Dmitry Bivol had higher U.S. TV ratings than Anthony Joshua

HBO has a bigger subscriber base and you should add together the viewers from the live afternoon shows and the evening replays to get a more accurate picture of how these guys draw

[redmish]

This just proves that american audiences are rapidly declining. We already knew this and I hope it improves. The sport needs a strong american audience.

lets see wilders numbers in the uk...zero. lets see joshuas. 15 million purse. 90k tickets sold, 1.5 million ppvs. now lets see wilders in the US: 1.5 million purse, 10k tickets sold(many comps and freebies), and zero ppv revenue. the figt must be in the USA! WE HATE MONEY!

Man...some folks just don't get it over here in NSB.

For starters, the Bivol fight was on a network with more subscribers on a Saturday evening in the US. The Joshua fight was on during the afternoon here in the US while it was primetime in the UK.

Let's see Deontay Wilder fight someone here in the states at the same time when college football is on like the Joshua-Takam fight was.

I bet DiBella, Deas, Haymon, Finkel, and Espinoza won't try that.

Wilder fanboys are now trying to use other fighters in other weight divisions to fit their narrative, SMH

Both fights were televised in the afternoon in the U.S. you moron.

You do realize a monthly Showtime subscription costs more $/month than a UK PPV, right? So Wilder's 1.24M viewer average in the first Stiverne fight earned Showtime more money than the Klitschko fight earned Sky Sports.

Yes, you read that right. Wilder grossed more $ vs. Stiverne than Joshua did vs. Klitschko.

Wilder is the A-side. Joshua can't even outdraw Dmitry Bivol.

[Dean_Razorback]

so when posters in here say: "no one says wilder is the A side" or "no one says AJ isn't the A side" we can show them this?

[1hourRun]

And you guys still think Joshua is the A-side?

Dmitry Bivol, an absolute unknown in the U.S., averaged 341K viewers last Saturday in a fight few Americans even knew about.

Anthony Joshua, a supposed superstar, averaged 334K viewers in a highly promoted fight two Saturdays ago.

Absolutely embarrassing for Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn.

[Sparked_26]

Yeah Wilder is the A-side.

He's global.
