More hype for Wilder-Breazeale than Canelo-Jacobs?

.... No. People on this board barely know this fight is happening. I haven't seen a single mention of it anywhere in mainstream.

Anyone else feel this way, Wilder is now a huge star.

The buzz for this fight has broken into the casual mainstream.

Ive seen it promoted more. Hard to promote a fight when you're really only doing it on your own streaming platform that nobody has yet.

Hell nah. But the "catch a body" stuff has seemingly gotten the news about the fight out there more.

**4truth** · 05-18-2019, 08:59 AM

Only on an individual basis, more for me, more for you I guess. Overall though, not even close.

Yes. DAZN has been bad at promoting fights and their app

**bigdunny1** · 05-18-2019, 09:05 AM

Hell no. Not even close. lol

For example you do realize there are thousands and thousands of tickets left unsold on Ticketmaster and the fight is in a few hours?

Wildher haven't sell any tickets for this fight so I guess nobody is excited

This is like GGG fans that would say this nonsense on the eve of GGG PPVS sounding foolish when his PPVS would draw like 1/10 the amount of buys, live gate etc of Canelo. I think some people judge by how many articles and threads there are on boxingscene and think that translates in the real world. It's been proven it doesn't. Wilder fight has done horrible at the box office they literally giving away mass amounts of tickets for free. No casuals are talking about this fight except for Wilder saying he wants to kill a man and getting condemned for saying it. They don't know who he's fighting or care.

Idk, Canelo-Jacobs didn't seem to have that much mainstream buzz although it probably should've. Meanwhile I've heard talk of Wilder on ESPN like 5 times this week, so ESPN is hyping. It's false hype tho; it's she-said-this hype more than the appeal of the bout....they have literally said nothing good or competitive about the fight itself. And maybe that's okay for the people making money on the fight, but for the rest of us, wtf does it matter??? What am I celebrating again?

People will watch, but hardcore fans don't care - this is barely worth streaming with WBSS on the same night.
