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

[Nomadic]

Approximately $20 on average

He's been doing around 500k per fight

The Wladmir fight did 1.5 million (the British record)

Obviously the US PPV market would be more attractive but there's really only one fight for him here. They just need Wilder to build up his name so the fight could sell more than the 300k they'd likely sell now.

What fighter(s) could Wilder fight to speed up this process? I feel this fight should happen sooner than later, especially while they both are KO artitist sporting that"0".

has the biggest win of his career and all the momentum in the world...waits 6-7 months to fight again. now is the perfect time to blast out one of the bum types he had been fighting his entire career

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

We pay for which bundles we want. If you want sports you'll get all the Sky Sports channels etc. so you can watch all the sports & for Box office events we then pay that £20 ppv.

Then to watch stuff on boxnation you need to pay £12 a month for that channel. I don't pay for boxnation.

that $100 (£80) is for all of our channels though so you get about 1000+ channels to watch for that price.

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.

Thank you. He was on a couple matchroom cards but did nothing in the way of excitement. I understand people want to see aj lose and feel like he could be the man to do it but at the moment he would be number 5 or 6 in the list of priorities

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

Yea oops lol. Thanks for the heads up.

I honestly think he needs to man up and drop Ortiz (who knows). I think fans would get behind him after something like that.

Gotcha, so it's similar to US cable providers. Except we fork over more cash for PPV

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.

US is not even interested in its own champ - Wilder, who has never sniffed ppv and is relegated to defending his title on a college campus in Hicksville, Alabama.

[LOCOMEX89]

Isn't it early for Joshua to only be fighting twice a year now?

He doesn't yet have 20 fights.

I will not have a problem with a rematch or a fight with Ortiz, but Pulev is not acceptable! If there's no rematch, and AJ chooses Pulev over Ortiz, I will view that as a duck!
