    Wembley is on a curfew, every event needs to be done and dusted by 11pm, otherwise you can't even stage the event.

    Those dark days of British boxing having to pander to American TV are long gone. That was the Warren days. Calzaghe-Lacy sold 8000 tickets (which is nothing now), was non-PPV (ITV) which made Lacy's money from Showtime (American TV) valuable enough for Frank to shit on the British fans.

    The game is up if you ever see Matchroom/SKY do a British PPV event on American primetime.

    Yeah I remember the MEN was little over half full for JC v Lacy, I think with the recent Fox/Showtime competition Hearn/DAZN are gonna have to get AJ out to the US and they'll have to put him on US Primetime just to compete and remember with Haymons new venture it's gonna be difficult for Hearn to showcase AJ without a clash of fights.
    It's already obvious that our yank friends will make it as difficult as possible for Hearn to succeed Stateside.
    Hearns got his work cut Big Time.
    With the new Haymon deal ready to go I just don't see DAZN pulling in loads of viewers (from scratch) unless they fully pimp the main man in the stable which is Joshua and get him fighting on Primetime US slots.

    I think Boxing is evolving now though. Making it big in the US is not the dream it once was. There isn't really a US fighter making it big in the US now Mayweather has gone. There would be no business sense in getting Joshua to fight in the US really. They'd lose UK PPV money due to the time difference.

    Over the next few years, the big fights are in the UK. Whyte, Fury (maybe both), Usyk, and then after that you have Joyce, Dubois. There is only Wilder and Miller who you would really consider from the US at this point in time and both would be UK fights.

    I don't think the UK has ever had someone who is so comprehensively the A-side before. We've had guys who spent the majority of their careers as the A-side, but then became the B-side in a mega fight, but there isn't a heavy on the planet who can commercially compete with Joshua.

    Anthony Joshua has no skills at all he has no speed his hand speed is terrible he is very rigid and a straight up and down fighter he is horrible with his left jab NOT ONLY IS IT A REALLY HORRIBLE LEFT JAB BUT AFTER HE THROWS IT OR SHOULD I SAY PAWS IT LIKE A LITTLE CAT.... the way he brings it back so low and he is so susceptible to overhand rights and left hooks to body. He has to be the biggest joke of all time of any heavyweight champion.

    Just think, if he did know how to fight a bit, he'd be on a 22 kill streak which I'd imagine is pretty impressive in Call of Duty let alone real life.

    Disappointed Brock hasn't mentioned that Joshua definitely gets sparked out in every sparring session he takes part it.

    Like every country @Fenster your job is to entertain the US. Don’t get it twisted this “long gone” stuff will soon pass

    Anthony Joshua is a big stupid oak tree that will get chopped down like Michael Grant got shot down and like Andrew golota got shot down he is just a big stupid oak tree and we'll get chopped down the way Frank Bruno got chopped down. Anthony Joshua is just all shoulders and height and bodybuilding shape and nothing more.

    You seem envious and bitter that the belts at Heavyweight have been scarce on US soil for a long time now and largely held by Brits and a Ukranian.
    Tyson, Holyfield etc are long gone get over it.

    You’re both complete morons, albeit for different reasons, and everyone with a clue knows this.

    @smashup I don't care about which country the fighters are from as long as they're good and Tony Joshua is a big pile of donkey doo doo.
