    Outside of true boxing fans who knew about Luis Ortiz. It's just that it's a competitive fight and word got around. AJ's numbers should have been better, since they were not we know he's just milking his home town fans and wants nothing to do with Wilder

      I don't agree. I'm English and I'm pleased. I want the sport to do well in America and the rest of the world. The sport is more important than any individual fighter.

        The numbers are also not surprising. If wilder fought Parker in Vegas, no many in U.K. would watch it even with a prime time replay
        It's not about winning rounds. Lewis was heavily criticized during his entire career, even more so than AJ. The standards are so high for the top dogs, just winning rounds isn't enough.

        We are not entertained!

            I wonder how long it will take Lara to work his way back in line for a title shot. Also maybe this is good for him and he'll be more active instead of fighting once a year lol

                This is why wilder joshua would make a lot more money in the states.

                Vegas = more livegate $

                American ppv = 10x more $ than U.K ppv and you can’t have a american ppv airing in the noon/afternoon

                  Klit and Joshua got over $10m and Pulev was going to get $5m but got injured.

                  Good purses.

                    Now AJ is a big dude (similar to an elephant) so, if u take his coc out of ur mouth and take a few steps back then you'll see what everyone else sees.
                    His manhood is endless. I refuse to take it all out of my mouth or he might put it somewhere else
