Joshua definitely should think about signing with HBO. Those numbers are poor.

Klitschko vs. Fury did like 1M if i remember correctly and Klitschko Pulev did like 600K.

^^^Sign with HBO??? LMAO ROTFL HAHAHAHAHA. That was a Nice Polite way to DUCK the AJ/Wilder fight. Your a AJ Fangirl D### Slurper

[Feint First]

B-side Joshua couldn't even draw a fourth of Wilder-Ortiz's numbers lmao. Add up all the live showings and replay's combined and he couldn't even sniff Wilder.

Few people in America, the #1 most important market, give a rat's ass about this overhyped bodybuilder.

[Chrismart]

I wish, I really need someone to explain how this fight can happen next in America. When both fighters are NOT big enough, when one fighter already earns and would demand a lot of money.

Yep. Wilder not a big seller, Joshua unknown, but people think it's going to do massive gate money and PPV's over there?
These numbers tie in what people have been saying about the fight needing to happen in the UK.

Over in the UK, it sells big PPV's and sells more tickets.
I know Vegas gates are higher, but I'm not sure there's enough interest there yet to generate the money.

[The plunger man]

Neither were PPV, so it’s a fair comparison.

Its not because joshua is not american lol.
So its a fair comparison with how many people watch wilder compared with joshua over here in the uk then yes ?
Talk sense 😳

Talk sense ��

doesn't matter who is American, the rhetoric that's been spewed for months is that AJ is a huge draw, and that Wilder can't even draw in his own back yard.

well, we are comparing both Showtime Main Events

Wilder vs Ortiz (Showtime) - 1.2 Million Viewers
Wilder vs Stiverne (Showtime) - 1.4 Million Viewers
Joshua vs Parker (Showtime) - 483,000 Viewers


But if you want to play the "AJ isn't American, so it proves nothing" card then here...

Kovalev vs Mikhalkin - 674,000 Viewers

There is not enough interest in wilder to make people buy the ppv against joshua in the states.
This is not a lewis vs holyfield matchup so it will not draw the numbers and it will not make big money at ticket sales at the arena.
Its a great fight but the interest in boxing in america is second rate now unfortunately

I only bet real money. What are the terms ans how much can your afford

Betting real money with a stranger on the internet is too risky. We could do a sig bet maybe?

[Pennsauken1]

doesn't matter, half of the planet was packed in Wembly to see the greatest boxer alive! 2.5 billiion attendance record! broke an all time record for any type of money as it made more than Fort Knox!

For a boring fight that I fell asleep on, kudos idiot

Was Kovalev vs Mikhalkin prime time doe?

Whatever, they are all dismal numbers for none PPV world title fights. Especially in a country the size of the USA.

surprised I stayed awake...Probably because it was only 5pm over here. I streamed the fight for free and it still wasn't worth the money.
