    This is exactly what Anthony Joshua and the new generation aspire to.

    Amazing to see so many tickets sold so quickly for what looks like it should be such a non-event.

    They've sold so many tickets already I doubt they'll now pay the money to put on the two fights Hearn was talking about in the IFL interview.

    Think those extra fights will boost the PPV numbers and give people value for money so they back AJ in sane numbers in next fight.

    It will have to involve whyte as i see Brook and Frampton (when he signs) to get the december slots for the Bellew ppv fight given he is the weakest ppv fighter sky have.He needs a dance partner which i except to be Haye.

    Most people don't expect this to be a competiive fight. Pulev is dull as dishwater, inside and outside the ring.

    My hat goes off to anyone who can actually be bothered to leave their house to go see this fight, nevermind the cost and drama of buying the tickets on stubhub.
    That's some dedication.

    StubHub baybayyyyyy!

    Surprised people are shitting on the fight though. Pulev is a top 10 guy and only lost to Wlad. Wilder/Ortiz look to be tied up as do Hughie and Parker. Wlad's retired, Whyte is average and has been iced by AJ already. Maybe Miller? Wouldn't say that's any better than Pulev at this stage though.

    It won't be a classic, but it's fine.

    I agree.
    Crazy that you have to go on stub hub to get tickets though.

    Yes, it's a reasonable fight. It's a legitimate opponent.
    I do have a feeling AJ will Blitz him though. I think Pulev hasn't got over the Wlad defeat and is just taking a pay day, at 36 years of age now.
