10/28 Showtime: Anthony Joshua vs Carlos Takam (WBA/IBF Heavyweight Championship)

[David_TheMan]

that is the part i dont have a problem with..femi has sold out 2 big ass stadiums..wilder hasnt come close to selling anything in the US

but wilder has a chance to make a bigger impact on the division next week with a more impressive win

From what I've gathered from Bop, in the US stadiums and gate have always been worthless. US about broadcast rights and site fees, that gets you the big money here. So if AJ came to the US and Vegas he could probably make more bank than he does selling out huge stadiums, depending on the how the money is handled.

 

[Figaro]

Joshua looks like a stiff motherfukker out there when throwing that 1-2, fool got a lot to learn....if your left jab doesn't connect & is way off distance, why do you proceed to throw a straight right after it with your feet planted

No wonder he gets tired late in the fights, throwing these air punches

 

[Big Boss]

Pantomime villain, he can come across 'smarmy' but ultimately he's a very successful promoter and it's bit of playful hating. Also, some minor residue from his pops.

 

[~Styles~]

Trust me the crowd was booing the stoppage not because they wanted a knockout.

I'm British and my feed is basically all calling bullshyt..

"B-b-but I got obligations to defend against other people!"

Nobody trying to hear all of this shyt. Just be a real nikka and call the people out coming for your belt

And it's not even a valid excuse being that all the sanctioning bodies place the precedence of unifications over mandatories.

Looks like Anthony and Hearn don't want bout's outside the UK.

And ain't nothing wrong with that tbh...that's where all the money is in the division, so that's where the fights should be staged.

I remember saying years ago that Wiilder probably would've been better off signing with a British (or German) promoter...he probably would've already had "megafights" Fury, Klitschko & Haye...or at least 2 out of the 3.

Bruh... The Showtime crew just said it themselves. How can you possibly persuade them to come over here when he's legit selling out stadiums over there?

It makes no sense from a business standpoint.

DiBella had the Fury fight ready.
I'll give Tyson Fury all the props in the world, that man had Vlad's belts and game to the US to make the fight and it was getting made until the fukking drug tests.
Then Wld refuses to fight Wilder and opts for Joshua and gets retired and Wilder is frozen out.
Tyson Fury would have been said he fighting Deontay whenever whereever because Tyson fury is a fighter

 

[ComorianKid]

Takam should get a rematch, and mayne these British referees are straight garbage.

 

[Big Boss]

AJ ain't fighting in America unless he has too

After hearing Mauro try to claim that knockout was justified while everyone said he was wrong flatout. I don't know why you would put much stock in what they say.
Promoters say the big money is in the US, the fame is in the US, they get AJ and Wilder in Vegas on Showtime either PPV or over the air thats huge money for both.
LIke I said before, today I could see everything being in AJ's favor, this lowed his stock big time, especially when PEDvetkin took out Takam in a much more dominant manner.
The ball is in Deontay's court, he takes out Stiverne in dominating fashion he is going to increase his pull in the negotiations.

Rematch for what? We don't need to see a replay of this shyt again, time for the unification bouts.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Horrible fukking stoppage.

Ref needs to get thrown into a wall for that middle school headlock bullshyt he pulled.

Joshua did some good things in there, but didn't really impress much and his stamina still lacking. nikka was getting tired in a fight that he was winning and not even being carried fast.

After this shyt, I'm now kinda excited for Wilder/Stiverne 2.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

bad stoppage but AJ was more fluid this fight

Fury actually already turned down a fight with Wilder back in 2013/2014-ish when Wilder was with Golden Boy...

And you can't blame Wlad for taking Joshua over Wilder, the financial worth of those fights for Wlad are a league apart.

Hence why it would've been a better career move for Wilder to sign with a European promoter and base himself over there...he could've possibly got to Wlad before Fury, thereby putting himself in much better position to get much bigger fights.
