Comments Thread For: Hearn: Hard for Joshua to Leave UK When He Draws 90,000 Fans

[New England]

only reason joshua would possibly leave the UK would be to fight in vegas, and the fight would have to be huge, with a ton of international bet money, high priced ringside seats, the works. i can't see that. getting to that level qould require a push from a US promotor, or eddie hearn going outside of his territory to promote joshua in the US.

righ tnow vegas doesn't bring enough to the table. yes, the ceiling is higher, and it's the only place in the world where people spend 5 figures on ringside seats, and gamble away millions at the tables or sports book, but right now the fight is bigger in a soccer stadium in the UK.


joshua will kill wilder if they ever fight. i expect it to be on regular showtime, and UK ppv, and in front of abig, expensive crowd in a soccer stadium.

if you go in the "wilder ducking whyte" threads the UK fans would insist that people over there barely know who wilder is(this is their basis for justifying a fight no one really cares about...so they can call wilder a ducker)......

yeah joshua is getting 90k to fight wlad...is he doing that against lesser opponents?

Why is that even a question? Joshua sold out the Principality Stadium for Pulev who's hardly known and that's 75 thousand people.
