We see Fury, Wilder and Joshua as champions. Fury has to get past Wlad in the rematch. Wilder Povekin. Fury was on track to meet Wilder after Wlad if Wilder gets past Povetkin. If AJ gets a strap....then an all brit unification fight could possibly TOP a unification against Wilder. Fury vs Joshua would be MASSIVE in the UK as well as selling good around the world. Methinks that'd top Fury vs Wilder...or maybe not to the US fan ? Still all this could go pear shaped and Wlad KOs Fury to show him to have been no more than flash in the pan...and Wilder could get his ass handed to him off Povetkin. Even AJ is not 100% sure to beat Martin. But at least now we have a division that is opening up nicely and starting to look good for the fans again!
he can do better and FIGHT AJ and show the world he is better if he wants!! It will be the most OBVIOUS HUGE MONEY MAKING PPV UK unification.
the alphabets are all on the take. dont know why the american justice system does not crack down on the ibf as it is in there juridiction and it might get the others into line if they did promoters give backhanders to officials who get there fighters rated / its so obvious it happens. 1 moment a fighter is not ranked / next he is the opponent and gets a ranking. its all bull**** and not done on merit. it also gives promoters the exciuse to make **** gimmee fights time and time again.
boxnation imo is bad for boxing and so is PPV but boxing in my lifetime has always been the second most popular nighttime sport in the uk after football all the fights that you now pay for were all on for free with packed arenas and 17 million viewers. its only the money we have to pay that keeps the numbers down david haye got 4 million viewers on dave / what would it have been if it was on itv as it used to be albeit i could not stand jim rosenthal.
at the moment the cash cows of the heavyweight division fury and Joshua are based in the uk. everyone has to come there if they want to earn money
I wouldn't call Fury a cash cow just yet. He made about the same as Joshua did in his last fight against Wlad and Wlad would have brought in much of the revenue for that fight being the far bigger draw. Fury has never shown he can draw as much as Joshua has on his name alone. Though I suspect that now he is seen as the true heavyweight champion his fan base will likely grow but until he headlines a card himself as champion without another bigger draw as the opponent we won't know how big a draw he really is on his own. Povetkin is also a big cash cow with a promoter willing to throw big money behind him, which is why he was Wlad's most lucrative fight by far. Though if Haye continues winning he could be another British heavy who will be drawing big numbers and big purses again. In terms of heavyweight boxing the UK may very well be the most lucrative market.
There he is Mr Fake Brit. You gave yourself away earlier when you called a mother a 'mom' you are a butthurt Yank Eddie Hearn did your mum :happy
