Comments Thread For: Wilder's KO Of Breazeale Peaked At 990K Viewers For Showtime

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

They just don't want to watch the fight on TV or buy tickets. Which means no money for Wilder and co. It generates nothing for them. Haha.

He's such a big star with a growing popularity even though his viewing figures are down as well as his ticket sales. Haha.

You keep worrying about the financials, I'll keep enjoying the knockouts.

Just slap him on ignore, the kid is clearly an obsessive mentally disordered social reject

Sid-Knee I hope you read this quote. You need help, the six months ban you agreed too with Mexican Puppet will give you plenty of free time to get counseling and prescriptions.

Thank God that we finally we have the real sources published. Obviously, you can't believe some of these envious and jealous trolls with an open and vested interest in discrediting and undermining Deontay Wilder's success.

You got a bunch of fake boxing fans who are launching this false propaganda campaign against the PBC in general and Deontay Wilder in particular.

They want to see it fail so badly that it's hurting them so much inside that they want to cry. Eat your hearts out assholes

Good numbers for a waste of time mismatch.

The fight lasted only a round so naturally people quickly tune the fuck out. It's normal. Now what's going to be the excuse when Anthony Joshua's American debut flops on DAZN on June 1st? What's the narrative going to be then? He is not going add any new subs stateside to DAZN. They are clearly going to tune him the fuck out. I just can't wait til the first of June comes around and also when October of 2020 rolls around an there is till no Joshua vs Wilder deal then Matchroom is out DAZN

DAZN has 4 mil customers,over 1 mil watched Joshua's last fight live. That's 25%. What percentage of Showtime Subs watch Wilder?

Terrible numbers when it cost the most money ever for a cable fight.

Obviously you don't know the difference between "peak" and "average"

I just can't wait til the first of June comes around and also when October of 2020 rolls around and there is still no Joshua vs Wilder deal then Matchroom is out at DAZN Eddie needs to sign that fight soon.

He has a small window left and things are beginning to unravel for him

Per the LA Times

"DAZN’s revenue for the Alvarez-Jacobs bout was estimated to be near $50 million, according to the industry sources, which exceeded the $48 million in purse money owed to Alvarez and Jacobs."

There doesn't seem to be an ESPN reports that they made over 48 million dollars in new subscription as was reported in the bloody elbow.

Exactly guy making up stuff and all I’m asking is where is he getting this new subscription money from lol

Yeah but that was worldwide and seen in over eight countries. Where all the new subs that Eddie was supposed to generate for DAZN? The number should be close to at least 20mil now. 1 mil on a sports platform is pathetic. Wilder nearly surpassed or matched that total in just in the U.S. Alone; Dumbass

The viewership numbers are lower than I expected, no doubt, even given that he was fighting on Showtime. But Wilder's name recognition in the US has increased dramatically and public interest in Wilder now rivals that of all active boxers over the last 4 years and greatly exceeds anyone but Canelo and Pacquiao. For example, look at Google Trends:

The projected Google search frequency on Wilder this week (May 19-25) is higher than that for any currently active boxer over the past 4 years. I checked for AJ, Canelo and Pacquiao:
- Canelo's peak (Sept 2018 for GGG 2) was at 92% of Wilder's peak
- Pacquiao's peak (Jan 2018 for Broner) was 62% of Wilder's peak
- AJ's peak (April 2017 for Klitschko) was 8% of Wilder's peak
- Wilder's previous peak (Dec for Fury) was 49% of the peak for this week. Mar 2018 (Ortiz) it was 11%.

These numbers are projected by Google, so it's possible they will be off slightly. But if you can't see that Wilder's name recognition and profile in the US is somewhere between 5-20x what it was one year ago.

Are these international or just the US?

All these people supposedly knowing him but it doesn't turn into money by having them buy tickets or get them watching the fight on Showtime. Just wait until his next shlt PPV numbers come in for the useless rematch that no one wants in Ortiz.
