Yep, very smart move - 10 million + American viewers. US is where the money is. Great chess move I think. Lets see what happens next.

Will make it even harder for negotiations now as all have broadcast commitments but as said the money is in America then turn it to British pounds not as much as what you think like the 80 million in UK money is $61.936 dollors so just think how much they actually make in America Joshua getting 30 million for Miller fight and the money wilder offered all American broadcasters had to find the money and Frank Warren had to help

I agree but the ppv events in America cost a lot more than UK ppv 1 fight in America on showtime or any other platform can cots 70-100 dollors upwards per fight that's why most have dazone a lot cheaper lol

£80 million = $103,633,600 - Tyson Fury making Joshua's deal look like peanuts.
