    It's sick with all the social media

    John Doe could get a few million followers and sell more than 99% of fighters

    If Floyd fights some popular mma guy next year he will make another fortune

    Most in the USA see Joshua as a Glass Jawed Body Builder...

    but lots of Brits here buying Joshua's fights, I bet the bulk of those PPV buys were Brits in the USA.

    I have an Irish cousin that moved to the states years ago and he can never come home, or he will never be allowed back

    The bum must work cash in hand or eat out of bins or something

    Probably an Aj fan as well lol

    AJ should get more. What that split should be is debatable but he defiently deserves the lionshare.

    The first Ruiz fight did 400k buys plus 1.6 mil is 2 million.

    Now of course a fight vs Fury or Wilder will do huge numbers and both contribute massively.

    Ok but if Fury v Wilder hits 500-700k us buys and over a million uk, should the winner not get 50-50?

    Or at least 45-55

    If Aj is the best, he will be happy to prove it and get more money in the process

    This means AJ has made a mega fortune from this fight probably close to £70 Million when you add in the monies the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia threw into the pot plus DAZN fees etc. No wonder Wilder is pissed off.

    Like I said there should be a split. That 45-55 and wanting to to prove one is the best cuts both ways.

    I've never understood the argument that AJ should settle for less but Wilder or Fury don't need too.

    I think if Fury beats Wilder he might be worthy 50-50

    Never understimate the wwe run and the numerous interviews about is depression

    My mum is even a fan now lol

    I think Fury is gaining a huge following now

    Time will tell soon

    Fury will defiently have more claim than Wilder simply because an AJ v Fury fight in London breaks every record possible.

    The U.K. would stop I reckon.

    2.5 - 3 million buys easily.
