U.S. Flops vs U.K. Success

[Robbie Barrett]

I’m from the UK but let’s be honest, ANYONE who understands boxing knows there is much more money in the US then there is over here. Boxing is simply a much bigger industry in the US.

Lets be honest. Wilder and Joshua aren't draws in America. Comparing more popular fighters numbers is pointless.

If that is the case, what is Haymon and Espinoza waiting for?
Offer the fight in the US and stop Wilder for begging fights.

60% of a $25 dollar ppv, but point taken overall. Problem is to do anywhere near enough numbers both Joshua and Wilder need a bigger profile than they currently do.

Oh sh^t do you get more on the UK PPV? I wasn't aware.

Not sure they would break 300k buys right now in the US.

If Hearn does his job I think it does 750k+. And I don't see why Hearn wouldn't do his job.

These are HW's. HW's is a whole other sport damn near. I think they can go from 0 to 60 fast with the right moves. Definitely need to get Joshua to the US more first & foremost. Get his a$$ on Ellen's show & doing random sh^t like that.

[Vinnykin]

And this is why boxing is such an unpopular sport in the U.S. Imagine paying that much for a ticket or PPV.

I'd rather have loads of fans and give my countrymen the chance to come see me than the ripoff U.S prices.

This is like boasting that you pay more lol

[Sparked_26]

Yanks are probably used to being unmercifully ripped off.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Lets be honest. Wilder and Joshua aren't draws in America. Comparing more popular fighters numbers is pointless.

It doesn’t change the fact that there’s more money in US. That’s why AJ should be desperate to become a draw in the US.

[*TonyMontana*]

When you fxckers are ****** enough to pay almost $100 for every ppv and we pay £18 then you are going to do much bigger numbers
That plus ridiculous ticket prices
Though I have seen many American promoters giving away tickets
Cutting prices at last minute

You don't see those desperate actions here

Plus we are a small island the fact we can even compete with a huge country like America shows a lot

[Eff Pandas]

Unless a reincarnation of Mike Tyson comes into the heavyweight division to challenge Joshua, he won't be selling out any 65k seat stadium unless it's located in the UK.

I'd bet against that unless Hearn starts sucking at his job.

And who's buying a PPV of Joshua in the USA?

Again about 1M+ people if Hearn doesn't start sucking at his job.

Once he fights Wilder, there's nothing left. That's why they're putting it off and maximizing his profits before hand.

LOL you boxing fans have no ability to grasp non-extreme point of views. Everything is always the best thing ever or the worst thing ever.

There are a dozen or more fights left in Joshua's career & some will surely be big fights. There are more guys on the come up in the HW division then there's been in a long time. Who's gonna be THAT guy? Sh^t idk, but there is gonna be a next guy & a guy after that & so on. There always is.

[Eff Pandas]

Yanks are probably used to being unmercifully ripped off.

I think there are just more people in the US with more disposable income.

It ain't gotta be about being ****** enough to get ripped off. Most of the ****** people in the US don't have the $100 for the f#cking PPV in the first place lol.

But lotsa mfers will drop $60 to $100 on a fight they barely care about just cuz they saw it advertised enough like some mfers will get the fries with their burger at a fast food joint cuz the order taker asked.

These were considered flops in the U.S.

14k in attendance Mayweather vs. Guerrero = $10 mil gate

12k attendance Mayweather vs. Berto = $10 mil gate

This is considered success in the UK

90k in attendance Joshua vs. Klitschko =£8 mil gate

This wasn't even a superfight

14k in attendance Calzaghe vs. Hopkins = $11 mil gate

Everybody knows the money is in the U.S. Even Barry Hearn said it. Stop playing and fooling yourself. Cotto-Canelo generated more than those £15 PPV's over there.

Joshua vs. Wilder in Vegas is a higher gate and you can charge for PPV's here and there.

Keep crying like a little bytch, boxing is dead in US I can only imagine the pain you are in crybaby
