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.Comment

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.Comment

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 ViewersComment

Yep. Wilder not a big seller, Joshua unknown, but people think it's going to do massive gate money and PPV's over there?

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 unfortunatelyComment

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.

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