating him tonight. Don't worry about other opponents. Once that is done then everyone can see the way forward.

            Why? Maybe 10 years ago but the US market is in decline. The big money is in the UK. Simple.

              Cross fingers that Wilder can beat Parker, have Joshua fight a tune-up in USA then Wilder/Joshua in Wembly.

                it makes sense. Fighting in the US will build his brand and earn him much more money in the long run. A few showcase fights allows american fans to show up at his fights and watch him live during the timeslot that americans are used to watching fights. He can do all the rounds with american media show up at ESPN do all their shows ect.

                  Really? May-Pac did $600 mil in Vegas less than 2 years ago. How do you support this?

                    May-Pac was anomaly. They were the king's of the PPV model... a model that is quickly dying a death because it can't sustain those massive purses. Ward vs Kov is a much more realistic example than May-Pac.

                    British boxing generates bigger money at the elite end these days. Not the insane money of May-Pac, but AJ got a £10mil guarantee for Saturdays's work, plus a share of the TV. That guarantee alone is around 10 times what Wilder gets.

America needs a great Heavyweight that comes across as intelligent and clean cut who can be respected. Wilder is just a dumb hayseed moron who cannot even speak correctly.
                      AJ is a convicted drug dealer...nothing clean but about that slow-motion dumpster fire.

                      AJ is Black too...dummy.

                      He will never be loved in America....just pitied as he's taken out the ring on a stretcher.
