    Yep. And be worth about £30 million less.
    Honestly, which would you choose?
    AJ would make that back and more easily in endorsements and fame.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    What, and he doesn't have endorsements and fame now? For example, Under Armour pays him a fortune now!
    I'm not altogether sure you understand how it works.

    More well known means he will be remembered for longer, not just about money. People still chant Bruno after all these years as they did with Cooper.

    that's a very idealistic view, and to a degree I wish that's what was important. But compare that to "Boxing is a Business" and "It's a short career, they need to make every penny they can," and "Marketability and Profile" and all the other buzz words we hear and then you realize IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!
    Be Honest, and it may not be a question you can answer because you haven't been in this position, but if you had say, a Million quid and somebody said "you can make another £5 Million, you would go for it , wouldn't you?
    or if somebody said "you can either be Sports Personality of the Year or have £30 million , what would you take.
    and proof that Sports personality won't eventually necessarily get him all the money he would currently get is this...........
    Who has the highest net worth?
    a. Andy Murray
    b. Mo Farah
    c. Bradley Wiggins
    d. Anthony Joshua.

    Fame, notoriety and being loved for many years after I retire would be worth more than millions in the short term. Just ask Wlad.

    If I was AJ I would have a few fights on mainstream TV, screw Eddie and Sky if it means that.

    Just ask Wlad? What's that supposed to mean? Didn't Wlad as the challenger away from home get a 50/50 split on a PPV last time out?
    I'm not gonna give you the whole fucking Wlad story again because it clearly didn't sink in last time.
    As for "Screw Eddie and Sky", is that what you believe is it? The same Eddie and Sky that clearly offered him the most generous deal to turn pro. If you remember when he turned pro , every promoter IN THE WORLD wanted him, and He chose Eddie and Sky because they clearly gave him the better deal.
    Where the fuck were BBC & ITV then? And now you're saying he should fuck Eddie and Sky off after everything they did for him.
    That sort of disloyalty and fucking snakey attitude is worse than the PPV scandal. Would you honestly be that much of a disloyal fucking snake?

    So AJ would be a snake to leave Eddie and sky? I would put a couple of my defences on mainstream TV.
