Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua-Charles Martin in Serious Talks, Says Hearn

[Butch.McRae]

I've seen Martin box and I've seen Joshua box. Although neither has faced elite competition, my money is on Joshua. I really feel he's the 2nd coming of Lennox Lewis. He may even prove to better than Lewis. If he continues to grow in talent with experience I feel he could easily be the next ruler of the Heavyweight division. I'm just as high on him as I am Errol Spence. And I feel Spence could beat just about everyone at WW right now.
All business and politics aside, this fight is a step in the right direction for both fighters. I hope it gets made.

I agree with almost everything said here.

The PPVs were like $10 doe, but yeah AJ is a fairly big deal in the UK.

The Dillian whyte fight was £17 on uk pay per view . Roughly $25

Hearn always try's to stack the under card to take the sting out

I don't mind paying for decent fights hopefully they move Joshua in position for the big boys in the devision .

Winning martins belt would be a good start

[vitali1999]

Highest ranked biggest threat and the Prince is fighting him on his first title defense. What does that say about Wilder fighting un ranked bum Erik Molina his first title defense. It means BUM SQUAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It could easily be solved Joshua keeps the PPV in the uk and charles Martin gets the PPV for the states ....even if it was just the international tv rights Martin would still get 2 million at least.....if Joshua got 400k PPV against whyte ..I'm sure as hell a world heavyweight title fight will do 500k PPV ..that's 10 million right there ...Martin is worth 2 million easy and he is willing to come over here and risk it so he should be rewarded ...because in a years time if fury is still champion and then it's 2 heavyweight champions of the world fighting for the IBF AND WBA & WBO titles at Wembley stadium ...it will do a mil PPV plus the gate that's some big money down the line

Poor Parker can forget about facing Joshua after he takes that bogus belt from the Ameri-can. There will be Fury and White trilogies before it happens.

No One in the states will pay to see this fight it not ppv worthy Joshua mops the floor with Martin

Martin is a nobody a nothing a throwaway kid zero

Boxing is only about money as money buys everything even love. Martin has no future in boxing so why not clean up losing in the UK to Joshua for some nice cash. It's not like Martin has a resume that is getting Martin a job not with a broom or a mop in his hands. Martin is a nothing an unknown a street kid from the hood going nowhere in life.

This of course really would be a dangerous fight for Josh, Martin is huge and punches hard and seems to be improving all the time.It's easy to say sit on AJ for a while has he's not quite ready but although Martin has had slightly more fights there is no real quality on his record .....It's a fight I would buy a ticket to see a 50/50 really.

[NapalmKnuckles]

Hearn is obviously scared AJ will get Price'd.

[Bigg Rigg]

Wait a sec. A world champ is calling out AJ? Not the other way around? Never seen that, also Martin wants a lot of money when he challenged Joshua. Usually, the champ demands a ton of money when a challenge is a high risk, but he's the one calling out so Joshua should be demanding money, not Martin.

Cuz he's one of the most pathetic champs in the history of the sport lol
