    He’s such a knob, with his ‘a few fights at escaping us in the UK at the moment’. It was that twat who started talking about Saudi fights and how much money they were going to make in the first place since the turn of the year.

    Also he needs to realise I very much doubt Vegas is interested in Anthony Joshua whether he is boxing Deontay Wilder or King Kong. UK fans will not travel to the west coast for him period. No one cares anymore.

    In the world of boxing at the moment he is delivering small fry compared to his competitors. You know, the ones that are small hall or ‘finished Parsons!’.

    I'm not sure that's true. AJ in Vegas is probably the last time anyone gets to do that trip for a UK boxer for a while. A few folk would go, maybe not Hatton levels but a decent crowd.

    Let's face it, AJ is more likely to take a crowd there than Warrington ever was, and the latter was desperate to do it.

    Estimated between 8-10k went to New York when Joshua fought. I know it’s Vegas but Joshua’s star has massively waned since then with 3 defeats, racist speeches and acting a bellend after defeats.

    It's Vegas though. Plenty cokeheads who would love a long weekend booze-up, the boxing is almost secondary. Nowhere near 10k though.

    Fury didn't get that kind of following on his three visits (albeit the pandemic got in the way of the 3rd) but you'd expect a similar number.

    Disgusting matchmaking that fight Thompson miles above his pay grade there anyone could see that.

    Let’s see bud, he certainly has been popular, no one can dispute that.

    I’m not sure if he will box in the US again tbh. He had a disastrous time before and that was the lowest point of his career. I can’t imagine him gagging to go back to box there. Maybe I’m wrong.

    Hardly.

    Take breidis out. Thompson has the better wins on his record. Plus he’s much bigger

    Lol that's a very poor argument. Much bigger? Julius Long is much bigger than every HW out there, doesn't make him any good.

    Opetaia is the real deal. There’s a reason why Riakporhe didn’t want it. Jordan Thompson got a world title shot without fighting anyone so his promoters did a good job but he was horribly out of his depth there.

    Matchroom have a great signing in Opetaia. I’m a big fan of him. He’s the real deal.

    I agree. He´s really good. Opetaia easily defeats both Okolie and CBS.
