Kovalev before he hit the vodka, and with fair officials, would have krushed him.

You can't be the best Pound 4 Pound fighter in the world and still getting paid only peanuts. It only goes to show that ESPN is willing to throw large sums of money for its boxing content and Bob is more than willing to capitalize on it.

The only UK viewing figures released were of the number of people who watched it via illegal streams, which was approx 1 million.
That's a hell of a lot for a fight that started at 4 am, and as PPV prices are so low over here, I wouldn't be surprised if at least the same number watched it legally. It was a very big fight in the UK.

That being said did you catch where hearn was saying that this fight didn't sell any tickets & that they had to givem away?(That's what all promoters do when fights don't sell but it amazes me that there was several posters referencing there supposedly being 10000+ crowd as if they assumed the tickets were not given away)

when wilder has good attendance, of course, its obvious they gave away at least 9k in tickets to firemen
I didn't go to the Wilder-Fury fight but also didn't hear of free tickets given away from people I know. They said a LOT of U.K fans came for that one. A heavyweight title fight involving an American title holder and a Brit should sell better than a Ukrainian lightweight vs. his British mandatory challenger.

There was a pretty good amount of U.K fans too. Lomachenko sells well for a Ukranian lightweight who's apparently boring and sucks. It's funny to see how salty people get because he's consensus p4p #1 and well respected in the trade. To see the outrage at anything remotely positive is quite hilarious. IMO he's talented, entertaining, humble and the best in the game currently. Probably why people of all backgrounds want to see him live despite being a Ukrainian lightweight.

just letting you know...again....theres a group of guys running around here whenever wilder fights that say they just keep giving away tickets...but if loma is fighting nobody they would swear every body was a paying customer...you know the type
when Floyd fought hatton and pac fought hatton there were a ton of brits there too...doesn't mean if none of them went those seats wouldn't have been filled( I got 4 tix for hatton/pac for free)
