So why is AJ fighting in New York and not Vegas?

So why is AJ fighting in New York and not Vegas?

Canelo-Jacobs is in Vegas a few weeks before (now factor in Kirk's post about Vegas).

Here's some more reasons.

1. Madison Square Garden is an iconic venue for boxing.
2. Miller is a New Yorker.
3. The timezone means British fans can watch live at 2.30-3am instead of 5-30am (that's more PPV sales).

It's a keep busy fight rather than an event like Wilder and Joshua's first fight in America so he's unknown outside of fight fans so it's not very attractive to Vegas. New York makes it easier for Brits to get to. I'm not sure why it isn't in Britain. Maybe Eddie doesn't think it will sell Wembley out but hasn't Joshua sold out stadiums against scrubs before? Maybe it's just that they have to bring him to America at some point and it makes DAZN happy too to start building a profile in America. Probably those reasons, it makes all the parties behind Joshua happy because it helps build everybodys' brand.

It's not at Wembley because Eddie perfectly groomed Miller for Joshua's American debut, it has been the plan since he signed him, not just to sell him to Americans but Brits.

Agree it's been his plan to signing Miller. I think Hearn has almost stymied Miller as far as mass exposure and playing him up to his NY home crowd with Joshua getting the shine. As well as opposition Miller can grow from in prepping for AJ. Hearn can set the field and control the exteriors but Miller still gets to have a say when the bells rings. I'm not big on his chances but a unified hvy champ coming into the backyard of both Wilder and Miller at the historical venue is huge for the sport. Hard to have a problem with it, but I spose if someone looks hard enough they'll create one .
