    This was written in one newspaper today.

    Anthony Joshua's four fights which packed out Wembley and cardiffs principality stadium in 2017 2018 were a genuine phenomenon.
    Support was off the scale of anything previously seen for a British boxer.
    Yet anyone wanting to attend his rematch with ruiz Jr on December 7th must travel to Saudi Arabia, a state where human rights are primitive and which is also completely dry of alcohol, rather putting the kibosh on the idea of a big night out.
    And if you want to watch from home, PPV will set you back a whopping £25.00.

    As an object lesson in abusing the loyalty of fans, this takes some beating...

    Well written I say and couldn't agree more.

    Which publication? Putting the kibosh is a very odd phrase to be using.

    I really hope this PPV tanks bigtime for you Brits, or next big Joshua fight will set you back £30. It's like in the US with Floyd... "It's only $5 or 10 more"... next fight "This is a big fight, so it's a one off"... next fight "If you're too poor to pay $80...." ...next fight "It's the biggest fight ever, of course it's $100"

    There is absolutely zero chance this bombs:

    Joshua is the most popular boxer Britain has ever had in terms of selling PPV's.

    It's a massively intriguing fight that a lot of people think is 50/50.

    It's on at peak time in the UK.

    It's abroad and barely anyone will go to it.

    Net result is it'll do huge business. Ignore the perennial moaners on here. The target market is groups of lads in their 20's and 30's who will watch it with their mates. None of them are going to see a fiver increase as a deal breaker.
