Anthony Joshua against any world top 10 opponent sells out Wembley Stadium

Mark, You're always posting about Aj being better than someone. Face it. Fury > Aj. Lewis > Aj. Ali > Aj. Prime Wlad > Aj. Vitali > Aj. Holmes > Aj.

 

Fury never ducked Aj. The arbitration was in favor of Wilder and now Fury has to clap that ass a third time. Nothing wrong with that. Aj in the meantime will get schooled by Usyk.

 

So why did Fury announce to his fans the fight with Joshua would definitely take place on August 14, only for the court to rule him to fight Wilder a few days later...

Seems pretty coincidental

 

Regards selling out Wembley, maybe maybe not, but Hearn will still move it to Arabia and a few hundred towel heads if they pay more. Little Thatcherite that he is.

 

tbh, were I a british fan I would be mad as hell too if hearns moves the fight to arabia. You guys cant be blamed for that. You are even too polite, I think, I would be saying more rude words, I guess..... involving a lot of mothers and all that stuff...

 

If Fury had decided to be a World Champion boxer after defeating Wlad, rather than taking the "poor old me" route that he took then AJ would certainly not have become star billing.

Fury had the ultimate prize jewel in his mighty mitts, and he showed utter disdain for it, that was his choice. By doing so he left a void, AJ and his team filled that void and reaped the financial rewards, what right minded boxer and his team wouldn't do that if they could?

Was Fury giving boxing fans World title fights to watch between 2016 and 2018 no, but a certain Antony Joshua was, AJ won world title and defended it 6 times in space of time that Fury was not in a world title bout.

Yes AJ has a powerful promotion team but no matter how powerful a promoter is they cannot market a fighter (Fury) who was not fighting, but instead was gorging on food, drugs and alcohol and jive talking on social media.

I am not AJs biggest fan, I recognise his limitations but am not going to criticise him for making the most of opportunities that present themselves.

 

Fury-Wilder 2 generated more at the gate than any of AJ's fights at Wembley, including Wlad.

Vegas high-rollers > British fans

Easy to sell out a stadium when you're selling tickets for $100.

 

Selling out Wembley really does not equate to a lot of live gate $$ when tickets are not bringing a lot of money.

 

Stop getting so emotionally invested

 

I'd still be amazed that that the 17,698 (which there was a lot of reports on social media clamining the true attendance was no where near the official reported) earned anywhere near compared to 90,000 even if the general tickets of the nose bleeder sections were more expensive.
