Are you really comparing "Freeeee TV" numbers with premium numbers?
Deontay's Showtime #'s are still better even with Spilzka and Molina, but I thought A.J was the man and a 'Superstar' for beating Klitschko?! don't try to downplay this or marginilize the PBC brand - free tv is the future of boxing and Deontay started that trend long ago being the first American HW champion to fight on FREE tv in over a decade. Deontay is a LEGEND.

So now you get why Eddie Hearn says they need to build the AJ - Wilder fight . Since AJ is not that know in the U.S the PPV buys will not be that big, so AJ needs to fight an American in the U.S while Wilder fights Dillian Whyte in the U.K and then they both meet in summer or fall for the big unification.

So you are admitting A.J is not a 'Global Superstar' like Hearn said and will acknowledge that Deontay is more popular? OK I got it.
Oh yeah Canelo can fight on premium channels in the UK and do better #'s than A.J -- Cashnelo is the face of boxing. FACTS.
643K combined. I doubt Wilder-Stiverne beats that.
Already beat A.J's numbers in the first fight with 1.34 million and Stiverne was no superstar neither was Deontay back then...but throw A.J a bone by combining both telecast. American fans are in for a treat with a undercard that blows Joshua-Takam and the Bellend-Gaymaker combined, I cant wait -- The KING returns this Saturday.
