Because if they’re not, Hearns daddy Skipper can cut them funds off....

There 329 million people in the US.
About 68 million in the UK.
The reason your arenas are always full is because you a nation of 68 million crammed into an area about the size of California.
If the US is irrelevant, then why is Hearn working his arse off to build Matchroom USA?
Very ignorant remark

Not convinced Usyk would beat Pulev.

As an American I'm starting to wonder if Anthony needs America just made anywhere from 60-85m USD fighting in Saudi Arabia. Can you imagine the money an AJ vs fury fight would bring in in England or better yet Saudi Arabia or UAE. Wilder is on the outside looking in all honesty in the rematch vs fury is wilder goes head hunting the whole time like the first fight hell lose. If wilder mixed up the punch selection behind the jab and goes with more body shots then goes head hunting then he'll win. But I'm iffy on that for fury in better shape would know jab clinch move stay out of wilders range plus wilder isn't that good of a technical fighter to know to set up better shots behind the jab and attack the body more . Like I've said 1k times common sense styles make fights plus fight iq fury beats wilder loses to AJ . AJ beat fury loses to wilder, wilder beats AJ loses to fury

Joshua should fight Pulev first before Usyk.

[Scopedog]

Pulev then Usyk seems the most logical, with Usyk fighting Chisora around the same time Joshua fights Pulev (could do both on the same bill.) Might be tricky to make all of that happen before the six month deadline is up but I think it's probably the best sequence of events and will hopefully still allow for a big unification fight with Wilder or Fury sometime before the end of 2020.

Hearn is working his ass off there because 80% of the worlds best boxers come from there and always have so he is trying to generate a new module of live streaming of boxing.
The us fighters are not appreciated in your country now and ppv has died and arenas are half full that’s a fact and it’s not ignorant.
I have been in awe of American fighters since the early 80’s so I am not ignorant towards the USA fighters.
The fact is the money is outside America unless your a Mayweather, Pacquiao or canelo.

Pulev is another good confidence building fight for AJ, probably the right thing to do for him career wise, if unfortunately not the mega fight everyone wants to see. Pulev is tailor made for AJ, tall, upright and old!

Think AJ will be glad of that after the likes of Parker and Ruiz.

It’d almost be worth fighting Pulev in the US to get that monkey off his back before heading back there for a big fight.

Usyk will be good to see even though he is much smaller. But, at least, he has good skills, is fast, and agile. Does he have the power to hurt AJ? or the reach to get in close? However, Eddie will most probably vacate that belt and go with Pulev instead.

Pulev fight is a complete waste of time with zero interest. The only thing to watch out for during that fight is if he kisses another presenter. It's unfortunate such low-level fighters can become mandatory. The even bigger joke is Manuel Charr still the "regular champion", whatever that is...and he hasn't fought since 2017.

[Adamsc151]

Fight Pulev late March or early April, ask WBO for extension of up to a month under proviso of guaranteed next fight by end of July. May even have a shot at doing the Undisputed fight by Xmas 2020 if Wilder and Fury are finished with their double dutch rudder by then.
