Man whose stadium was snub quoted TV station with rival.

salty .....

Seriously sell it out or shut up .. simple.

Brett Yormark's unique understanding of the New York sports landscape assures the CEO of the company that operates Barclays Center that the market can support two heavyweight title fights scheduled within two weeks of one another. The first of those two events, headlined by WBC champ Deontay Wilder and mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale, will take place at the Brooklyn building Yormark operates May 18. The subsequent heavyweight championship match in New York, IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO champ Anthony Joshua against Jarrell Miller, is set to take place at Manhattan's famed Madison Square Garden on June 1.

“New York is the biggest sports market in the world,” Yormark said. “There’s no question about it. Just like there’s nights where the Nets and the Knicks play, and the market is big enough to support both of those events”.

Dare say that wouldn’t even make it the biggest sports market in the US, let alone the world. Just off the top of my head, Manchester, when United and City play at home would attract a combined crowd of over 120,000... then you might have a boxing sellout at the MEN Arena on the same night.

Then you’d have London with Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham... plus Twickenham, Lords for Cricket, York Hall etc.

York hall?? At least Wembley, even though technically it’s not really in London

Lol these guys have gone full troll mode.

I’m American and no one here knows who wilder is.

Canelo is the most known boxer in the US handsdown but these trolls don’t want to accept it if it ain’t an American.

When it was looking like Robbie was going to lose the bet, he panicked and canceled the bet. Repeatedly stating he wouldn't honor the bet and that the bet was canceled.

So why should I leave?

Lololololol....At the time when he said he wanted out you probably lambasted him ,now you are using that as a technicality. It’s all good

Of course I lambasted him. He revealed himself as a dishonorable coward. I begged him not to cancel. I hired a private investigator because I planned to sue him over canceling. But it turns out he's a minor, so I can't really sue him. So I just let it go.

That’s not even including Wembley, 02 arena, Olympic stadium which all host events from different sports like Football, NFL, NBA, Boxing, Athletics, Tennis tour finals.

This may be true but why does Joshua continue to live rent free in these guys head? These guys can't do a interview without mentioning the guy across the pond! So who is to blame for Joshua making 10x the money per fight than Wilder? If Hearn is such a scumbag, why does his fighter makes so much money compared to Finkel's Wilder? Maybe, just maybe, Hearn is not such a bad guy after all and maybe Wilder's handlers are the bad guys!

They’re all as bad as each other. Probably all in on it together too.

Having said that, I do feel like Deyontay is the one losing out. I’d love to know what he’s getting for the Breazeale fight

Wilder the chicken has gone off Instagram, he has been trolled repeatedly after ducking the 100m, what a dosser, that ��

And literally dozens of lower league football teams that’ll draw bigger crowds than the Knicks. Fulham, QPR etc...
