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

No it was not invented by the American inventor Philo Farnsworth. Not that it really matters but if you are interested look up John Baird and Wladimir k Zworykin

There was a great play a few years back about the invention of the television called "The Farnsworth Invention".
He was like a farmer/genius basically. According to it he invented it but it was first put into production by David Sarnoff and RCA company..

You studied abroad or you were one of the lucky ones that got your hand on a passport to travel you are a credit to your country. If you can share your knowledge with your compatriot oldskoolg who thinks he is still in the 80’s

Didn’t you enjoy various world studies at uni? But seriously, I thought the TV - at least the electronic invention of it, was an American thing?

It's not a low opinion of Joshua, it's a higher opinion of Miller than most. The guy is huge, with fast hands, good stamina, and seems to have a good chin. Regardless of level of opposition, that is a dangerous combination.

Still unproven ...a massive punt.

If you are interested if not don’t bother. It’s not really interesting to be fair

I left a link above . However, yes behind every great creation there is always an eagle eyed American in place to take credit for it. I don’t doubt you were instrumental in its creation but you can’t take full plaudits although that Jenkins fellow ( who surprisingly is American)played a pivotal role in developing images etc

I think AJ will do well in the US but being on DAZN will be a challenge, he will be seen by LESS People! This is where HBO will be missed because say what you want about HBO it was no better Network to have for foreign fighters to come over and make a name for themselves in America INSTANTLY with that HBO Backing Like Lennox, Pacquiao and so many others

On DAZN the Audience is MUCH SMALLER in the US because it is a New APP. I agree with Dillian Whyte about the advantages of fighting on Showtime over DAZN RIGHT NOW with DAZN being so new in the US but some Brits are in Denial about that and want to PRETEND like they know WTF is going on here in the States

When it comes to Heavyweights though, Americans will not be fooled and will not be easily impressed which is why Wilder is still not a Bigger STAR! They BOTH are going to have to constantly PROVE themselves that aint the UK we don't just Pile on one bandwagon for some sort of PRIDE Reassurance!

Joshua is already a known worldwide champion. DAZN makes it more access to Joshua and Joshua interviews ,past fights etc. Whyte needs a bigger audience right now but even he'll be a DAZN fighter shortly after he puts himself more out there. There would be no point of AJ fighting on a expensive Showtime PPV if hes pushing the DAZN platform where most will subscribe once that fight is on and it will exceed the Wilder vs Fury fight, there's no way it cant . There's levels to marketing and promoting . many people are going to be in for a reality check on here how much it dwarfs the Wilder fight even with just miller instead of Fury.

Showtime PPV will STILL be seen by more people than fighting on DAZN. If you're trying to establish your brand in the US, DAZN APP is not where you should START to try and develop your Brand in the US. Not going to argue it we will just wait and see!

I’ve got a feeling this won’t age well

Yep I'm with you.

One thing that is a certainty in the HW division and this is no one can out wit Tyson Fury. He is the funniest man in the HW division.

Muscleman will be seen in America as a muscle PEDDED HYPE JOB once his history of FEAR against skinny Wilder is revealed to the casuals & masses.....Sugar Ray, Lennox, Arum etc.,(to name a few) have spoken openly about AJs PUNK RELUCTANCE to step over here to face Wilder....COMMERCIAL appeal & preferring to stay HOME to please ZOMBIES that can catch the fight on TV is relegated for CHICKS & ****S, not die hard educated fans of the sport....AJ is NOW FORCED to make an AMERICAN ENTRANCE because the AMERCAN Wilder has called him out! - even his OWN COUNTRY MEN (Whyte & Lennox) can SEE the PUNK IN HIM!!

Barry Hearn can easily be found on youtube interviews comparing AJ to Lennox with words of advice to "DUCK" Wilder because "he's STRONG," with the 80mil DECLINED offer recently AGAIN validated by Whyte & Warren....Barry & Eddie CONTRADICT every friggin' thing they spout and the ZOMBIES eat it up like fine cuisine...its like they want to be AJ....PUNK AJ can keep taking those PEDs, but if he stays here for any length of time, HE WILL be CALLED OUT EXCLUSIVELY for PED INTAKE like Whyte has been recently doing to him....

The GREEEDY Hearn Money Crew definitely will have to put up more than 12mil for Wilder OVER HERE and thats why FAST Eddie is now calling it a "100mil fight" to save his PUNK FACE...AJ will have to PROVE he's MORE than some PUNK HYPE JOB....you'll need more than muscles, smiling, photo shoots and another GREEDY SLICK (not so slick at all) TALKING promoter to pull one over on us....The QUOTES are ENDLESS regarding the Hearns SIDE-STEPPING Wilder.....Lennox & Ray Leonard couldnt take it any more and had to SPEAK OUT!....so will ALL the Americans!....PUNK TENDER BREEZE AJ has GOTSTA REPRESENT!!! We can START with him and HIS teams self identifying PUNK QUOTES

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