Comments Thread For: Wilder-Ortiz is Biggest U.S. Heavyweight Fight Since Lewis-Klitschko

[N/A]

Wilder isn't a draw.

Isn't a draw compared to who? If we're only comparing him to the biggest draw in the sport, than sure. But compared to everybody else? Wilder is clearly one of the biggest draws in US boxing. I know you're just a child, but eventually you will learn about nuance. Just because something isn't the best ever doesn't mean it's the worst ever either.

Wilder vs. Ortiz has a legitimate chance to break the all time boxing attendance record at Barclays. There are only a handful of fighters who can sell more tickets in the US than Wilder. There are thousands and thousands of fighters. If out of thousands and thousands of fighters, Wilder is a bigger draw than almost all of them, it seems silly to take the position that he "isn't a draw."

Wilder-Ortiz tickets didn't start at $74 either.

Yes they did. Press releases list the base price, not the actual price you pay. The fight was priced at $57-$757, which is the $50 you quoted plus a $7 facility fee. But there are also ticketing fees, which bring the price to $74 (although for a limited time you can get tickets without fees right now).

On top of that, they just raised prices today, so that $57 ticket is now $67. And when the fees kick back in, it'll be $84 to sit in the nose bleeds.

Maybe the fight would have sold out in Miami with the Cuban fan base

Shame it’s not a sell out because it’s a genuine good fight on paper

If they cant sell out in a venue that Wilder has been too in a title fight in N.Y in a 19,000 seated area ,it says alot . I actually want to see Joshua fight there now to compare how fast tickets go. Im not a live event person but i would sure go to it .

I wont go to this one bc Ortiz is a Haymon fighter and i wont believe its a real fight until i see it . Idont trust all these Wilder Haymon fighters fighting in their own circle. Wilder wont see a bigger fight than this one outside Joshua .

The only thing I'm looking forward to is wilder and all his fans being given a reality chec. It's long overdue

I don't know how you bet points or whatever on here, but if you are serious, I will bet anything you want. Say what you want about Wilder, but to act like a fat 40 year old, with exactly zero decent wins without peds, has any chance of beating Wilder is ridiculous. We get you hate Wilder.

Now back it up and prove you mean it, or go slither away until the next Wilder article appears and you pop back out to troll again.

Hahaha @ Farhood. Deontay was never going to fight Povetkin in Russia. I always liked Farhood, but Showtime has him peddling this bulli****.

Keep hoping and praying bigot. Ortiz is going up sleep!

[juggernaut666]

There is no blaming anyone. Just watch the fight and stop crying over who sells out what lmao. Joshua seats 70,000 seats and his gates are trash compared to fights where arenas only have like 12,000 seats. Nobody cares about seats and ppvs except Joshua fan boys who will keep claiming and using the draw excuse to avoid Wilder. Only thing is boxing always comes full circle. The ***** will be forced to fight Wilder one day!

Seems like you're lost more than usual .This is a thread that involves some thought process ,not some 15 year old mentally ill poster with no education to add to that .

Which IS you !

Even if you don't consider the top draws in boxing. How is Wilder a draw? Dude cant sell out his own hometown, which should slam dunk considering hes the supposed heavyweight champ. Yes, He has people talking about him on internet boards and debating his worth, but outside that he is not talked about or he doesn't draw people to his fights. That's fact, so out the top draws how can you consider him a draw?

Thought process? Dumbass lmao. This is how you deal with **** blowing Joshua fans like you. Take your fake ass boxing opinion and shove it up your ass loser. Lol.

It is a big fight in the U.S it's a lot for Wilder to prove to become a bigger draw.
