Eddie Big Announcement

But i dont think he fully understands that.I saw interviews he done on Thursday and he says he wants to make Boxing in the US "Sexy and a Night Out" it dosent work like that in the US.It's a complete different demographic and way of life to be honest.African Americans and Mexican Americans are the highest viewers in regards to Boxing in the US so he needs to be targeting them.When i hear him say "he wants to make it a night out" i cringe as the UK and US is very different in that respect

 

Maybe but i just dont see how AJ cracks America to anywhere near the same level he has the UK.

He just doesn't have the opponents to give him the launch pad needed imo.

 

He already has to an extent. I was in America 2 months ago and there was multiple posters I seen in and around LA (under armour). Didn’t see one of another boxer. Heavyweight boxing is the pinnacle of our sport and when you’re the king of the heavyweight division you’re going to be known worldwide.

 

I would be very suprised if anybody outside of hardcore boxing fans know who AJ is in America

 

Well be very surprised then.

 

Ask anybody in America if they know who AJ is, they will simply say does that come with double fries with cheese and a diet coke.

 

Are you seriously saying he is well.known in America?

 

I told you there was going to be some big names signed...

Selby Warrington or Saunders Murray (I can’t remember which one) is live in the US on the ESPN app.

 

Flanagan gets the belt then it’s defo a possibility. Loma steps up to get another belt in another weight class? You’ve seen Loma’s manager and Eddie flirting a lot in regards to Luke Campbell so he’s more than likely keen to come here.

 

I'm with you on this one.

Joshua's popularity success in the UK is rooted in the fact that he has been sold as the boy next door to some extent. He can't become the boy next door in America because, of course, he isn't American.

He also has the misfortune to be in an era with a clear lack of depth and beyond Fury and Wilder he won't, as you say, have the opponents required to generate enough interest to keep him Stateside.

 

UN should use Eddie to broker a peace deal between Israel and Palestine
