    This will sell enough to keep Sky happy
    Which is a shame as it means more trash served up over the coming months

    I get more revenue streams blah blah but with DAZN fronting so much of the money for this fight it would have been a nice gesture to have it free
    Maybe even offer it on the cheap

    I’m cool with the fight.
    If Miller gets through the first 3 rounds relatively unscathed and still confident, he’s likely to be a fcuking problem for AJ.

    miller is 300lb and conditioned to take punishment from his kickboxing days, new environment for AJ and everything that goes with it = It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if AJ lost.

    I would be shocked of AJ lost. Miller is garbage. It would rank up there with the biggest upsets of all time

    That's a great point. Would like to hear Hearn try and justify that as anything other than greed. I'm sure Tony Matchroom will come along shortly and give it a try.

    How? It won't bomb like Wilder vs Fury did. AJ is the most popular UK fighter in my lifetime and has several all time highest UK PPV ratings.

    You do realise Wilder Fury done around 80k UK buys? Done 400+ world wide. 320 were in USA it was later revealed.

    So what’s the marker?

    Get real. Even if by some miracle he makes the final bell he's getting stiffed on the cards.

    Yafai is a unification
    Dont care about Taylor
    Coyle v Algeri could be a good watch

    No it won't.

    Let's be honest here; people like the idea of it bombing, and they like the idea of Joshua losing and then barely being able to sell a ticket, and Hearn crying into his beer.

    But that won't happen. There's just no evidence to suggest it will. Joshua is the biggest attraction in British boxing in god knows how long. If he loses, and remember that Hatton lost and Lewis lost and Bruno lost as did Benn and Eubank and Froch and Khan and almost all of these who did massive business and were household names, then so what? They all lost and remained massive. Some of them got even bigger.

    Wow! Taylor vs persoon is actually quite a big deal, she holds all the other belts. I’ll be amazed if that fight happens.
