Is Dillian Whyte a bigger draw than Deontay Wilder?

[New England]

So what you're saying is, yes he's a bigger draw, because he's had a bigger push? No need for two paragraphs m8.

i don't think he's a bigger draw, no. wilder is about to headline a boxing match in las vegas. dillian white would be laughed right out of las vegas, nobody owuld have a f#cking clue who he is.

and joshua - wilder is bigger than joshua - white 1, which already happened, or joshua - white 2, which would be a joke.


do you think before you do stuff?
serious question, open to any british person who thinks dillan white is a bigger draw than deontay wilder.

is gdp some indication of how many people will spend money on ppvs/tickets? it's true that the us has a much bigger population than the uk and in theory wilder could be a huge draw...but the us also has a bunch of other sports etc for people to follow/spend money on. boxing is really a niche sport in the us. it would be interesting to see a study of boxing fans per country per capita. you'd have to think mexico would be up there. either way, wilder is far more interesting than whyte...don't know if people in the uk feel that way tho, and in a relatively small market like boxing, the key is to get the fans interested.

boxing matches in teh US generate amounds of money that you simply don't understand. you guys are so cluless you think this is a thread worth talking about.


ask yourself this
which fight is the biggest fight in boxing right now, and the biggest fight ever at HW
joshua - white 2?
or joshua - wilder?


f#cking idiots. the lot of you. not worth the time it takes to type up a response. sorry, it is that simple. you guys just need to stop drinking the cool aid that eddie hearn is selling you. he's not the last promoter that is going to make you look like an idiot.

Lol...I don't recall saying whyte is a bigger draw than wilder. I was asking what gdp has to do with anything. And I'm not from the uk btw...Carry on spazz.

Seriously? Nobody would give a **** if he fights Joshua again. Wilder vs Joshua is one of the biggest HW fights in a while

[boliodogs]

In my opinion Wilder is the bigger draw. He is a world champion who has KOed everyone he ever fought as a pro. Whyte has never been a champion and can't match Wilder's amazing KO percentage plus AJ knocked Whyte out.

Canada not know to be a big market so I am sure he wont lose sleep.

yeah, except I'm referring to North America.

Have you seen the ****ty fights that are put on PPV in the UK. None of those fights would be on US PPV

That's not the same thing.

They're ****ty to you because you don't give a **** about the fighters concerned. They work in the UK because UK boxers have UK fanbases.

Do you not think that UK fans look at some of the 'big' fights put on in the US and think what a ****ty card? You think those fights, with fighters with zero local support would do well on PPV in the UK?

[BLASTER1]

I think more money gets generated in the US so gotta go with Wilder.

[Tom Cruise]

What’s funny?

I’m not saying he’s as good as Wilder. He did about 500k on PPV (about $30) with no appreciable undercard. Wilder is the bigger draw, but they are in the same ballpark most likely

What sort of numbers you reckon Wilder does vs Parker?

[Rubber Ducky]

Based upon what both have generated and been able to sell so far yes Whyte is a bigger draw.

Whyte is proven PPV draw did 470K generating over £9.3 mill in PPV sales. He's also sold out a 20K arena in the O2 twice, Wilder has never had that many people pay to watch him fight live.

Yes Wilder may very well be about to fight Fury and that I believe will see far more PPV's overall and more revenue generated but it's all hypothetical. He potentially could fight Fury, he potentially could generate more and sell more PPV's but until he does he's the B-Side.

And even then how much was that Wilder pulling in fans and how much is that Fury pulling in fans. Fury's a bigger draw than Wilder too. He's sold out the O2 before vs Chisora, been a PPV fighter too with the fight with Wlad, the rematch in the UK was set to be PPV too.

Can Wilder sell out a 20K stadium and generate the same money Whyte could fighting a Lucas Browne, probably not.
