Comments Thread For: Hearn: Once Americans See Joshua, He'll Become a Massive Star

[Batfink]

A star in his own right

Joshua is a big star in uk he has sold football stadiums and that’s not necessarily a common occurrence. It’s a fantastic achievement and with that success perhaps a avoid risks strategy has started to creep in particularly if he can generate huge sums fighting tomato cans. The UK sports platform is dominated by Sky Sports PPV and now BT sports PPV are coming strong.

Travelling to US Joshua has a guaranteed purse propped up by DAZN and there’s considerable debate around their US subscribers. DAZN platform is a new streaming service offering which is based on a month fee for subscribers. There has been talk that Joshua’s last fight was watched by around 16k subscribers in US.

DAZN is not currently in the league of the big tv networks in US. As such this service probably can not offer the level of exposure Joshua needs in the mainstream market to garner interest from a wide spectrum of fans.

Wilder vs Fury II has that added benefit of access to a much larger US based audience through the mainstream networks.

It’s going to be very interesting watching the big three heavyweights going head to head in the US for publicity and exposure. Don’t be surprised if the biggest heavyweight name from the UK in US is Tyson Fury

I could care less what you’re not intersted in...younoosted a silly statement and yes he was scared shyteless to face wilder in the USA. But wants to face miller in the USA. It’s a pansy move.....the money isnin the USA and the reason he didn’t want to face wilder in the USA is because he is scared he will lose and wants the advantage rage of pro-british Hearn picked judge’s and referees like he had against Parker. To hell with this “a side b side” drama queen bs....stop talking about other men’s money like they will break tou off some son!

This is the second time AJ fought Miller. The first time they fought they did it in the UK. This is the rematch in America
