Well I know you aren’t from the Uk, that’s all I said.
The fact you think Wilder pulls 20k fans to the o2 to fight Parker tells me all I need to know about your ‘knowledge’ of our market.
When was the last major boxing event in Uk featuring two non brits, btw?Comment

What it tells you means squat. Wilder in the UK is comparable. Whyte in the US—or anywhere else—is not.Comment

We’ve been done, my dude. You have no clue what my knowledge of the UK market is. Not a clue. But you yourself admit Wilder is a bigger draw. “It’s just closer than what people realize.” Yeah? Let’s see how this all plays out. We’ll get some answers soon.Comment

Wilder fans will skew the numbers, but, Wilder has never fought on PPV and Whyte has a couple of times now. Whyte also sold out the O2 the last fight against Parker and had a big draw against Browne before that. Meanwhile Wilder can't sell out Barclays or any gym in his home state of Alabama. If Wilder ever stepped up his level of opponents, he could start making noise and serious cash. But being an Al Hamon guy, we all know how that guys. He is just like Adonis Stevenson, except at heavyweight. He will avoid mandatories (check), fight bums (check), talk trash about other champions in his division (check) and never really make an effort to fight those other champions (check). All while saying he is being ducked. Whyte should have gotten the Wilder fight a year ago but Wilder will avoid him like the plague. And that's the reason Wilder is only making 1-2 million per fight. Whyte is not only a bigger draw at this point, but he is making more money per fight than Wilder, which is sad because Wilder has the WBC hahahahComment
