Anthony Joshua vs. Charles Martin (c) - April 9th 2016

[GlobalBox]

Your right with nothing on twitter you have to think its been changed, nothing on AJ's twitter earlier either.

[edgey2009]

Matchroom Boxing Twitter put last week Full Card was being announced today with tickets on sale tomorrow morning!

[Sklar]

Joshua got £5million for the fight with Whyte? No way is that true surely?

440k PPV sales...

Crazy money. I hope it is true, or close to it, I love it when fighters earn well.

Matchroom Boxing Twitter put last week Full Card was being announced today with tickets on sale tomorrow morning!

That's where I saw it.

They are still reporting that the ticket sales will be tomorrow (Fight Pass) and Friday for general sale. The last time they mentioned the full card being announced today was 4th Feb



...suggests they haven't got an opponent signed yet. Doesn't mean they can't do what Haye is doing and start selling tickets for Joshua vs TBA

Yawn.
More spin, hype and bullshit...

Are we expecting Degale to be on this card too? Doesn't seem to have been much noise about his next fight being announced, which I think was going to be a mandatory challenger?

I think degale and selby are both due mandatories. Which will probably be put on this card...

Lets say DeGale and/or Selby are on this card - would you still think AJ deserves to headline this card?
Just throwing it out there

Not on achievements no, but definitely on name alone. AJ will bring more PPV buys than Degale and Selby put together.

I completely agree with you. I just think it backs up the fact there are to many world champions in each division.

Unfortunately I agree too. AJ is the poster boy and will headline every show now. Sells so many PPV.

It worries me that there has been significant delays in naming Joshua's next opponent. I don't think it's for the purpose of drama, maybe more to the point it hasn't gone as they wanted it too. Maybe they've missed out on the names they were originally after? There were supposed to have a presser last Thursday.

I'm putting my money on Takam at the moment, hoping for maybe Jennings or Stiverne though.

Tickets will now NOT go on sale tomorrow. Not until they have named the opponent. Has to be tomorrow though. They won't wanna push the sales any further back. Jerking the fans around.

Eddie loves to drag things right out!

Joshua/Takam Gloves Are Off is going to be a fun one, can Johnny Nelson speak French?

[Sklar]

There are only so many reasonably big names out there who'll settle for less than 5% of the purse, perhaps?

Hearn hinting its Martin!

Camp Eddie acting the big old pricktease, who'd have thought it

Is Hearn being stingey?
People need paying right.
AJ is a major draw but he also needs a dance partner to play his role and maximise ppv buys, cheapest option isnt always the best Edward...

Didnt he hint Khan/Brook was close to being made?

It was close, not close enough, though.

Hinting how?

Lots of nudging, winking & tapping nose.

Well no, he didn't say it was close, he said there was communication between the two parties which gave him hope. Negotiations never started though.
