Comments Thread For: Joshua-Parker: Showtime's First Replay Peaked at 483,000 Viewers

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.

Kovalev vs Mikhalkin started at the same time as Wilder vs Ortiz (Same time, same city, one was MSG and one was Barclays if you recall)

[The plunger man]

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

Are you ******ed or what ?
Who has ever said that joshua is a massive draw in america ?
Show me one report that it says joshua is big in america ?
Hearn has even said that joshua will need to spread his name about in the states so people start hearing his name lol
But what matters is joshua sells 2 million ppv sells over here and his last 3 fights have generated 250k fight fans lol
Wilder is american
Joshua is english
kovalev has been based in the states for years and because he has boxed ward 2 times and had numerous fights there he is known
Joshua has been with showtime for 4 fights..never boxed in america and your trying to say he is huge in america.
I now know why american call canadian people dumb as f@ck becauee you take the biscuit son

I was referring to this website. You must be blind if you haven't noticed people calling AJ a massive draw and Wilder a nothing.

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

You have paypal right? Cashapp? I"m here everyday like you. If you win and I don't pay then everybody will see I'm not a man of my word. If I win and you don't pay then so be it. I"m not gonna whine over a couple hundred dollars. Scared money don't make none.

The only terms is Joshua fight has to be on Showtime like Wilder's. And if Joshua fights first we go by Wilder's number from his next fight.

[Pigeons]

790K combined. Lower than each of Wilder's last 4 fights.

He is a masive draw in the uk but not in the states
Who has said this ?
Send me that post ?
Why do you think wilder will need to come here to face joshua because i believe it will do over 2 million buys and sell 90k live gate tickets.....wilder and joshua even if they do 1 million sells in america will not make that....becaue half will go to your cable provider 1st and then the other half will go to the promoters and fighters.
Sky could charge £30 per box office which is $40 dollars in your money....were talking a really big lump here

Joshua last 3 fights in the uk were 5 million PPv buys in the uk if you want to go down that route....lets talk number of tixket sells...wilder last 3 fights sold 22k venue tickets.....joshua 250k ....its just numbers isn't it lol

[IMDAZED]

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.

You may be right that both fighters are not big enough. But you’re underestimating Wilder. In fact, Wilder-Ortiz could have been put on PPV and it probably would’ve done respectable #’s. That’s if Showtime were like HBO. Thank God they don’t.

Wilder is a pretty big name. He’s a star. If Joshua can increase his exposure to the American audience (not with performances like his last two), you have a PPV live from Vegas.

Remember to keep your guard up lol
