    the UK musta forgot

    -lennox, froch, khan, fury and parker all said AJ was ducking wilder...amongst many other fighters, trainers and promoters

    -that barry advised aj to avoid wilder for a couple of years at least

    -that AJ told his fans to train to fight wilder cause its not as easy as it looks

    -that aj turned down a 50 mil guarantee to fight wilder already in vegas

    -that aj had previously called vegas the "mecca" of boxing

    -that AJ insisted the fight had to be at home "for the fans"...despite previously saying that his fans don't control his career and that they should train to fight wilder

    -THAT WILDER TOLD HEARN STRAIGHT UP HE WAS PURSUING A FURY REMATCH FIRST BEFORE HE WOULD CONSIDER AJ(I guess this more recent even has been lost on the UK fanboys)

    Anyone from the UK who actually follows boxing knows the score. Tyson Fury is a lot more popular with the man on the street than Anthony Joshua. The Hearn's have just created this false image that AJ is some kind of superstar in Britain. He really isn't. His following is made up of a certain demographic. If you look they're usually young, boisterous know-nothing's that think whatever Eddie says is gospel. Even Dillian Whyte is starting to rival AJ's popularity with the wider audience. The idea that AJ is some kinda ultra-popular rockstar/celebrity is a total myth.

        You deserve to be banned for writing such BS. Joshua fills stadiums fighting nobodies. Fury couldn't fill wolverhampton town hall FFS.

            cong**** on filling stadiums

            now let me fill you in on something

            aj filled 80k in a stadium to fight the legendary wlad....guess what? two Mexicans fighting in an 18k seat arena in vegas made more money at the gate than the AJ/wlad fight

            your 80k filled stadiums don't mean much to the bottom line

              But is that what you want?? The argument I've NEVER understood is a fan defending his favorite fighter fighting NOBODIES to get a huge paycheck. Does that satisfy you as the fan?? I suppose to be sure your phony pride doesn't take an "L", but what does that truly mean? You prefer to not see him be challenged or tested?

                The only point relevant here is the last one and tbf the only one that matters.

                The rest all have clear counter arguments or don't mean much and there's plenty of examples of Wilder not wanting AJ.

                  The numbers speak for themselves. Joshua is massively more popular.

                    I'll let you into a secret Mexicans aren't American. So why you bragging about that? They mean more to the bottom line than Wilder who can't sell out an arena in his hometown.
