    But "Nobody knows Joshua in America".

    Interesting that an American organisation is willing to offer $500 million to a 'nobody'.

    That would be the worst business decision in history. 1 fight, 1 loss and everyone admits Joshua is a boxer not an MMA fighter, everyone immediately loses interest and the UFC have just shelled out half a billion.

    They’re not stupid guys, they’re not the kind of organisation that would just go and offer someone like oh I don’t know, CM Punk, a multi-million multi-fight deal...

    You clearly didn't bother to read this...
    Dana White has a Boxing promotion.

    75% of UFC guys have to pick up day jobs because the sport doesn't pay enough to live on

    Dana White is every bit the no integrity crook as Arum and King.

    The UFC is using boxing for publicity, think about it

    "floyd to UFC"
    "joshua to UFC"

    Both will never happen, but it gets people talking about the UFC so more people google it and tune in. Its all about money.

    Lol Ronda losing and McGregor cashing in basically killed the UFC. This is why Dana didn't want Conor to box Floyd. After tasting 100m, why the **** would he want to go back to the UFC for 1/10 the paychecks.

    His contract is up with Hearn.

    I hear Brock's coming back. Y'all let me believe Brock Lesnar vs Anthony Joshua might be a thing.

    Why do you say that the ufc is dying? Is it? I barely pay any attention to mma but just assumed they’re doing ok with their monopoly.

    There's also some guff about Hearn. I think this is just a ploy from White trying to drum up some noise for the UFC because no outlet will pick them up. If the UFC is trying to take AJ from Hearn then that's a legal problem.
