    God forbid if Miller beats AJ, he will still remain unknown in the USA but will become a household name in the UK at least!!!

    Do you really believe he is getting 32m for fighting Miller? Honestly?

    As I said, I don't blame him for taking the deal, but I have doubts as to his long-term appeal.

    It's all well and good coming across well in press conferences or chat shows, but show a crowd of people the Klitschko Fury fight and most of them will think it was utterly boring.

    DAZN seem to have big money and throwing it round. I know what Rocky got for Canelo and you seen what Canelo got just from signing with them.

    Also bare in mind it’s less than £25 million. 90,000 and Wembley and even low numbers (for Joshua) 700k PPV buys generates him more than that.

    So yeah I definitely do.

    Why not. Remember that’s Sky money as well as DAZN money.

    Maybe...but he’s just fought Wilder in America and it was a very dramatic, enthralling contest. This is a fighter who will take risks, who will stand in front of huge punchers with his hands behind his back, making them miss by fractions of a inch. He doesn’t deliver the knockouts that your AJ’s and Wilder’s do...that’s something that will hopefully happen.

    I would be suprised if the fight generates $40m. Unless DAZN are seriously overpaying there is no way Joshua get $32m

    It's laughable isn't it. They'd believe he was getting 80 million if Eddie said it enough.

    Hearn never said it. Boxing sites however did so maybe you should aim your gun at them.

    Ah yes, because fans don't extrapolate and speculate from the info he provides. My mistake *tips Fedora*

    As all three fighters are already multi-millionnaires, no more excuses from any of the three about money.

    If it means 50/50 split then all three should get on with it FFS - they are all getting very well paid with bags and bags of PPV loot extracted from the PPV mugths.

    Top fights not happening will result in the masses turning away and losing complete interest in boxthing.

    Why’s it so absurd that Joshua will earn £25 million stateside with a big money backer PLUS Sky PPV, When he got in excess of £20mil for the Povetkin fight?!

    Hearn said on IFL it would be AJ's biggest payday. Sky will generate good money but DAZN are obviously supplementing at a big loss. No skin off AJ/Matchrooms's nose. Remains to be seen how long DAZN can afford to do so and will they be a success long term.

    The Humble One is a manufactured fake brand Toni - the fighters know it, Eh Day knows it and the public know it.

    Fury for all his faults is genuine.
