    Works along the lines of a sign in a bar that reads FREE BEER TOMORROW.

    Your whole long-winded post is one, huge sentence.
    Furthermore, your use of parentheses is atrocious.

    Shameful English from yourself

    I wish the BBC had some say in boxing, but they don't. Where's the money. Sky has it, not Eddie. BBC don't have the kind of money for this sort of stuff. Funding an AJ fight for the BBC would be impossible, cause the BBC don't have the balls to put their money where their mouth is. Their highest paid stars are getting like 1 million-ish. Compare that to sky and you'll find the BBC can only pay peanuts cause they only have peanuts available.

    And not to mention, their coverage of a fight would be even worse than Sky. They'd just ramble on about 'confidence' this and 'confidence' that like the rest of the sport coverage they do. It's all about confidence, that's all the pundits say. Forget skill and brains, no...this is about confidence. I hope for the good of boxing that Eddie doesn't even go anywhere near that nonsense organisation.

    Fast Eddie will move Josh the Boss across to the deeper pockets at HBO.

    I'm calling Miller as his next opponent (despite what is being said publicly).

    Miller needs to stay focused & beat that Frog.

    UFC is gonna co-promote Joshua's next boxing match with Hearn. There will be UFC fights on the undercard (little known fighters, the UFC matches will take place in the same boxing ring, no octagon). This will allow UFC guys and boxers to fight on the same card and generate interest in more PBF/Connor style megafights in the future.

    I'm guessing you guys haven't watched his latest IFL interview? He's referring to a deal with Deontay for the undisputed championship, and the three week deadline is just the fact that deals and exemption applications have to be sorted out fairly soon otherwise the WBA orders purse bids for the Povetkin mandatory.

    Some interesting theories though :D. Keep at it.

    That wasn't a joke at all? Roy Jones Jr's last fight was the same format as I described and the crowd liked it. And the UFC has expressed interest in promoting one of Joshua's fights in the future, so that's my guess

    Hearn will be insisting on at at least a 80/20 purse split in Joshua’s favour since he will be the one with all the belts, worldwide commercial endorsements and PPV history while Ali in 1968, was just a draft dodging inactive boxer. :dunno
