Fans expect the battle between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to go on floors by mid-2021. The fight hasn’t reached a summation yet, but in the coming few months official confirmations might roll out. This will reportedly be the richest heavyweight fight in history with the duo expected to bank at least $100 million.
Both their promotions are proposing a £40 PPV price for this fight. The proposed rates are substantially higher than a usual boxing contest, but considering the mammoth fight purses, it may be justified.
However, many boxing enthusiasts, including Simon Jones, didn’t like the idea of a PPV price hike. In a conversation with talkSPORT, Jones said:

“There seems to be this default setting that we have to universally accept that both of these fighters have got to get £100m each.”
“So they are looking at a quantity of pay-per-views; they’re going to take it to the most repugnant part of the world for human rights issues because they can get paid £120m over there for facilities fees, so the timing of that means they can’t sell it to the American market.”
Jones also asserted that Joshua doesn’t exhibit a massive profile like the ‘Gypsy King’ in the USA. This is one of the prime reasons the fight isn’t getting staged in that country.
He lashed out at their promotions for not being able to sell the fight well and making the fans pay 40-50% extra for PPV.
