Did AJ/Hearn drop the ball trying to invade USA? Should they have stayed in the UK?

His cash cow ain't so valuable anymore but I don't think it's a disaster for Matchroom, they're building a nice roster of fighters over here.

    The problem for Joshua is that he just ain't as special as he was being hyped up to be. He was going to be found out eventually whether that was in the US or the UK.

      That's uncalled for and not funny at all.

          Picking on one of the few female members of the forum makes you a big guy.

            Mike Tyson's stock increase after defeat, I am not sure why Joshua's can't ether 'Gets the rematch, WIns' and now people like Fury & Wilder will not be afraid to face him.

              Okay, you've kiled my gif. You killed it before it even had a chance to air out. If it was paper I'd posted, you were on it like a randy chihuahua before the ink was even dry. You can move on now.

                AJ has fought and beaten better fighters than Ruiz but this is a case of possibly taking Ruiz lightly, being in camp for a completely different fighter and then having to change tact...the rematch is needed for this one.

                  No, i think the opposite. I think now was the perfect time to make his introductions to the US market. I think if Wilder had took that April date at Wembley the 2nd fight was going to be his 1st fight in the US anyway. What ever people want to try blame that performance from AJ last night on it wont be anything to do with it being in NY. It was always going to happen so now was as good a time as any.

                    With the Money DAZN is paying? NO! However, it can't be just all about the MONEY sometimes because they was already making good money in the UK. EDDIE HEARN got Greedy and used AJ to try and fulfill his GREED! AJ is why he got the Deal with DAZN clearly!

                    This could really change things for the better for AJ but not for Hearn
