    Wilder vs Fury a poorly promoted fight

    In all seriousness Wilders promotional team have let him down repeatedly and have once again here.

    WHY is this fight in LA?

    New York was the obvious choice. You could play up the Irish angle with Fury and also NY is easily accessible to UK fans where LA is not. Nobody from the UK is going to pop over to LA for the weekend unlike NY.

    The whole thing has been dumb, they needed to do a double header in the states first (in new york preferably) with Wilder and Fury both on the card.

    This fight has been better promoted in the uk than in the us but thats futile due to the reasons above.

    Every big fight can't be in Brooklyn.

    You have to build and develop more markets than that. Brooklyn, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and JerryLand are now viable markets for the biggest shows (if the Charlos can get rolling, Houston can be added to the mix too; and Chicago has too many people and too much history to not make a run at joining that if they can ever get a fighter to build around).

    The aggressive push was made to market the fight on the front end, the promotion then settled down to let both fighters commit to fight camp, and now the hard sell on the fight will come back with the start of All Access in a couple weeks and peak for fight week.

    Why act like you've never seen how the marketing for big fights has been done?

      It’s being marketed fine from what I can see. Only fight over here id heard/seen more rumblings for this year was GGG/Canelo 2

      And why are we acting like LA is an awful place for a fight? Lots of big fights happen in Los Angeles

      Vegas and LA were both pushing for the fight. LA made the bigger bid. That’s why it’s in LA

        Wow did not know you was a Millonaire or let me guess Eddie Hearn would have made it a better promotion, you are not an expert so stop talking like you know ****.

        The fight has been made, even if its empty ppv will be fine

          Wow the wilder fans really get overly emotional at any criticism don't they.

          Wilder would have made more $$$ if this fight was in NY, it is what it is.

            Yo man, all I know is that this fight should have sold out very quickly to fit the narrative that this is the biggest fight in the division.

            Joshua sold old O2 in 90 seconds against Charles freakin Martin.

                  It's definitely gotten stale. I blame it on the fight being held in LA and having a super weak undercard.

                    Once a fight gets annouced then the hype moves on to the next fight that isn't been made yet, before this fight was made the debate was would it happen or not, once it got signed the interest then moves on to another fight that fans wnt to see.
