AJ could have become boxings first billionarre but this joke of a division does not have enough class or depth to enable that to happen.
And that's just his guarantee, once PPV sales percentage is added it will be a lot more lol. Joshua also has a truck load of endorsement deals from Under Armour to Beats by Dr Dre to Jaguar etc. Joshua is definitely the cash cow of boxing at the moment along with Canelo.
I checked the Forbes top 100 paid athletes list from June 2016 to May 2017: #43 Canelo Alvarez PAY: $28.5M SALARY: $27M ENDORSEMENTS: $1.5M #89 Anthony Joshua PAY: $22M SALARY: $18.5M ENDORSEMENTS: $3.5M #98 Wladimir Klitschko PAY: $21.5M SALARY: $17.5M ENDORSEMENTS: $4M
AJ is a frugal guy, smart with his money. You hardly see him with fancy clothes and living a lavish lifestyle spent by his own money. He will be a billionaire within the next 7 years and use the money for charity and stuff. He might be eventually responsible for the rise of boxing in the US again. People want to see a character like him in the world of boxing!
Despite being a generally jealous and bitter guy (lol) i'm pleased for AJ. He works hard, is willing to learn, takes out a lot of time for the fans and does his best.
AJ is going to make Big Money. Also note that he is very careful not to be overly flash and he stays away from any committment with women, as he knows a rich man and his money is easily parted by a gold digging ho. He saw what happened to those who are getting divorce smashed (Amir Khan), and others who have not wrapped it up (Holyfield) He is going to build up some financial legacy, and he is not going to end up broke and having to come back and lose fights later in his career because he was a stupid boy.
I really want the Joshua v Wilder fight in Las Vegas,no matter what anyone says about Wembley,Las Vegas is number one.But it has to be PPV over their for it to happen,please Americans just buy the fight,What would be a reasonable price which would mean close to a 1m buy the fight? The Original Plan was ruined,Klitschko Joshua 2 was meant to be the introduction to the US Audience,but Hearn has done well with the roadblocks which have been put up in front of him, along with Pulev/Takam
Unlike Joshua, Fury has never been obsessed with chasing the money or becoming a boxing billionaire. He’s happy with his life. Spending time with his growing family, trips to his favourite buffets in town whenever he wants and out hunting hedgehogs with his friends.
