Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Joshua vs. Wilder Won't Crack 350K Buys in US

[Fabes88]

I think he might be right. not many people know Joshua in USA

Loll behave yourself. So it’s joshua’s fault then? Ok tell me who in the heavyweight division will he do more buys with then?

OScar speaking the truth and people don’t like it

[MrRolltide91]

Probably 500k...

Have to disagree, by the time the fight happens (if it happens) and both fighters are undefeated, esp with the backstory of Joshua seeming to avoid the fight for 2 years or so will tap the mainstream.

It will be the biggest domestic HW championship promotion the US has seen since Tyson/Holyfield 1 before Tyson went to the jail.

750,000 at a minimum, casuals will eat the fight up.

Wilder needs a promoter. Than it will do about 700k

I actually agree with Oscar for once. Nobody, and I mean literally nobody gives a **** about either of these guys on this side of the pond.

He's wrong in belittling any fight that brings some genuine attention to the sport. His effort to promote Garcia while demeaning a potential PPV rate is unnecessary. In the meantime, Garcia's worth is currently a fraction of what these big boys can earn.

I already know that I been saying that on this website for a while. They are not well boxers at all outside boxing fans. I think Deontay vs Fury will set the tone for Deontay in America Cuz he's a nobody here. They will need to do a big press release for AJ vs Deontay .

Agreed, no matter how much certain fighters annoy me, I’m always pro fighter, they risk everything after all, I hope they both make a fortune.

Oscar is right. Joshua gets terrible tv ratings in the U.S.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

I agree with Oscar. I will be getting the Canelo-GGG and the Khabib-McGregor PPV's that will be the 2 months previous. They are better fights and casuals are much more likely to buy both of those fights than Wilder-Fury.
