13,181 Attendance for Wilder/Breazeale

[rolshans]

Very disappointing given Wilder's star-status.

Time to diagnose what went wrong.

Was that fight never going to do good numbers? Did the promotion stink? Or did the fight actually have hype, and the promoters made a mistake in closing the upper level?

What's wrong with the numbers? That is about what he does at the Barclays. I mean I'm sure the Ortiz numbers were a bit better, but that fight was also just flat out better.

[Nehnenqui]

That actually ain’t bad considering the opponent.

But for a dude that thinks he’s the biggest superstar in boxing and thinks he’s worth $80M for one fight that’s a horrible attendance figure.

I guess I can understand the insecurity of him and his weird fans though. The biggest star in the U.S. is Canelo and he’s from Mexico. And Joshua will probably do a better attendance than Wilder and he’s from England.

[Robbie Barrett]

But i thought he was the American cash cow? Joshua sold 17k tickets at 4x the price of Wilders weeks ago.

[W1LL]

90,000 in a British football stadium doe!

You hit the nail on the head. It's very in-line with what Wilder does at the Barclays. He's better known now. The numbers should be better.

Well it was not an intriguing fight imo beforehand

[Boksfan]

Fans don't like Wilder so they don't buy tickets, this is as simple as a pie.

Definitely the fact that he wasn't fighting AJ or Fury played a part.

I thought the "catch a body" comments would've gotten the casuals' attention though. I guess not.
