    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.
    Are you really comparing:
    Anthony Joshua
    SkySports memberships
    PPV
    Purse

    to
    Deontay Wilder
    Showtimes Membership
    Purse

    Are you serious right now?

    Deontay is no where near the A-Side with 19 more fights than AJ.


    HAHAHAHAHAHA man, delete your account wtf is this

    DEONTAY HAS ABSOLUTELY 0 PPV IN 39 FIGHTS.

      Sky sports is also a monthly subscription based channel- they charge Ppv on top dude

        Joshua-Takam was on at 5PM while Bivol-Broadhurst came on later than that fam.

        But even with that, you know that HBO has more subscribers so there was a chance that they would pull more viewers anyway.

        Let's see Espinoza put a Wilder fight on Showtime in the afternoon and see how many viewers that gets.

              LOL

              Funny how people say that Wilder is the A side when his earnings are peanuts compared to AJ.

              On top of that, if he is the A side then why have they not contacted Joshua's team before today with an offer?

              If they got it like that, then they should have had no issues sending an offer to Joshua or Hearn...

              ...but we know what the real deal is...

                  Dumbest thread of the day, and that's saying a lot considering Floyd's Mask is trolling hard again.

                  If you don't think AJ is A-side, you need to stop freebasing your Prozac. He earns ten times the money Wilder does for each fight, and pulls in about seven times as many fans to a venue. He just broke Ali's indoor attendance record for a boxing match set in 1978. His last four fights have been sold-out events between 21K - 90K seats. Wilder still can't get passed 12K, even in his own home state. Thousands of empty seats and his best payday is $1.4 million. We won't even start on AJ's endorsement deals and how he has 8x as many Twitter followers....Wilder is A-side, LMAO!

                    Dmitry Bivol, an absolute unknown in the U.S., averaged 341K viewers last Saturday in a fight few Americans even knew about.
                    Dmitry Bivol’s debut on premium cable drew respectable ratings considering his level of opposition and the time it aired live in the United States. Bivol’s first-round knockout victory over Trent Broadhurst on Saturday peaked at 356,000 viewers and drew an average audience of 341,000 for HBO, according to ratings released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. The one-bout broadcast from Monte Carlo, Monaco, began at 5:45 p.m. ET/2:45 p.m. PT in the United States.


                    Anthony Joshua, a supposed superstar, averaged 334K viewers in a highly promoted fight two Saturdays ago.
                    Anthony Joshua’s level of opponent impacted U.S. television ratings Saturday much more than attendance. Roughly 78,000 fans packed Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, to watch England’s Joshua stop Carlos Takam in the 10th round of their heavyweight title fight. Showtime’s live broadcast of Joshua-Takam drew an average audience of 334,000 viewers, according to ratings released by Nielsen Media Research on Tuesday.


                    Absolutely embarrassing for Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn.


                    HOW CAN YOU BE THE A-SIDE WITH THESE NUMBERS--
                    JOSHUA'S EARNINGS VS WLAD ..IS MORE THAN WILDER'S ENTIRE CAREER LMAO

                      I said before last weekend that I could have went on I-95 to NY that day and still would have got good seats to the fights at the Barclays Center.

                      Ain't no way that happens in the UK.
