    Joshua is practically a household name in the UK now so I don't understand how you can say nobody outside the hardcores know about him. Its Wilder who isn't that well known in his own country.

    Joshua's paydays compared to anyone else at HW alone shows why he's a huge draw, you don't get paid it unless you generate it and anyone in the HW division will get their biggest payday fighting him, he's been marketed amazingly.

    They should fight in the UK if they don't think it will do big in the US, it will do massive numbers over here, there's a lot of money to be made over here in Boxing and that's why many foreigners are asking Hearn to sign them.

      You evidently do care about it, else you wouldn't have disagreed with the statement in the first place. Basically you get upset anytime anything positive about Joshua comes up and react like an emotional child. Your next statement is undoubtedly going to be calling me an 'alt', as that's how ridiculously predictable you are (though maybe you won't because i've just flagged it).

      Just so you are aware by the way... i've talked numerous time about wanting to see Joshua v Wilder.

            "nobody knows who wilder is....he needs to raise his profile"-hearn and the legion of AJ excuse makers

            then

            "so what if AJ doesn't want wilder to get in the ring and cause a stir...that's not AJ's style....and AJ doesn't want it done without a contract first even though hearn hasn't offered wilder any terms or contract ever"-AJ's excuse makers

              My buddies who watch boxing once every few years have definitely mentioned "Anthony Johnson" and "the other guy." So maybe they sort of have crossed over into the mainstream??

                He's a proven draw in the UK, and that's what matters.

                  Because he is in the UK. The US PPV market is dead, post mayweather and 700k sales is seen as a success. I know US PPV is more expensive and generates more money but Joshua puts bums on seats and gets casual fans buying his fights. Any fight with wilder will take place in the UK.

                      I don't recall anyone saying aj is a ppv star in the USA. He's a UK ppv star and a cash cow. Any fighter who earns over 15 mil is a cash cow in boxing because it's very rare.

                      His fights sell around the world and he fills stadiums.

                      He is by far the largest star in the heavyweight division.
