    what does this say about inflated numbers in the uk?

    you can pack 80k but still do less of a gate than the t mobile arena when canelo is a lazy chavez jr?
    It says UK fans like to watch their fighters. They have little to no exposure of fights in America because they aren't big enough fans to stop up until 4am.

    Joshua's numbers would break into the top 30 biggest gates in Vegas every time out. Non of your fighters are doing those kind of numbers.

    It's hilarious that you want to diss UK fans when Americans don't turn out at all for their own. Half the arena was UK fans for the Wilder-Fury fight. Wilder can't sell out in his home town. You have 6x the population of the UK FFS and 300k sales is a huge success to you clowns.

        if america were the size of michigan wed all be supporting our own fighters...were much bigger and have alot of other stuff going on....

        you are acting like i dont already know the US as a country isnt all that interested in boxing as a sport...ive long conceded that

        but you are still here trying to tell me UK fans dont care about wilder unless hes fighting a brit...and im telling you they cant be boxing fans if they dont care or know wilder....wilder was on p4p lists top prior to fury fight and right now sits as the guy with the most votes just left off the top 10....they should be watching him

        but it sounds like your tiny country just gets a bunch of guys to show up and get drunk and chant like at a soccer match with no real clue about whats goin on or who is there if its a foreigner

        explain how the t mobile can draw more money at the gate than wlad/AJ with 80k in the stadium.....

              It's not only Brits, Wilder can't sell **** in the US without a Brit either. So they aren't real boxing fans either then?

              Our little country are the most passionate fans in the world. I can feel your jealousy in your posts. **** if it wasn't for Mexicans boxing would be dead in your country. They're the ones putting the money in.

                  funny you should mention the mexicans....

                  the pride of your nation(would be a shame to ours), AJ, fought Wlad(i dont have to explain who he is right? hes european and pretty well known) and filled 80k seats in a stadium

                  yet two mexicans in the US sold more in tickets in an 18k seat arena.....i guess those mexicans have more money than we think huh? since alot of those tix were pretty high prices

                  theres no jealous here mate...i accept boxing in the US for what it is....just know if the US were the size of michigan wed have all our fighters backs too....but were bigger than that.....too much going on here for americans to follow the sport day to day

                  it would be cool if more americans just showed up to fights to get drunk and do cheers without really following the sport like it seems the people in the UK do according to what youre telling me....thats really neat of them....

                  MLB, NFL and NBA dominate our sporting landscape...kids dont look up to boxers here anymore

                  in 91 when bowe, tyson and evander were worth nearly 100 mil each lawrence taylor was making 2 mil a year...now the NFL has hundreds and hundreds of guys worth 8 figures....the nba has guys on the bench who play 20 minutes a night worth 8 figures.......while wilder is taking around 3 a fight now....the landscape shifted...im certainly not in denial about it though.....like you seem to be about the standing of your country

                    Sold more tickets in an 18k arena? How does that work?

                    You should be the ones ashamed. Mexicans outselling US fans in the US.

                    You can bring up the past because that's all you have. It shifted because you were no longer the best. America doesn't like competition, that's why their favourite sport is one only they play. If all the soccer players were boxers you'd have no boxers to speak of at all. Your little guys have no sports to play.

                      It cracks me up when Americans call Hearn a liar etc and Joshua fans naive sheep but then turn around and take everything Finkel and Wilder say or post on social media as gospel.

                      Yes Cobra, you're an independent thinker
