Alabama shatters tourism records in 2019, but 2020 looks bleak

Lol where the **** would you have to live to consider Alabama a place to go on vacation....

Fury/Whyte is happening in ****ing LONDON, a city the size of NYC and one of the worlds most important urban centers. Yes sure, people only bought tickets because theres nothing else to do there.

I'm giving you unbiased numbers.
94k people would not show up if Fury and Whyte were Americans.

Yeah and Cowboys stadium wasnt filled to 50% capacity for Spence/Ugas either, and thats two top 5 guys in a money division with one of them being considered a top 5 p4p guy and one of the top American boxing stars right now....

Its nothing to do with options, boxing is simply more mainstream in the UK than in modern day America.

Ugas has no following.

Have a good time with your buds.
Maybe 20k show up if they were Americans.

And thats a good thing because......?

Like I've said multiple times....a bunch of fight fans getting together to see a fight is a good thing.
Sry but no one outside of Europe think much of the combatants.

My statement is not coming from an emotion place.
Just telling it how it is.

Okay, so which boxers do you think are worthy and why are their fights getting less attention than Youtubers boxing MMA fighters over there?

Let's stick with these 2 -
One is a guy even hometown fans call ''shyte''
IIRC, the other is a Gypsy bum who wishes to live in LV ?

Many more causals than actual fans (who hopefully transitions to full fight fans).

We have major sports (pro and NCAA) that are sometimes in post season modes...
We have a bunch of traffic that even the biggest fight fan may not feel inclined to partake.

Spence vs Bud might be a big draw if there isn't a post season going on in a major sport.

Would you be interested in Fury vs White if they were American ?
I don't think us Americans are as ''nationalistic'' as other places.

Even though Fury is from Madagascar, people would be interested with him.

Its a world title fight between two top 5 ranked HWs, in a country where boxing is mainstream, between two fighters from that country. Why wouldnt a boxing fan want to watch that?

You're trying to make it sound like Americans have more discerning tastes or have better **** to do, which is laughable and just comes across like salty cope tbh. As a boxing fan why not just be happy that theres still a market out there where boxing (a so called dying sport) can command that kind of attention?
