MSG is also the larger venue, its set up for ~20500 seats while the Barclays is only set up for ~15k (they didnt even bother to open the outer rows for this fight which hold over 4k seats)

Tickets for Wilder start at $67
Tickets for Joshua start at $251, almost 4 times as expensive
Average price is about $170 for Wilder and $500 for Joshua (3 times as expensive)
Lets imagine that both venues sell out:
Wilder 15k Tix average $170 = $2.5 Million gate
Joshua 20k Tix average $500 = $10 Million gate
So were they lying to us? I thought Wilder is the most popular fighter?
Nobody knows about Joshua stateside and all that means is you Brits are overpaying for a terrible fight.
Baby Miller is a terrible HW and the fact anybody is attempting to make him a credible opponent is a shame.
Terrible fight, but Wilder has clearly shifted his approach to the fight.
He had my respect when he said Joshua was no African because Africans are warriors. Wilder
Ain’t no African cuz he clearly ducking the fight.
You trolls guessing on gates like it's fact.
Who cares?
Aj - Joshua - fury all in a drama making machine waiting out each other for the mega fights. I swear aj paid trolls come here to pump aj.
If AJ brings in 10M gate in MSG he can claim to be bigger than Canelo and Cotto combined in USA
This is the sort of thread that makes you look stupid later on
Canelo never had a "big" fight at MSG, he only fought there once and that was against Rocky Fielding.
Canelo vs GGG gates at T Mobile were $27M and $23M for example.
Also I never said AJ would do a $10M gate, maybe you need to work on your reading and comprehensing skills?
The average price is obviously not 100% correct, they could sell out 99% of the cheap tickets and have 30% of the higher priced ones unsold, then the average would be much lower.
What is a fact, that Wilders tickets are priced much lower on average and my guesstimate would be that Wilder does a gate of $2M and AJ does a gate of $6M when everything is said and done.
AJs tickets are much more expensive and his tickets sell faster, both undeniable facts as of now, and it would be great for the sport when both fights sell out, also Wilder fights in May, AJ in June.
This business about who sells more is the lamest *****.
All I care about is who’s the best, and who could beat who. Such a shame fans give a ***** more about who makes more or who has more fans.
Just stops the big fights from happening.
Dudes fight once or twice a year and sometimes 0 times in the year.
I think Joshua vs wilder would be an epic fight that’d surely end in an knockout.
they’re both capable of knocking the other out. Gotta love that.
Oh but dw, lets not compare how they fight. Let’s boast about ticket sales
Fkn pathetic lol
True! Never understood how us boxing fans talk about tickets and ppv sales numbers proudly. Who cares one thing I learned about being a boxing fan is not to be so a nationalist and just root for a guy who is from my country or religion.
These boys needs to put the poms poms down
Duh....Baby is more of a tv friendly charactor than dull as dung Brazeale.
Has Miller's "tv friendly style" been selling out his fights previously?
Nope. Think about stuff before you post, or you lack of forethought will get pointed out
This fght is selling because of Joshua.
Wilder is ducking Joshua because he knows he'll end up ktfo and his master Finkel has told him to avoid.
Yes this is just normal, this is to be expected. Team Wilder can talk all they want and try to claim to be the A side in America and play anything Joshua down, their crazy fans can talk all they want and try to **** on anything Joshua, Hearn or DAZN based too.
But the reality, the facts, figures, stats, belts, graphs and charts all suggest Anthony Joshua is the A side in the division, maybe the A side in the entire sport and all the efforts of Wilder, Finkel, Espinoza, the LDBC and posters on forums like this can try to spin it, run their narratives, make all sorts of claims, call opinions fact and just generally make a load of bull**** up. LET THEM DO IT. Cuz the facts, figures and stats tell the real story and those are nailed on FACTS, not opinion, not spin.
Really? That’s a strange argument and teams can put on sale tickets when they like, Wilder fights before AJ remember
Yes, Wilder fights before Joshua but Joshua's fight was announced before Wilder's and their tickets have been on sale longer. It only makes sense they've sold more. Not that I honestly care about these popularity contests....
Joshua vs Miller tickets have been on sale longer

This is 100%, espn and top rank are gonna get ****ed on that deal...I dislike wilders personality but I’ll watch all his fights..... fury I’ll watch all his Interviews but I won’t be goin out of my way to watch on of his fights
My thoughts exactly.

Fury in the worst position, despite what Arum will try to make the public believe. Wait til Americans get a load of his boring ass fights, at least Wilders fights are exciting. People about to see the Wilder fight was an exception, not the rule. Turning off in their hundreds of thousands

Wilder is being outsold in his own country! This makes his "50-50 or no fight" demand look even dumber.
Deontay Wilder:
“When these guys come to America, I am the king here. No matter what people say."
“I got a lot of influence here. Everyone in the sport looks up to me because I’m the monster in the heavyweight division. They can’t look over me."
:lol1:

People about to see the Wilder fight was an exception, not the rule. Turning off in their hundreds of thousandsDont worry about Fury he’s doing ok and what’s best for his family the rent will be paid.He put himself in a good position accepting the fight so soon even Hearn said he would back out with an injury ect.He made a good account of himself most people had him winning the fight.Wilder was fighting for a million or so as an American who was champ..You need to worry about him when the smoke clears Fury’s fat ugly mug will be the last standing.If you want to worry worry about Wilder has no appeal big mouth that turns people off and Finkel with his hand in his pocket.
Wilder couldn’t sell out VFW in his home town and all his fans say Joshua needs him 50/50 split and so on.Joshua can make huge bank fighting in front of huge crowds in London with an occasional fight in the states .Just look at all the short money Wilder has been fighting for prior to the Fury fight which he lost.Josh does not need him .Wilder definitely needs him.

DAZN buys their own tickets for ranking and then resells them on eBay.
