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

[Lazy Jab]

Once Americans see Joshua they'll demand he step up his competition.. HOPEFULLY. Probably even question why he hasn't faced Wilder or Fury since hes won the title from Martin.

From my understanding, AJ is already known here but with room to improve. I would imagine fighting on Showtime in New York would grow his brand..not sure how well DAZN will do. But anything that can make the Furywilder fights bigger I'm cool with but only if hes serious about facing either. Rather than only APPEARING to want the fight publicly.

One thing is for certain is that Anthony Joshua won't be doing no 2 mil pay per view buys in the U.S. As opposed to the U.K. Because 2 mil pay per view buys is equivalent to 400,000 buys in the U.S. Since the states are at least five times the population size of the U.K.

Jesus you have lost it pal. Anyway enough of all that, I’m planning to come to America and I need your help. I want to spearhead my own record label . I’m calling it Baby oil promotions in tribute to Deontay. Im hoping to get as much Wilderites involved with my project

Baby oil? I don't know man, I had you on top of the list to hang out with if you ever decided to visit NY.....Baby oil!? I might not be able to turn my back on you! Noel, say it aint so.....I'm gonna give you a chance to redeem yourself..lol...

AJ is not signed up for voluntary testing...............hmmmmmmmm
He's a hyped up steroid freak

Looks like AJ has finally started taking control from Hearn.
AJ wants to be great & Hearn wants to milk the cow.
So what if he loses a fight?
That said, Miller is going to be a lot tougher fight than most expect.
I still stand by my upset of the year prediction.

You have got to let go of that 50 million offer like it means anything. Wilder sent the offer and then Finkel refused to do his job. Finkel refused to show Hearn any of the terms then refused to talk to him any more.

But even if it was real Joshua and Hearn decided to take this one in the UK which is something A sides been doing for a long long time and the B side accepting its just the way it is. And judging by the money and numbers done at the Wilder Fury fight im not so sure it does make more money in America.

"While Joshua was initially skeptical of the high offer, Hearn confirmed that it's legitimate and the money is there. Even with $50 million on the table, Joshua is willing to make less money in order to face Wilder in the UK."

Nobody is giving up on the truth but Joshua fans, who attempt to rewrite history on these boards day after day. When it's not the $50M issue, there's the "he's signed to DAZN" excuse, or something about being the "A-side" (even though Wilder's PPV debut pulled in more PPV revenue than Joshua's last 2 PPV's). Like I said, it's not "nonsense" to point that out IMO, but to each his own. It's just exhausting having you guys deflect so much.

Yeah. Americans hate PED athletes. Like the guy who just won super bowl mvp?

You don't think Edelman couldve improved?....its simply PROVEN offensive Belichick approved routes he's running - with the BEST EVER quarterback in the HISTORY of the sport (SIX rings "like Mike").....its like Michael Jordan making two completely different teams (with the exception of Scottie) win 3 titles each.....Whats motivating Edelman as opposed to Hearn & Crew GREEDY inordinate MONEY GRAB??

Whether or not our PED stance is honorable or self-righteous - its still a VERY GOOD THING we've adopted to CALL OUT possible CHEATS! This CRIME is on the level of assisted MURDER which should include jail time or some type of penalty AWAY from boxing....Edelman had bad stats going into the SB, but he always caught those slant route passes even when they lost regular season games....

Edelman was always a trooper, similar to Tyson Fury. Fury always "boxed," and did pretty good at it. So why shouldnt he have EMBARRASSED Wlad and make Wilder look like a self professed KO artist - if he focused on Ali and the like to improve his craft? Fury found his niche in "boxing" (not brawling) and never looked back, except when he fell off the wagon temporarily....Tell me how Edelman is on PEDs..

I sure do hope you're right! Miller has fought Macys mannequins,... AJ is faaar from a mannequin, a robot maybe - but not a mannequin. Its REALLY easy to look good against mannequins - no opposition is coming your way - just a "body" waiting to get blasted!....AJ has an oxygen fueled energy & endurance that defies his body type.... I once had that AJ type frame and was happy to let it go....Calzaghe or a Roy Jones frame I'd be more inclined to believe as more endurance capable....(Roy did use PEDs at one point though)....Nevertheless, whatever Joshua is using to up his game, he aint no mannequin....

You are right bro I don’t know what I was thinking about. Wilderlites are freaks I can’t be mentioning baby oil or they all might turn up at my office with a bottle.Ok how about voodoo productions incorporated or till this day records In tribute to Deontay obviously.
