    Different ball game though isn't it. Joshua is extremely popular, sells out arenas and the casual fan wants to see him fight. The highest ratings boxing shows on sky sports are those that involve Joshua fighting.

    Hearn has already said his blown away buy the numbers so a flop it wasn't.

    I have to agree with you it's very strange.

    2 weeks after the Fury fight, not long before Christmas and this card got a lot of bad publicity as a PPV event.

    I reckon more people in UK will have paid PPV for Joshua than did for Fury

    I dont agree with that but could be wrong! Fury was in a world title fight against the main man in the division.

    Fury has a bit of character is a bit mental is usually in entertaining fights.

    I have no issues with AJ and hope he is the next Brit / World champ but he's not got the same appeal as Fury IMO.

    Nonsense. Big space of time when boxing was massive in UK with Eubank Benn Bruno and Lewis. Look at Calzaghe the man on street never know him until near end of career, same with Froch until he went with Matchroom. Boxing is growing again with Hearn/Sky playing main roles, helped with IFL videos.

    Hearn said in an IflTV interview after the Whyte vs Joshua fight that Wlad vs Fury did more PPVs.

    A great night of boxing IMO. When I read this comments like this I do laugh!! so what fighters lose ( bad night, caught cold, lost concentration)as long as test themselves regularly come out healthy they learn and come back better to me that's what matters I don't care if a fighter has a 10 loses I go to a lot of these fights but if I didn't I would have paid to watch this event,

    as for Joshua I am not a fan of his but you guys trying taking a flush punch to the jaw from a 17 stone professional fighter and not wobble as for his fitness he has had 15 pro fights he is still learning.
