    *Pulls pin from grenade*

    There's a key difference however, Lewis actually wanted and intended to fight the best available opponents though, and not just set up a UK 2.0 only with x times bigger audience numbers.

    I think a better analogy would be for European football teams coming to the states, where the sport is hardly popular, and selling out stadiums to expand their market. Which they are doing more and more of every year, with great success. See where I am going?

    I'm in Thailand, it will be on at 11am Sunday for me, I can stroll into any sports bar, get some food and a drink and watch it no problem.

    I paid for AJ vs Klitschko when I was back in the UK. I am expecting a decent show put on since this will be his first fight in the States.

    Lucky , that’s a good time!

    June 1st It’s the derby at Epsom (big horse race) that day and then the champions league final in the evening so staying up until 4am will be a killer...

    Honestly I'm too old and boring to be staying up til the early hours to watch fights anymore. I couldn't even be bothered to stay up and watch Pac/Broner free on TV in the UK, no chance I'm staying up and paying to watch Joshua/Miller. I'll just download it the next day and watch it, I'm expecting a pretty one sided fight for Joshua.

    I'm sure the UK PPV sales will be effected somewhat but I still expect the fight to do several hundred thousand PPV sales.

    I'll order it and watch it Sunday morning with my phone turned off. Don't get why people feel the need to wait around all night for the fights to come on when you can set them to record on the planner.

    do you think Miller has a legitimate chance of beating AJ? Assuming fair judges

    If he can take his power, Miller will KO AJ, stylistically he's all wrong for Joshua, the body work would make AJ gas quicker than he usually does, combine with the suffocating pressure Miller brings, this could be a recipe for disaster, so I doubt he'll need the judges. But if it goes the distance, I doubt he'd win on points regardless. But keep in mind, this is a big if. I'm not entirely sure Miller has a good chin, so I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

    yeah its tough! I also stayed up here to watch AJ vs Parker (so UK time = +6 hours Thailand time) I went to bed at 5am that night.

    But at least with the fights in the states I can watch them at a reasonable time and then hit the beach after!

    Yeah right, getting reportedly paid his highest career purse for a fight against a no hoper like Miller at the iconic Madison square Garden where all the heavyweight greats of the past have fought. Joshua sure is sacrificing and fortfeiting helluv a lot ....

    Sure, but I still think they are doing it for US exposure
