    Have seen many Youtubers who are now commenting that AJ was Eddie Hearn's biggest card to make a breakthrough in the US market and that AJ was his biggest cash cow overall. Al Hayman now has all the belts and in a single strike he has single handedly destroyed Eddie Hearn and Match Room Boxing. Lol even the notorious Hatman who would act like AJ's and Eddie Hearn's cheer leader cannot make excuses for them anymore and has clearly stated that this is now the biggest crisis and test for Eddie Hearn's in his promotional career so far.

    Joshua has a rematch clause and will likely come back more focused than before.

    A set back for sure ... but we will have to see how the rematch plays out. Such stuff is part of the intrigue of the sport.

    No. They have plenty more fighter and a loss doesn't end your career. Even if Joshua loses the rematch Hearn will throw him in with Pulev or someone and work his way up to the mandatory spot

    Matchroom boxing are here to stay. I am a big fan of Al Haymon and there is room for Matchroom and PBC in boxing.

    I have every confidence that Anthony Oluwafemi Olasheni Joshua will come again. I would like him to have a better trainer than Robert McCracken though!

    They will be back. Joshua has been their main figurehead for the last few years but life and life and boxing will carry on for Matchroom. Still it was great seeing the smile wiped away from Hearn’s smug face. Lol.

    The rematch will be huge. In the UK it does ridiculous PPV numbers.

    Also why do people still believe this fighter losing suddenly means its over. Fighters who draw money can still draw money after losing.

    A lot of casuals will have seen him lose to a fat lad and move on
    Might not do the numbers you think

    However if promoted right it can do gang busters
