Comments Thread For: Hearn: Many Options, But Joshua Wants To Box Back in UK

[Yoseph]

If they do what you say...Joshua would remain a British fighter not an international phenom. Nobody, except diehards like us, pay any attention to what goes on in the British Boxing scene, but most people follow the US scene and fighters. To become international, he has to come to America a few more times. It's like Bollywood...the top actors are known by 1B Indians but are still not a popular as Brad Pitt who never made a bolly film.

Exactly he needs to come to the US and fight. People follow what the US is doing not the UK lol

Jake the boxer, sorry I just don’t believe you.

Pulev is not a bigger name, a better fighter and should not be higher ranked than Luis Ortiz. Didn’t Pulev struggle with Rydell Booker? Who tuned in for that one?

And are you telling me AJ vs Pulev would draw more viewers than AJ vs Ortiz? Stop bro this is crazy talk.

He likely fights Pulev next. Pulev is bigger name than Wilder`s last opponent.

I thought he wanted to take over America?

UK fast becoming the home of the drug cheats and dodgy officials.
Perfect place for AJ to hide.

The DAZN app needs big shows in America in order to increase American subscriptions.

So far Eddie Hearn hasn't produced in that area.

If im Joshua im coming back to US. Lets be real you will never be big only fighting over in UK.

Hate it or love it. You have to fight in Vegas

Plus last time he fought in US he got dismantled

“Eddie says Joshua says” is the most common headline on this forum.

Does Joshua ever speak for himself?

WTF... Hide our hero. “God save the King,” strategy is this? Never saw a plainer duck endorsement? Man you guys have raisins for balls. 😂😂😂

Yep let others come to the ducker. They surely get their biggest payday when they leave their countries and stop “Hiding”

That may be true to a point. Lennox Lewis and Fury would beg to differ. Look at great fighters like Carl Froch and David Haye and Joe Calzaghe. Imagine what they might have been had they had a few more fights in the US. Pacquaio's fame exploded in the US. Roy Jones and Mayweather, who fought exclusively in the US are more international than Joshua. The reach of the American media is global as opposed to sky sports. But to your point, maybe with DAZN that may change. good discussion though.

Lewis, Fury never made what Joshua generates in revenue. You go where the money is. Lewis and Fury have to take their talents to the bigger market for them.

Joshua doesn’t really need to, be can generates more money outside of America, he has just proven that with fighting an unknown American/Mexican in Saudi Arabia.

If Joshua has an American rival that brings anything close to that then off course make going to America your priority.
