Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Would Love To Help Promote Joshua in America

[JASON SHAW]

It'll be Wilder - Joshua in the fall of 2018. The writing is on the wall.

Eddie said he might bring joshua to america to fight someone like gerald washington first lol.... he wants the Wilder fight at wembley and i cant really blame him.... they could make double or tripple in england for that in 2018.... Are you going to Gervonta davis vs walsh or Spence vs brook?

[Damn Wicked]

No thank you, Oscar. Some of us would like to see a Wilder-Joshua fight, rather than let it "marinate" for years

Good point.

If Goldenboy get Joshua we'll be treated to AJ fighting bums and avoiding the big fights for the next 5 years.

Stop quoting bogus amounts from the promoters. Look at the revenue Joshua klitch did how money was the live gate? And how much off those little 20 buck PPVS? Now go look up what canelo/cotto drew for a live gate which canelo/Chavez has already surpassed. Canelo/chavez selling ppvs at 70 bucks MORE then 3X Joshua. And this fight is predicting close to 1m ppv buys. Canelo/chavez sold tickets at what avg price 800 bucks a ticket. Joshua fight was about avg 100 bucks a ticket. Thats why you get a larger live gate off 20k tickets in vegas then 90k in the UK but with cheap tickets. And make more money off 1m ppv X 70 bucks then 1.5m ppv X cheap 20 bucks in UK. And I didn't even mention the Mexican tv deal where the 2 major tv stations paid out the nose to both get the rights to broadcast it. And they sold rights to every other country. The fight today will make more money then the Joshua fight last week that is just a mathetatical fact. Not only will Chavez fight generate more money it will be close to double.

For a start 20 bucks is not £20 pounds...secondly if its 20 bucks its £30 lol....wembleys cheapest tickets was £100 which is $128 bucks...ringside tickets were £2500 which is $3200 bucks lol...the average cost of riingside tickets were £200 so if you multiply that by 90k that is £18 million live gate....its not bogus numbers at all it broke all records and surpassed the record of 1.5 million which was for the mayweather pacquaio fight...don't exagerate when you say its double the amount....joshua vs klitchko was a bigger global event than canelo vs chavez......to equal the ppv number revenue that joshua klitchcko made it will need to sell 750k ppvs and to double it has to make 1.5 million and i doubt very much it sells that...mexico dont have ppv for a start...it wont do a million ppv in the states and ill bet you what ever you want

Really so if he does a rematch with chavez it won't make more money? A fight with GGG makes more then chavez and likely more money then any fight joshua will ever make especially if he stays in the UK. I know you guys all giddy over records set in the UK but none of those numbers even crack what floyd, manny and now canelo generate in vegas. Again the tickets sold cost almost 10x more and the ppvs are sold for over 3X more. So for joshua to match the revenue from a typical 1m big PPV in vegas he would need to sell 3.5m UK PPVS and sell 140,000 tickets. Do they build stadiums that big in the UK? He'd have to come to the states to get that money or you need to flip the entire UK price model and charge more for tickets and ppvs and see if UK fans go for that.

What the f@ck you talking about idiot...canelo did 275k with smith and less than 600k with khan....canelo is nowhere the draw of a mayweather or pacquaio and never will be....joshua will now become the biggest star in boxing.....i dont see china wanting to 200 million to stage a canelo fight....go ask tyson who he thinks is the future of boxing lol...dimwit

I wish, but I'll be starting my summer job in the states (law student). But several buddies based in London will be there for both.

[JASON SHAW]

but it won't be a rarity going forward. They're talking about principality stadium in cardiff for his next fight. It seats 75k. The ppv would do 1+ million again. He's definitely clearing 10 million for the rest of his career. The us can't support that number right now. You know that lol

who do you think he will fight next that will help him sell 75k tickets and 1 million ppv?? Unless its wilder or fury i doubt it but i could be wrong....

[PrBoxing88]

Didn't Cotto vs Canelo made 100m+???

[JASON SHAW]

you're too f#cking high or drunk or pill'd up my friend lol.

Idk wtf canelo or haymon gots to do with anything i asked. I really don't know what joshua's tv host friend has to do with a goddamn thing.

I'm just wondering if its that difficult for a uk to promoter to get a us promotional license that for some reason any sorta team up would be necessary for hearn? I coulda swore hearn has actually done a us show already once or twice. Its a simple question that has no affiliations with any other party being relevant at all.

Or b+ troll post. Either or. You confuse me as much as mtc sometimes. You two getting into a debate might be the most hilarious thing this site has ever seen.

you genius promoting him on tv and late night shows is the hard part... He can pay lou dibella or tom brown of tgb like haymon does to use their promoters permit... That is the easy part..... Literally any promoter in the game would bend over for eddie hearn to let them use their permit for a fight..... I was just talking about promoting joshua in the mianstream to make his name ring in the public...

Im sure Linares will go back to england to fight again as well... Wont be surprised if Thurman vs Brook happens in london also in 2018 if brook can pull it off...

[Randall Cunning]

Im sure Linares will go back to england to fight again as well

Of course, he was only just scouting Campbell last week. Reminds me, did they cut Oscar out last week, swear I see him in the ring when Linares was getting interviewed, I was pretty drunk though
