Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Still Very Eager To Make Title Defense in Africa

Have you been to Nigeria? lol. It of course has its issues, and being poor in the country is still terrible, but there's a heck of a life to be lived in Nigeria if you've got money.

MKO Abeola Stadium is in Anthony Joshua's home state in Nigeria, is basically about the size of Brammall Lane (30k-35k seats, depending on staging), and Nigerians and Africans/Brits/internationals can easily back the N150,000-N15,000 (basically $450-$40, depending on the currency swap) to fill the venue.

Same timezone as the UK aswell which helps PPV wise. Really need a suitable opponent though, couple of years you may have that Nigerian Schaefer has, from what Ive read hes a bit handy

No. But that exchange rate tells me all I need to know

Life sucks for the poor (the exchange rate will give you a hint of that) but don't let that fool you into thinking that there's no money in the country or that there isn't a burgeoning upper class/upper middle class that could sustain a Joshua event.

The Frenchman, you mean?

Either way, economics aren't as bad as folks want to make it seem (especially with the fact that ringside seats can be pushed up excessively, as very well-to-do Nigerians come out to see arguably Nigeria's biggest sporting star ringside)

Africa is a continent not a country and I can assure you some of the most beautiful place on Earth are in Africa.

[Randall Cunning]

Its all getting a bit out of control what they saying every day now though. 2 days ago Joshua would be staying in the UK stadiums only, yesterday he was off to America, today Africa. Looking forward to next week so everything calms down.

There are ****holes all over the world on every continent. Why do you think it's particular to Africa?

[Dramacyde]

Does that idiot know that Africans are so poor they won't be able to buy a ticket or order PPV?
