    They will just close the top tiers and move everyone forward.

    It's becoming a farce now buying a ticket in advance, so many going cheap or free the week before.

    He has had a training camp, but probably not a funded camp with nutritionist and S&C specialist, more than likely would have been similar to an amateur boxer camp.

    Even with a full camp he’d unlikely do anything special. Helenius is more shot then Whyte and Chisora there’s next to no risk unless Helenius pulls off a punch from the gods Andy Ruiz style but even that is unlikely because Ruiz took one to give one, Helenius will melt if he takes one

    Will be a complete walkover. It’s a waste of time.

    I put this earlier in this thread, but it’s been reported as £1.5 million
    I think that does seem somewhat steep tbh.

    thanks Ziggy appreciated. Not a bad payday, suspect that is more than ten times what he earned last weekend.

    Surely Helenius isn’t getting that much?!

    He’s robbing Eddie blind if that’s the case. Bet he would do it for a third of that.

    he needs to save money by getting tips off Frank - just don't pay the fighters fully after a la Woodhouse

    He's saving the show and is pretty much his last pay day. Not to mention he never really got to the stage to have a proper pay day to begin with. It's not a bad retirement cheque. Has a good chance of getting a decent second pay day agianst Chisora too depending on how the fights turn out. I don't think it's that terrible. the 'PPV' has been canceled remember. Wink, wink, say no more. I tap my nose and you tap your nose and we say nothing to the wifey about the £20 subscription fee. It'll be our dirty little secret. :tapsnose: That's a lot of wonga from that alone nevermind the tickets at the stadium. To save the show is worth a lot.

    I never like to bet on odds on favourites and doubt whether Joshua has still got any spite left in him.

    However, going off how easily Helenius' was comatosed against Wilder I have had a dabble at Joshua between 1 and 3 at 4/1.

    I know Wilder is a much bigger puncher than AJ but he hardly landed on Helenius and he was out for the count.

    According to Gareth Davies on Talk Sport a minute ago, there’s a rematch clause!
    Whoops, I missed out th “A” in his name!
