    That is obscene, no wonder they've had to put this guff on PPV.

    Good for Charles I say. Nice work if you can get it.

    Imagine Eddie's face if Martin pulls it off. It'll be a picture.

    Really? No wonder he looks so laid back and relaxed, he clearly couldn't give a **** what happens from here on in. He's a pretty average fighter who just won the lottery big time.

    He'll be able to buy some more bling from Ratners.

    He's getting paid more than two ****py title defenses. Worth the risk. Martin is a garden variety, big man.

    Joshua wins easily.

    Of course its a cashout but do you blame him. £6 mil is a great pay day for him and again it shows that Sky and Matchroom see Joshua as a the #1 cash cow as putting up £6 mil to Martin is a huge amount.

    Are these figures right. 300,000 PPV’s at £16.95 is about 5 mil in revenue.

    What does the gate generate?

    Source?

    If it's true then fair play. Rather see the money going in the fighters pockets than the promoters.

    I'd say roughly £1.5m - £2m. Don't think the numbers add up here but you never know...

    Think it will do 700-800,000 ppvs as AJ is hugely popular with casuals so don't surprise me.
