    What cause it isn't in Las Vegas??? We keep trying to tell people that the HW scene in the UK and Europe is huge and there is way more money to be had there than anywhere else...

    Plus AJ is a huge draw, like him or not...

    Why is the heavyweight scene in Britain and Europe huge? Apart from Joshua who else is there?

    I bet you,if he loses once,all those nigerians who suddenly claim him as one of theirs will disappear into the rocks,and guess who will be their to carry on supporting him and making sure his profile stays up,which means he will get more money in his pocket,all because of British Fans.Bruno is the perfect example,Hatton aswell and of course the one and only,who shutted all those yanks up,Lennox Lewis,who i felt was under appreciated certainly compared to Frank,probably because of the Canada and Jamacia link.

    Joshua's PPV numbers are ridiculous for a place the size of Britain, sponsors are throwing money in the Direct of Joshua and don't forget Sky money, they have exclusive rights and they pay well for them.

    Joshua has Sky Backing,but i still believe he will end up in the States,is HBO and Showtime stronger than Sky backing,financially and publicity wise.
