Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua is Fighting in The UK, The Ball in Wilder's Court

[Froch_uppercut]

I'm not American, but it's a fact UK is full of gay little ***gs with Westlife haircuts and tiny ****s trying to inhale some manliness by hovering around Anthony Joshua's jockstrap and posting gay little pics of themselves to their gay little friends.

The fight belongs in Vegas where it can be historic, not another Euro backwater

You talk a lot about ****s and gay men, is there something on your mind?

[PunchyPotorff]

Wilder fans sure do guard their lord-and-savior at all costs don't they? Geez, the biggest atmosphere for this is in England. Wilder has one belt. Joshua has four belts. And BTW, those saying the U.S. will be more strict on the testing are just acting dumb. Many fighters have been caught cheating... worldwide. Sounds more and more like Wilder fans are the ones who don't want to risk their guy vs Joshua. All they need to really be concerned about is the rematch clause in the contract. Then fight #2 would be in the U.S. But the man Joshua says England for fight #1. So either it will be England, or Wilder can drop to CW and make even less cashish.

Of course the fight should be in the UK. Wilder can't even sell out a 19,000 seat arena in his home country. There is no reason why Joshua should have to go to Vegas when he is 10x the draw that Wilder is.

That stadium **** is so overrated. Pacquiao fought Margarito at a stadium. Where does rate on his all time gates? Canelo fought Trout at a stadium. Where does that rate on his all time gates? Don’t know how much live boxing you’ve been to. But anything above the tenth to fifteenth row in the lower level makes for an extremely ****ty viewing experience. So I can’t imagine seats in the upper deck of a 90K seat stadium are all that expensive to buy. Being willing to pay $10 for an upper level seat at a stadium just be in the building is far more doable than $500-$1000 for a “cheap seat” at a casino in Vegas for a big fight.

I say let Pov bust AJ up a little & after AJ wins, go to the UK & finish him off.
Hearn only wants Whyte to fight Wilder to land some headbutts & elbows so it’s war now.

You are an idiot. If you actually watched all the IFL Hearn vidoes, he clearly says in a lot of them "I prefer the fight in VEGAS". It's not Eddie Hearn who is preventing this fight, it's Joshua and that Coach of his Rob Mccracken who is turning AJ's Fighting Style into Another version of Robotic Klitschko. Hearn works for AJ, not the other way around, remember that...

So, what's wrong with AJ choosing to whatever he wants? Put yourself in AJ's shoes, he's already made enough money he never has to fight again. He has already become one of the fastest (least fights) unified HW champs in history. He has adoring fans on his doorstep, he's very very famous in his own country, front page news, not buried in the back pages and on lifestyle TV, he's mainstream in the UK.

If I was AJ I'd call the shots, no one is stripping me unless I avoid my mandatories, the only people calling me names are a bunch of Americans whose opinion doesn't really matter to me, I still make $15m+ in my next fight against whoever helps me keep my belts.

Americans constantly say, 'yeah but he could make $50m instead of $15m'...but you can apply the same logic to Wilder travelling to the UK, he'd make a ton more travelling than he ever has before. There isn't a here or villain in all this.

I know you are just responding to whoever hit a raw nerve but what alpha male in their right mind thinks about that crap. There are either 2 options .... 1 you hoping for some green k, after all not everyone has a vivid imagination like you or 2 you said you are not American and you are hoping Trump reads these threads and takes a favourable look on yourGreen card application. Why is it so hard to just post in regards to the fighters/ promoters why do we have to endure your emotions and visual imagery? I think if I was lucky enough to catch you I will strangle you with your mothers thongs but I’m not about to say that to you because my fantasies are irrelevant and so are yours. Let’s keep it civil and non sexual

N.b do blacks guys in U.K. have West life haircuts too?

Lol I couldn't give a **** about green k, I gave most of it away by trolling haha
Noone here hits any raw nerves, it's all for the lols

[Flabble Scrote]

Joshua is just a programmed athlete who thinks on robot lines, he gets his macros in and tries to stay "chill" so his cortisol doesn't effect his gains and tighten him up. That's about it.
He has no higher consciousness or aspirations I believe, he is certainly no Ali or a character like Tyson.
He just wants his gay little selfie seeking Twitter hobbits at home and won't dare to be great in an international arena like Las Vegas where it can really be a world event.
He knows Wilder will grow 10ft tall in Vegas as the USA media finally picks him up in the leadin to the fight.
This could bring back the big time to USA boxing , which benefits the sport everywhere inc UK.

Walk into a London pub and say what you just said, you’ll quickly learn about hiding and running.

Because English people are all well 'ard right haha, Ronnie Pickering lol

[Flabble Scrote]

I'd like to apologise for my comments above, all very juvenile
Fight belongs in Vegas though , grow a bigger pair Joshua

Exactly (not the idiot part)

Hes not that robotic tbh, he's not a bad boxer at all but unification in UK is some small.time stuff for the sake of keeping his home town vibe, extend yourself Joshua, beat the Lion in his lair and earn more money and plaudits
