    Josh made more money in his last fight than Davis and jack did in their career combined there is no way they are on the same level don't be an idiot.

    Aj isn't top of the mountain I'm not silly but guys barely making 1 mil a fight are not in his league. Davis and jack will probably never be ppv fighters.
    Aj sold 1.5 million ppvs. Also this is all in 19 fights.

    How is klitchko a so so heavyweight? The man ruled the division for 10 years.

    Andre Ward is the p4p king but it takes more than that to really carry the sport after the aj fight I went on a night out. Literally everyone was talking about the fight. Strangers would come to me to talk about it can you honestly say the same thing about Andre Ward?
    They are in the same league cuz it was klitschko that everyone came to see not A.J. and klitschko is so-so cuz he fought a bunch of weak competition his WHOLE career and got knocked out more than once against lesser competition. It's not his fault he ruled the division 10yrs it's that athletes that big are going to different sports for more $. Now 1 thing that really helps carry the sport is the commentating & journalism because these so called fans vomit the same exact thing they say....unlike Floyd he just took it over with trash talk & the walk (gotta luv it), when you keep winning there's nothing they can do about it. Unfortunately that's not Ward's character but regardless he is P4P King right now.

      You think the people of London came to see klitchko? Get the **** out of here. If more people came to see klitchko the fight would've just happened in Germany. Were the 1.5 million ppvs due to klitchko also? Until your boys start putting up those numbers they aren't in the same league as aj. Aj was filling out the 02 arena in seconds which is still bigger than the bingo halls jack and Davis usually fight in.

      He didn't fight weak opponents his entire career. David haye, povetkin and Sam peter are three decent heavyweights to name a few.

        Your in denial, of course they came for klitschko. I don't even like klitschko but I'm not gonna deny he was the draw. David Hayes and Sam peters both wack. They ain't even beat anyone and don't bring up James Toney cuz Toney beat sam the first time and was robbed....

          I'm not in denial. Being from London I know exactly the reason why it sold out so quickly. Like I said all of ajs fights have been quick sell outs so there's no doubt in my mind he's the reason why. Keep telling yourself otherwise and comparing him to guys who couldn't sell out an arena in their home town or sell a ppv if their life's depended on it if it makes you feel better but just remember one thing- men lie, women lie but numbers don't!

            And your one of the people that lie....Listen there is 3 reasons why A.J. net worth is higher (2mil vs 10mil, seems pretty good since he aint famous yet...)
            1. endorsement
            2. media (they only cover who they want unless they have no choice like Floyd...)
            3. everyone is waiting for a mike Tyson.....

            Floyd had to make his $ the hard way and hasn't had any endorsement.....you think Tank has any of that? I bet you if he was living in the UK he would....you guys just be eating all the B.S. up like a bunch of suckas...LMAO

              You're just giving me more reasons why AJ is bigger than tank and jack and if they were on his level they'd have the same thing. All those things just make him a bigger draw. Floyd was an Olympic gold medal winner and one of the most famous faces on the planet im sure he got his fair share of his endorsements

              If you honestly think he's not famous than you're one of the people that lie.

              I like tank don't get me wrong. He does have star potential but he will need to be matched very carefully.

                Floyd ain't win the gold even tho he should've and he didn't get endorsements, at least not in the pros he is/was the highest paid athlete without endorsements. I'm not lying, Joshua is not a draw in the us but now that he beat klitschko he got a lil fame now but I don't think it will last long.....as for Tank, he's good I just wonder how he would do in higher divisions cuz he kind of short.
