joyce must be utter crap now in the eyes of the AJ joyboys

Usyk' leftovers. Usyk toyed with Joyce, made him look weak. Usyk might be the best fighter in boxing besides Lomachenko and GGG.

You’re back you going to be a good boy from now . I bet you campaigned daily to get your ban revoked? Good to have you back.

Joyce does have white in him but that doesn’t matter to you I imagine. However Usyk did beat Joyce but in the amateurs although you already knew that and me telling you amateurs is different from professional, would not make the slightest bit of difference because we both know the reason you mentioned it in the first place. Old habits die hard

Haymon should definitely start PBC UK, Hearn would have a heart attack

Why?

Eddie Hearn has the exclusive to Sky Sports in the UK, and he's got some fighters who would make really good potential opponents for the guys that Haymon works for (Joshua, Callum Smith, Kell Brook, and the pups that have the chance to break through to world level, like Buatsi and Josh Kelly).

That shouldn’t stop him.

I'll be interested to see the responses from guys who have been consistently pro-UK, anti-US (and anti-Haymon by default).

Personally, I think there's potential in this. Joyce has not really done anything yet other that calling out guys for fights he hasn't earned. Hammon might be able to get him on his way.

Might as well, Haye has (predictably) failed to get him big fights.

[Scipio2009]

I still think that it's a mistake for Joyce to link up with Abel Sanchez, tbh (Buddy McGirt or Jeff Mayweather would've been better fits, imo, especially if the aim is to get Joyce as good as he can be. Would even call up the guy that works with Luis Ortiz out of his Miami camp).

No need to try to fell an oak with your own skull.

Getting access to TV is key for the venture to have any chance in the UK. Sky Sports spends the most money, with BoxNation/BT Sports significantly behind that, and then you have Channel 5 (don't know for sure, but it seems akin to the old NBCSN deal that Kathy Diva had) and ITV (seemingly only in it to back the McGuigans) drastically behind that.

It's not going to take Hearn's guaranteed $250m deal, but Haymon is going to need a broadcaster being willing to put up the money needed to get into the conversation with BT and Sky. 4-12 shows, each with a budget approaching what Hearn gets for a show for regular Sky Sports, with the backing for one PPV every year.

I've always believed he was good enough to fight for a world title long before the Olympics nothing has changed my mind think he would be number 2 if he was American behind wilder bit tougher in the UK though aj fury whyte bellew chisura hughie fury and with good young fighters dubios and gorman doesn't really get a look in something might open up for him state side get him in the mix heavyweight scene is competitive at last
