Comments Thread For: Jarrell Miller: Joshua is Nobody in U.S., I Want To Punch His Face

You really believe AJ/Wilder would be free on DAZN? Get out here with that. Hearn wouldn't be that ****** to lose out on US PPV revenue in the US.

Of course it wouldn't be PPV.

DAZN would front the costs and bank on new subscribers.

And yet you need to use his name to get noticed.

Just get back to fighting shot bums, that's more your level.

They both want the fight..Its about money and control and wilder doesnt have much of any...

wilder came up with plenty of money...the money AJ asked for....then what happened?

In UK hands down A side of any weight can do 100k, here selling only 15k he tops Wilder and miller no competition

Selling out Vegas with 20000 will generate a lot more money than 100000 in a soccer stadium in europe where tix are cheap. The numbers for biggest gates are all in the US in vegas not a stadium... an easy google search will show you that. Klitschko put regular 60000 in stadiums with a large portions as give aways. Look what nosebleed seats cost for mayweather, de la hoya, tyson fights in vegas...

Sure, everybody wants to fight Joshua.

True. As Willie Sutton said: that's where the money is!

AJ is definitely a nobody in the US. At least he is where I’m from. Literally every AJ conversation I’ve had around here started with, “who’s the little little English boy Wilder is supposed to be fighting?”

They consider Joshua to be little??

Though to be fair, Americans aren't the brightest.

So Miller has a point, but he also has no name recognition here. No one's really heard of him here in the states. Saw him fight once, and that was on time too many. Slow, plodding, lazy, boring, and those are his good qualities.

AJ fan boys get all defensive when a fighter calls him out. They're quick to say they haven't fought anyone and don't deserve a shot. Only fighter they want him to fight is a useless rematch against Whyte, and they're in agreement that only Wilder deserves a flat fee while everyone gets a percentage.

Everyone doesn't get a percentage though. The only ones are Martin, Wlad and Parker.

Hearn has talked about over paying fighters just to get them in the ring with AJ and how that shouldn't be the case. You should want to earn by far your biggest payday and a shot at the champ, but it seems that's not enough. They want more. It's ridiculous. Hearn shouldn't have to overpay everyone. It needs to stop.

AJ would have to fight on showtime for the US side but AJ made a 3 fight deal for DAZN..Wilder has no deal with showtime but can fight on it anytime but needs a big fight to make the executives happy..

why did AJ say hed take 50 mil? did he think he was going have deontay come up with his 50 mil and still dictate location and network?

joshua signed with showtime as a way for the network to build towards a wilder fight....thats why showtime had them both.....then as soon as the fight became real and viable joshua ducked out! lol...
