Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Back in October, November - But No Clear Option

[1hourRun]

Idk about no clear options.

If Klitschko wants the rematch you fight him cuz you're contractually obligated to do so.

If Klitschko doesn't want the rematch & Fury can somehow be in shape + ready you fight him.

And if Klitschko doesn't want the rematch + Fury isn't ready/needs more time you fight Pulev to keep all your belts.

Seems pretty clear to me.

Then in the first quarter of 2018 you fight the Wilder/Joshua winner ideally or Fury if you passed on him the first time or if neither of those options are viable fight some other bs #1 contender to fulfill or push back a mandatory situation.

You forgot Ortiz, hes the other mandatory for the WBA and hes also due.

Joshua next fight should be in the US to build his brand. A showcase fight where Americans can attend and watch live during normal hours Americans are custom to watching fights would be huge for his cross over success. A full week where he can do the media rounds show up live at ESPN studios and do all their shows. Right now he's big in the UK but needs work to get that money in the US.

Funny how the manager doesnt mention Ortiz. I guess Ortiz is too dangerous for their liking.

In fairness Ortiz & his team hasn't helped his cause at being relevant to any title holder. Plus Cubans never have much of a following so there is never money in those fights so they almost always gotta wait to be pushed into bigger money fights via a mandatory situation so he's likely just gonna have to wait.

Yo I wish we had 20$ PPV's, thanks for the info.

We also pay up to about $100 a month for Sky so it's not as great as it sounds

If they make both title defenses due at the same time, which wouldn't surprise me cuz abc groups are corrupt + ****** then he just throws one belt away. It seems like the Pulev situation is being pushed more aggressively so far so if Klitschko & Fury isn't available then he's the guy. Ortiz is gonna have to wait til the first half of 2018 & that's only if Fury or the likely Wilder vs Parker winner (assuming that fight gets made) isn't ready at best I think or cuz Joshua drops the IBF belt over fighting Klitschko or Fury in Oct/Nov & only has the one belt by that point.

I fully expect Joshua to throw out one belt within his first year to go for bigger fights over bs mandatory fights (& I say bs mandatory fights in both cases cuz neither Pulev or Ortiz has fought anyone that should have reasonably given them a mandatory spot except in the rulebook of a corrupt & ****** abc group) so any belt he throws away will rightfully be thrown away.

Things are gonna be nuts for Joshua when he can sell a UK PPV + a US PPV. 1M+ at $20ish + maybe 300k, 400k, 500k+ at the start & 1M+ later on down the line as he grows in popularity at $70ish a pop.

I assume Floyd gots the most 1M+ PPV buy fights in more than one more market for the same fight record, but for sure Joshua is gonna blast that record real quick if he gets to the point of being able to do that himself.

I think so. His endorsement money will be light years greater too. He's definitely going to the Forbes list this year lol

PPV price before Saturday was £19.95 = $25.70

If you paid on the day - £26.95 = $34.72

Obviously they made a **** ton of money on 90,000 tickets thanks to StubHub wink wink. Someone said they ran out of beer.

It's unfortunate, but remember Ortiz is the WBA mandatory. They rarely force champions (especially like Joshua) to fight mandatories. Not to mention Ortiz offers very little upside financial potential.

Ouch, so Sky Sports and Box Nation aren't bundled with other providers?

I assume you mean the Wilder/Parker winner? But yeah this is how I would plan his career over the next year or so.
