    But Miller is AJ's chance to break into America? Ok I got it
    I don't know how well Joshua is known in the US. We'll get some idea when we see the numbers from Joshua/Parker.

    Hearn's the one that keeps saying Miller, Joshua is the one who picks who he fights, never heard him mention Miller. Joshua has only said he wants all the belts this year. Think people are getting carried away with all the chat. I'm inclined to wait, rather than getting ****** into the bickering.

      Did Wilder have a choice? Would Wilder leave the US if he was making 20 mil a fight? US fighters usually travel less than any other nations. ****ing hypocrites.

        Which is precisely why I hold Lennox Lewis to such higher regard.

        He fought whoever, wherever while with AJ he's just content with mediorcrisy on his terms.

        Might as well acknowledge what is the painfully obvious, and that is today's fighters whether from the UK or the U.S just want the high reward without the high risk.

        An ugly truth to a sad reality folks.

          Wilder and Parker HAVE to follow in the steps of Ali because it makes them the most money. Wilder fought a bunch of bums and only really fought two notable fighters in his entire career and he's over 30 lmao. None of them make big money. A.J is more known than both of them put together, makes more money than both of them put together and has fought better boxers than both of them put together (ARGUABLY)....and that's with him just being a big fish in little ol' England.

          He is the A side...and it's not even close. If Wilder made the kind of money that AJ did in Alabama, he wouldn't leave.
          Barry Hearn said the fight makes more money in America.

          When Calzaghe-Hopkins has a higher gate in Vegas than Joshua-Klitscko & Cotto-Alvarez generates more revenue than Joshua-Klitschko its kinda hard to argue the money is in the UK & not Vegas

            AJ is not even the best British fighter, just the biggest, and I'll support ANY fighter if they are good. My favourite fighters of all time are U.S fighters.

            You're a bitter troll that can't comprehend that there is a world out there bigger than the U.S. You're in a bubble. You can't even imagine how big AJ fights are worldwide and the reach he has.

            The numbers for AJ/Klitscho are insane, one of the most watched boxing fights of all time, and troll/fanboys like you think its a bad thing because it's not big in YOUR country!

            **** off fanboy, this sport is global, and the U.S doesn't matter any more.

              Meanwhile Wilder & Parker are willing to travel the world to defend their WORLD titles. Parker even traveled as the A side against Hughie

              Joshua is happy in his safe space. I just don't think this guy has the mentally of a great WORLD champion. Wilder & Parker are following in the steps of Ali.

              The Brits will defend him because they aren't used to having nice things. They're used to their champs coming overseas and getting mollywhopped. They want to hold onto this feeling forever. Which is understandable when you aren't used to being the best.
              Get over yourself

              Back to school tomorrow.

                  The last time the UK had the best HW he didn't even want to fight there. That should tell you a lot

                    Canelo wouldn't have been a PPV Star without support of Mexican & Mexican American fans.
