Anthony Joshua to be the most popular sportsman ever!

So much jealousy in this thread. So much ***** envy. So much small man anger. So much belly flab.

 

The plain fact is that almost every pro boxer is keen to cosy up to Mayweather, it's excellent publicity, especially if you can get Floyd to say nice things about you.

 

no neither do i, much better than screaming about money and how good they are. i was just commenting on the person who says they don't like AJ because of Islam

 

Yes, I realized that

 

spot on post!

may not be the most popular but you never know. he has some goods years left

 

mayweather vs pac did like 4 million buys

 

not in the UK though, think it did 1.6 in the UK

EDIT: it was for the Hatton fight and it was actually 1.4m

 

fair, not a good comparisson though as it was non uk fighters at 4am, it still did more than AJ WLad though

 

What bothers you about Wilder? Why does he irritate you so much. What has he done to you?

 

And they did PPV in the US as well.
All this proves is how big AJ is in the UK.

 

i'm not saying AJ isn't a huge star but in usa may vs pac sold over 4 million ppv's, a lot more than AJ vs Wlad

 

Congrats if he does do so.
But the Floyd-Pacquiao fight was not in the UK. Heck, neither has ever fought there. It was at 5am and they sold over 1m. (surprisingly it was also PPV in other regions).

And the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was nearly 4 times as expensive as Joshua-Klitchko.

You are making stupid comparisons when you are trying to undermine Floyds PPV records.
Lets wait til Joshuas next fight and then see how many PPVs he can sell at 5am.

 

Wilder hasn't done anything to me but I don't come on here making post after post or threads abusing Wilder, You do with AJ.

Yes I criticise Wilder because I think he deserves criticism, that's all, I don't single out Wilder, I have before and will again criticise Joshua. I have questioned other fighters too, fighters I like, no fighter should be above criticism.

Even Wilder fans have been on here in recent weeks, months saying things like "I like and rate Wilder but If he fights Stiverne next and don't step it up now then I'm done with him".

I honestly respect that because they are fans but they frustrated, irritated and most importantly honest.

Also I am British but I don't take it personally if people criticise Joshua, if he deserves it then he should be questioned but you seem to take criticism of Wilder personally and try and defend the indefensible.

Wilder should have done and should be doing more after 8 years as a professional, he should fighting far better opposition. After 38 fights I don't think that is too much to ask, do you?


Anyway, I'll ask you again, what is your problem?
