    Will he take out there ? Let's say its Vegas 4 belts on the line. Biggest prize in the sport. How many British fans would go. He sells out far bigger arenas than Hatton ever did over here. Would he have a following to take over Vegas?

    To use the US president's term, Joshua would take a YUGE following to the US.

    You think so?

    Hatton's supporters loved him because he was one of them. Joshua is more a spectacle.

    I'm sure Joshua would get a following... But it is different to Hatton surely?

    I'd say Hattons fan base was 90 percent mancunian whereas AJ would draw a more widespread following

    AJ would probably have actual big money spenders in the casinos going over rather then just drunken Mancs who have had to save their giro money for 6 months and not feed their kids.

    Less fans than Hatton, but more VIPs. AJ doesn’t have the vociferous football fan type support Hatton did.

    The plan is to have the first fight in a stadium in the UK and the rematch in the USA.

    Thats all in the contract.

    If Wilder actually wants to sign it....and he only has 1-2 weeks to prove this wasnt a duck.

    Being brutally honest, AJs fans wont travel to the USA like Hattons did, but that doesnt mean its not a big money fight.

    I seriously dont think AJs fans would travel for him in the way Hattons did. It seems Rickys following was because they adored him, I think people are more attracted to the brand of Joshua than the man himself

    made my comment before I saw this, pretty much took the words out of my mouth, definitely a different following

    No venue big enough in America. Vegas would try to cheat Joshua, they are crooks, but Wilder could draw a lot of pigs in Alabama!

    95% of the arena would be behind josh. There will still be a huge oooooh Anthony Joshua.

    Couple of hundred at that, nowhere near the likes of Hatton Bruno etc etc
    Herbie hide when he fought bowe probably took more than Josh will, besides he probably won't go out there anyway, he has it too Cosy in the UK to even contemplate entertaining the thought.

    Reckon Josh Warrington would take more over to the US for a fight than AJ.

    If you mean drunken chavs and football hooligans, i think everyone in here and at Vegas will be pleased.Hatton's fans were embrassing, booing the US national anthem, starting rows in the local area, singing those cringy football songs over and over again, then to top it off Hatton got knocked out badly....Was not a good day for Britain esp as it was built up as America v Britain throughout.Luckily this time, we have got the Mayweather In Joshua and they have got the Hatton in Wilder
