Yes, like Kovalev and Ortiz. Hopefully Hearn will be wise enough to insist the fight be in the UK. Joshua is the "A" side, the man with multiple titles, the real heavyweight champion. And the fight will make more money in the UK.
I will say that it will be Parker vs Wilder at Las Vegas in January 2019.. . . . It makes sense because Wilder is American and Parker lives in Las Vegas and Vegas is the fight capitol of the world. (and oh by the way Parker defeats Joshua on the 31st.)
None of you UK fans know where the fight will be. Joshua is about as unknown to Americans as awikder is to UK fans. The hope that you get to see a real hbw fight comes down to where the fight will make the most money. I don’t know any UK stars who would pay mucho dinero for a ring side seat in the UK but I do know that American stars will pay for a seat in Vegas. And the gate would be huge. Joshua’s gates are never huge. He’s robbing the public fighting bums and old men and trying to delay the Wilder fight.
Fanboys Exist In Boxing. How many 8 figure paydays has AJ had? His fights barely gross 8 figures. When sky take half (at least), you pay for the stadium and promotion, Hearn takes his cut and you pay the AJ corporate machine, that roid monster ain't regularly taking home 8 figures. Klitschko would have got half also. You're delusional. Plus American fighters don't want to work with Hearn. He doesn't have any of note. Al Haymon, Bob Arum, Oscar and Main Events are all bigger than Hearn and that won't change any time soon. Now tell me how many of the top 50 gates in boxing have been in the UK compared to the US? Stop talking about tickets sold, start thinking about actual money. Exactly my point. AJ fans would take over Vegas and make the casinos crazy money, meaning they'll give the promoters crazy money to stage the fight. Wembley Stadium don't give Hearn sh*t. He pays them. You're an uneducated fool. All the fighters you named make the overwhelming majority of their PPV money in the US. As did Cotto, DLH, Chavez, Mosely, RJJ, Lenox, Tyson and every other PPV star in history. Matchroom needs to sell 4-5 PPVs to make the same revenue as 1 US PPV, and they need to do it to a much much smaller population. That's why they make f*ck all compared to the stars on HBO and Showtime. AJ has multiple paper belts. He's fighting another paper champion now. He's not lineal and his only notable win was a life and death fight with a 41 year old coming off a loss and a 2 year lay off. You can't argue with logic. Stop trying.
Was the Ortiz stoppage "British stoppage"? Ortiz said afterwards he wasn`t hurt so how come the ref stopped the fight?
UK is a poor place compared to US, but joshua is a superstar there , while nobody knows who windmill is in US
Is he a superstar in the UK? Didn’t he get beaten into 4th place a couple of months ago in the uk’s annual sporting personality awards voted by the British public? Beaten by Farah a athlete long suspected of using PEDS and a couple of other guys that no one has ever heard of.
Really? http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Floyd_Mayweather_Jr._vs._Ricky_Hatton I don't understand why you compare Wilder with Floyd/Pacquiao, Wilder has only one worthy name in ршы resume, Wilder is nothing in compare with Floyd/Pacquiao or even Hatton.
None of that matters, the fact is that fighters have and always will make more money in the US than they will in the UK. All those fights took place in the US. Who in the UK has made that kind of money at any time in their life or career. The big money is here and there's no disputing that. You can try and put a slant on it, twist it, squeeze it or whatever but the facts speak for themselves.
That stoppage looked exactly like what they like to call a British stoppage, they were fine to delay the fight to make sure Wilder wasnt hurt in a fight but Ortiz got waved off straight away, ref didnt want to look in his eyes, ref didnt want to give him a count as if he was out cold but he was in the middle of getting up.
