Most American fights they give away free tickets and still can't get the numbers to beat those fighters.
You forget that Wilder, Crawford and Ramirez draw very big crowds in their hometowns. In the States its all about location. More territorial than the UK. Lomachenko is also starting to sell more and more with each event. Next fight is in the big room at MSG, a real test for his selling power.
He better sign AJ to one of them Don King contracts so he can never leave. There is a reason why AJ won't be at any of those Wilder meetings. Same thing like with Manny and Top Rank once he found out how much he could be making it was over.
Hearn better get it right. You can't match fighters with no personality (Jacobs) against scrubs! And the fighter with a personality (Miller) needs to win in impressive fashion to gain a bigger fan base. Jacobs doesn't trash talk or have any drama attached to him he needs a big name fighter like Charlo or Saunders to sell fights. Hekk if Jacobs was a little more aggressive against GGG he could have won, that was his moment and he missed it now he lives on the "I almost beat him" hype. Miller is a decent fighter I believe he should have been matched against Dillian Whyte in the UK (although I'm very curious to see how Whyte does against King Kong lol). We'll see what Hearn has planned to get the ball rolling.
