The Boxing thread

Apparently there's a curfew at Wembley, so main event has to start by 10pm. Not entirely sure if that's true, but we'll see

Really? For a PPV in the UK? If it sold well in the States I could see that.

It's to become the biggest crowd in the modern era, 90'000 fans, both parties will get a chunk of gate receipts, with a standardised purse, that's without commercial and ppv monies.... put it this way, froch took home 10m for his fight v groves, it doesn't touch the global interest...

Add in sponsorship deals for Joshua with Beats, stub hub, under armour, Lucozade, rival etc he's set for life. If he wins tonight he'll gain the crossover appeal in the states and demand for a Wilder fight which = Vegas casino money and yank PPV cash. Don't be surprised if Wilder is screaming and shouting at ringside tonight especially if AJ wins

Those sponsorship deals are already exclusive of tonight's fight, he'll make those numbers without, they're long term deals already signed... wilder has already said as much in an interview on IFL tv,'came across very well actually, savvy enough to realise that he could take on Parker in July/Aug, then a unification fight with AJ early 2018...

However, the fight will be over here in my opinion (should it happen), the yanks just won't do the numbers, specatator wise. The advantage will be another guaranteed 90'000 crowd and astronomical ppv figures....

All irrelevant until he gets over the line tonight anyway, which won't be easy!

Fury made it look easy, Joshua will only come off looking bad unless he completely outclasses Wlad.

As stated above, fury played a blinder before a punch was thrown - his whole narrative was an invitation for wlad to come at it him, the seed of self doubt was planted and he didn't throw a punch of note until round 11. Fury was able to out point him because he completely flummoxed his opponent...

AJ and Wlad are very well matched, however, I think AJ's youth will just be too much but the longer it goes he's in uncharted territory against a veteran!

That's the way I see it AJ needs to put him away before the end of 6/7 rounds, then I can see Wlad taking some control
