    He might do, but none of it will ever be going to go into your pocket no matter how hard you your beg for the chance to suck him dry.

    If he continues to reign four or five years, yes I think.

    The money in the UK, or anywhere, will never eclipse the levels Mayweather was pulling in during his last 8 fights or so - so the answer is no. He might be the second, though.

    If it was that easy to predict I would bet on every one of his fights.

    But I think probably not, boxing in the US is becoming more niche and without enough good US opponents I can't see how Joshua can realistically break the US market and become a cross over star there. He'll make a ton of money but he'll never get close the billion he's talked about.

    Easy. Hearn is and has been keeping Joshua far away from Deontay and King Kong the 2 hardest hitters in the division. Team Joshua has a good thing going over there in England. I gotta give credit where credit is due. The question is how long does Hearn milk Joshua before he puts him in with the champ?

    Nah. He'll meet his match sooner or later and people will gradually lose interest in him. Hearn will milk him for a good number of years though. I don't think anyone will surpass the amount of money Mayweather made.

    Yes, it's inevitabe. A humble family man, he's still living with his mother and stayed loyal to his hood. He made smart investments, I heard he bought a house and some flats. I am pretty sure his advisors and Hearn taught him one or two things.

    He makes sick salaries so early in his career, 80k-100k people pay to see him live, millions more are more than honoured to pay for his PPV. And he's not even 30 yet ..

    AJ will be boxing's first billionaire.

    uhhh the Wealthy Peasant fantasy, its useful to promote a sport or a general agenda

    No future for PED addicted Bodybuilders, Joshua is the hard work of Hearn, Hearn alone no other Elites backing him up. Eventually Hearn has to cash out and promote something less difficult to promote

    Wealth is an important element in the capitalist peasantry, with capitalism prevailing...Elites will make examples of favorable wealthy peasants. So peasants can look up to them & live a similar life...Nobody is interested in PED addicted Nigerian bodybuilders, that is Hearn own temporary fetish
