Over/Under 97k buys this weekend for Wilder-Fury?

[Jax teller]

Joshua "won" a gold medal in his country. From ther on his career was all about turning him in a star.
Wilder started boxing just to pay for his daughter surgeries. From the start he planned to be a journeyman. Only a few years ago he started pushing for more

Yeah that's from the start but Wilder has been a champ for the longest as we keep getting reminded and that means he's had more time to be invested in, unifications etc, but this has not happened and this current cards looks similar when talks of GRJ and Tank being on it started gaining momentum but it has lost it now.

I know the AJ cards have been pants but he doesn't need to build his name atm.

They need to plaster today’s press conference chaos on every sports channel tonight to get the buys

For me? He's not as marketable.

His wannabe Tupac bandana bullshiat and personality and looks, size don't, just all that combined don't interest me to become a fan.

To be fair, neither does Joshua...but I can see why people would gravitate towards Joshua and cheer him on.

So your just not that into current HW boxing that's fair.

Pretty much. I rarely post on Heavyweight matters.

Wilder, Parker, Joshua, Whyte...meh

You think if you was gonna watch it on your own for whatever reason, $75 is so much. Also guessing from Wilders own background which is where I assume you get the most of your fans they are people that have nothing or little money so $40 would be much more obtainable to them.

It's like these guys want to pay more money.

No matter how rich you are. There is no pride in paying $75 when you can actually get it for $40 or better still is it's available for $10.

Boxing should be a sport for all who is interested. It should be a sport that will pull people away from the comfort of their houses tomorrow the arena in mass just like football.

Fans can actually be at home to watch football but you can see the turn out.

Boxing can attract such too if it's packaged well.

Perhaps because we are sick of being asked to pay 75 bucks to see fights that should be on the networks we pay monthly fees for.

well just dont pay 4 it, its not the first or last PPV you would think that boxing fans would actually talk about boxing but you guys have really ruined this site

Wilder is champion since 2015. Hearn is building Joshua's brand since 2012.
I agree they could manage Wilder better, he only started to appear in other media this year. I guess they planned to hype him with a Klitschko fight and then with a Fury fight. When both fell through they got in a limbo with no big name to fight. But they could advertise him a lot more

Also could've tried outbidding AJ on unifications and securing them.

Sounded like AJ wasn't really at the point in his career to start challenging for world titles but took the risk when called out by Martin so maybe they would've been reluctant to bid as high as Wilder. Martin looks like he was just trying to sell the belt.

Maybe Wilder doesn't help himself with all his recent self pitying about how hard he's had it, he doesn't appeal to the publics empathy, he just aims to say you don't know, how could you understand what he's been through. He's loud but he's not got Ali's silver tongue. I think less could be more sometimes and his team that he pays for this sort of stuff, should be advising better ways to put his conflicts across.

Over. They’ve upped the hype for this fight x100 this week

[Boxing Goat]

I say it will be between 200-350k buys. That said, it is priced too high @ $74.95 in HD

Someone was dead nuts on wasn't he?

That's what I thought.
