    AJ is ducking Fury

    If the promoter and money men want it in the US then that's where it should happen

    AJ has no UK fans anymore anyway, dubious took them all when he chinned him

    I'm not sure it matters if Joshua has fans or not (I would imagine that he does). The fight is big enough that it would still sell, and Fury would also have a large fan base.

    Is Joshua by determining the final say, trying to show who the landlord is?

    How do you sign for a fight then be called someone that is ducking?

    Interesting

    Beat Hrgovic because he beat a future star that he had no interest in facing
    Fight Hrgovic in Hrgovics home country and then be able to say he has won another world title on the road

    I could see this coming

    Well, having them fight on Netflix on a Friday night in the US ... and it costs me nothing extra (I already have Netflix) ... sounds just fine to me.

    The audience would be huge. Especially on a Friday night.

    Moving it to the UK, holding it on a Saturday, where they'll have an eight-hour undercard featuring nobodies, and charging $100 US sounds awful. Those never-ending undercards just suck. They aren't like Don King undercards where he'd have four or five major title fights on a show. It's just crap, mostly.

    Plus, November is the height of the College Football season, so people in the US will be watching those games for free instead.

    Friday night on Netflix is the way to go. It would likely lead most sports broadcast coverage in the US if they did. If it was on Saturday during the day in the UK, while all the big college games are happening in the US, the fight would be an afterthought. All the football highlights would steal the focus.
