    He's fighting a * that's why.

    This should really be Joshua's last journeyman fight, he will stagnate if he doesn't step up in class. I fully expect a 1st round KO.

    He needs professional experience but there are more fighters out there than run of the mill bums with * records.

    He needs to fight a younger guy with a decent record and get his chin tested before he goes on to the Wilder/Fury/Klitschko level fights.

    I wouldnt allow mix matched boxing like that, high risk of match fixing. Joshua could easily tell his pals all to stick a few grand on Round 4 for example and finish him when he wants as hes too fast, fit and strong that that guy would just get battered into submission if he wanted to do it.

    Surely time to step it up a bit. Doubt he's learning anything from these 'fights'.

    Johnson will be a bit of a better challenge but again he will smash him.

    Fury and Chisora have both fought and beat him by decision. If he can KO him it will at least be a massive feather in his cap.

    The average age of Joshua's last 7 opponents is over 38. Canny really be much point of only boxing 1-3 rounds against old hasbeens. The 7 opponents have also lost 72 fights between them.

    Why not? I personally think it'll go the distance, with Mayweather winning on points.

    Either way, it is horrendous how expensive it's going to be. No way am I paying $100 for a * boxing fight - I'll go to the pub and watch it, instead. On one hand, I can understand it, as it'll be the biggest fight in my lifetime...but on the other hand, boxing is dying and needs renewed interest and this would be the best opportunity to attract new fans and create a new legacy of boxers. Oh well, the UFC keeps grinning.

    Still many, many, many millions more in boxing than the UFC.

    Mayweather earned more last year than the entire UFC roster. There's some perspective.

    There's still fights out there to be made, Golovkin and Klitschko both need proper tests.

    would like to think I will be wrong but I just can't see this going the distance.
    Should be interesting anyway

    Seen that was the prices in the US not so bad here though under 20 quid .

    Mayweather v Pacquiao is live on Sky Sports Box Office and the cost of the event will be £19.95 / €24.95 across all forms of booking, up until midnight Friday, May 1. From then on the cost will still be £19.95 / €24.95 if bookings are made via remote control and online, but will cost £24.95 / €29.95 if booked via the phone.

    Good night of boxing, love watching Joshua, be a good test against Kevin Johnson next.

    Great to see wee Charlie Flynn get his win, 2 out of 2 for him. Train in the same gym as him he's a really nice guy hope he goes far

    Did they show Charlie Flynn? Turned it over, wasn't impressed with the contest's tonight. In truth, it's been majorly poor from Hearn for a while. Quality over quantity please. Guy wants fights on every week or other, it's rubbish if the match ups are *. Sort it..

    Mayweather, IMO, is the superior fighter going into this bout. His main skill is defense vs. Manny, who is at his weakest...no brainer.
