KSI vs Logan does 800,000 buys, breaks UK records.

That's very true.
Wembley might do 100,000 but the gates at Vegas generate more and Hearn has admitted as much.
Makes me wonder, Hearn said he was open to having the AJ Wilder fight in US then all of a sudden said UK only. Despite the fact he admits it will make more money in Vegas. That's fishy to me.Comment

This just goes to show how powerful social media is in this day and age. Those are ridiculous numbers for some amateurs. That said, all 4 guys that I watched show some decent skills for their first fight or two. I was really surprised.Last edited by Boxing Goat; 08-27-2018, 02:19 PM.Comment

They want control of the promotion pure and simple. Which is perfectly normal bearing in mind who will be bringing the big money to the event (on either side of the pond).That's very true.

I think Joshua vs Wilder or Fury would prob be looking at just below $20million dollars in a 100,000 seated Wembley and ticket prices adjusted for AJ being a legit superstar now. That would put him well up there in the all time Vegas gates based on the list im looking at on NSAC website.
In 70,000 seater at Cardiff, he did about $12.9mill (£10mill) based on reported numbers. That puts him 14th all time just behind ODLH vs Trinidad. And that was vs a complete non draw in Pulev (when the tickets were sold).
He is drawing comparable numbers to Vegas fights in the UK. If he got above $15mill he would be doing better than the Mayweather Maidana fights and close to top 5 all time.Comment
