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

[£-4-£]

Nobody outside of USA cares if it won't sell in the US. UK is the home of Queensbury rules boxing and it'll sell well over a million there. Fury is going to beat Wilder anyway.

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

Because of the time slot. Joshua vs Klitschko got 659k live on Showtime 980k replay on HBO, that's 1.6 million combined.

Joshua vs Wilder isn't Wilder vs Fury, it would sell in US prime time.

Oscar run it past me again how many ppv's did canelo do with khan and smith ....600k for khan and 400k for smith.
So without a world class dance partner canelo is not the 1 million dollar ppv man
Deluded spatula abuser

Why are you talking down on an undefeated American heavyweight trying to unify?

[jethro66]

It wont be on ppv in North America.. It will be on DAZN..That will be allot of subs for sure

[SUBZER0ED]

So an article about Ryan Garcia gets titled, "Joshua vs Wilder won't crack 350k buys in US"? On Saturday night, everyone will know that Canelo is a juicer who can't do much without his PEDs. Let's see how "the face of boxing" is regarded afterward.

Is taking Oscars word on the numbers this fight would do would be as bad as yanks getting their matchroom info from Frank Warren.

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

So you agree a potential Wilder vs Joshua fight should be in the U.K. then?

[SHO_RULEZ]

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

It could also be the fact that, though Joshua gets KOs, he isnt a truly exciting fighter . His knockouts are preceded by long lulls of action.

Who allowed this little fishnet bitch out the closet? What the fuck does he know about boxing? It seems to me that he's projecting his insecurities onto his own card tomorrow night.
