    'We can't tell you the number last night because it's too early but the record was 1.5million for Manny Pacquiao against Floyd Mayweather (in 2015 UK PPV). Last night beat that for sure.' - Hearn

    Joshua is the new biggest name in world boxing.

    Fair play to him

    Whether you like him or not you've got to give him credit for that

    Amazing really, I expected it to do more than Froch Groves but wasn't sure if it would beat Hatton/Mayweather or Pac/Mayweather.

    Great stuff.

    I remember some poster on here tried to claim Mayweather v Pacquiao flopped over here.

    1.5 mil for a fight at 4am not involving an UK fighter is unbelievable!!!

    AJ v Vlad doing over that is crazy.

    Fury v Vlad did 430k and AJ has completely obliterated that. He is a human money printing machine. Killing it!!!

    If Fury wants the fight AJ should offer him 30%. He doesn't deserve no 50/50

    Where are the posters who claim ppv is all bad and Warren and BT sport will take over.........

    It helps now non Sky subscribers can order it on the internet as well as I'd hoped they would do for ages

    I can't see Joshua getting $20m purses for lesser names. The Brit casuals knew this was a mega fight and it delivered.

    He'll get similar for Fury and Wilder, maybe even Haye if he comes back.

    Maybe for Wilder and Fury, but Haye will need to talk some amount of trash to get near those numbers. A Let's Go Champ campaign by Haye needed.

    Absolutely fantastic news and the best thing about all of it is I thought the main event actually lived up to the hype, it was entertaining, dramatic and most importantly PPV worthy.

    The undercard was a pig but that seemed to fade from my memory after the main event.

    The undercard was beyond awful, good lord.

    Yeah before the main event i was a bit disappointing. More so than a usual matchroom card. Normally at least one fight i wanna see.

    AN article on bbc.co.uk about AJ becoming boxing's first billionaire. Yes he is on top of the world right now but in boxing, that could all change with a loss. Look at Rhonda Rousey, from hero to zero in a few losses

    Na one loss wouldn't kill it.

    It's all about entertainment. People tune into AJ fights and buy tickets as his fights deliver entertainment.
