Leonard Ellerbe schooling UK casuals

You are showing you're a genuine ******. Go look up the definition of "fact". ******.

My one fact is actually, you know, a fact.

Yours are completely irrelevant.

The last unified heavyweight title fight in Vegas was Lewis-Holyfield 2.

It's the 6th largest gate of all-time in Vegas. Did $16.8 million. It was one of your top 11 that you mentioned.

The most recent "biggest fight in boxing" that was held in Vegas was Canelo-GGG. It was 3rd largest gate. Did $27.0 million.

How are you this obtuse?

So why is it a given that Wilder v AJ does more buys in the US?

Because it's the unified heavyweight championship and it's the biggest fight in boxing between two knockout punchers (and one is a brash American).

Is Wilder or Joshua as popular as any of those fighters you mentioned? OMFG. You're proving yourself ******ed now,

GGG was not that popular until he fought another ATG.

Lennox Lewis couldn't get more than 450k PPV buys except against Holyfield and Tyson aka THE BIGGEST FIGHTS IN BOXING at the time.

Golovkin and Lewis got PPVs. Wilder and Joshua have ****ing 0 in the US. 0 because they aren't draws you ******. There's no US draw in the fight. Every big fight has at least 1 draw. Wilder-Joshua has 0 draws. DERP DERP DERP.

The atmosphere is electric, but to get that paper it’s in Vegas baby!!

lmao your wrong, I know what the live is there tonight do you? Where is a mega fight going to generate more revenue lol?

And that casual is a sports business/boxing writer in the UK.

How is he schooling him? Joshua isn’t a star in the US. He would make by far more money in the UK than in Vegas. If it is Floyd or clenelo then obviously Vegas
Ellerbe sounds ignorant

Nah it’s cool, haven’t you heard? Wilder is suddenly gonna become a massive PPV draw and dig out 1million+ buys on his first attempt.

[Chuckguy]

How is that schooled?

To have a mega fight in America don't you need at least one mega star? Who's the mega star in America? Joshua or Wilder?

Wow me and Robbie agreeing on something

[drew1830]

Golovkin and Lewis got PPVs.

GGG did 150k and 170k in his only two PPV fights.

Then did 1.3 million vs. Canelo.

So your entire argument seems to be that since Wilder has zero PPVs that he could never be a part of a big PPV fight.

My argument is that GGG got poor numbers (basically as bad as you can do for a PPV fight) and then got 1.3 million in the BIGGEST FIGHT IN BOXING.

GGG was basically a zero for a PPV draw and it didn't matter when he was put in the biggest fight in boxing.
