Comments Thread For: Hearn Wants Joshua-Fury, Denies Negotiations Have Begun

[DaNeutral.]

Isn't it funny that the greatest boxing match between two British fighters will take place in the US or Saudi Arabia?

The Great Britain needs to look at itself in the mirror and reevaluate their value for boxing

What the hell does any of that mean? What other nation is selling up to 90 thousand tickets to a fight? What other nation is doing fights that sell 1.5 million PPV sales?

Why is this fight being talked about in Saudi or America? Because Tyson Fury has no British Boxing licence, he won't apply for one and has refused to fight in the UK.

I'm not even bragging about the UK here, America is still the home of Boxing in the world's eyes, I bow to that. But your words ain't making much sense. The UK Boxing scene is doing just fine.

The status quo suits British boxers.

The low price points in the UK have built huge stars with massive incomes from endorsements.

The US generates massive PPV revenue and gate income by charging a ludicrous price point. And as a consequence is a niche market due to limiting its reach. US fighters are nobodies.

British fighters get stardom, wealth and can then cash in the PPV in the US.

Keep it the same I say. It suits the UK fighters.

You got that backwards there pal. US is definitely the one that needs to reevaluate. Which country regularly brings in 500k+ PPV buys (AJ has broke the 1m mark at least three times in his short career)? Which country regularly sells out arenas at 20k+ and stadiums at 60k+? Definitely isn’t the US lol “yea but you earn more money in the US”...really? Wilder-Fury 2 allegedly did 1.2m total buys in the states...and Wilder made, what? 20m? AJ-Klitschko did 1.4m, with AJ pocketing 30m.

“The Great Britain” is doing just fine, and without ripping gullible customers off with terrible PPV events lol

And the only reason Saudi is in play is because they paid AJ 30m extra to go over there. That’s more than what almost every world champion makes per fight

I'm glad the truths come out.
Funny how Aj & Eddie get brave after Wilder finally lost.
Like everyone else i want the fight but I'm also a realist. I'm unsure the belts will be together by the time they meet unless Usyk backs down. Aj fight's so rarely the lad has mandatories stacked & opted for the easy touch old man. Again!
Who say's we'll be able to gather in arenas any time soon.
Stay safe

For wanting to pay peanuts for fights right? I like your analysis but then look at the US and the value they place on boxing. Think about the money 90k people in a stadium can translate to in the US

What's the point of thinking about 90k revenue in the states? It isn't happening. That's the whole point of what I said.

Your comment makes as much sense as Al Haymon telling Wilder 120 million is Floyd Mayweather training camp money. Wilder isn't Floyd and Americans ain't filling stadiums with 90k fans.
