Since the upper tier was closed, the capacity should be around 13,000. But that wasn't the number of people who attended the fight because there were empty seats everywhere.
Did you watch the fight?Comment

thats with all the giveaways. I’ve been saying that. It sold very poorly. I got an offer from Groupon for $59 for this fight lol.Comment

I dont believe they paid Wilder as much as 10 million but i cant say that for sure. However, wether they did or they didnt im not sure the whole event made 10 million.Comment

DAZN's own Chris Mannix reported that Wilder got $20 Million now whether or not you believe it is different story:
Don't read into the ratings. Popularity is often judged through the lens of ratings, and Showtime ponied up a lot of money—Wilder was reportedly paid $20 million, through Showtime and his advisor, Al Haymon, who doubles as the head of Premiere Boxing Champions—to keep Wilder on premium TV. But don’t put too much stock in the ratings when they come out. Wilder-Breazeale was up against a compelling NBA playoff game. It didn’t have a very good lead-in. And ratings for fights like this tend to rise as the rounds go on—Wilder-Breazeale didn’t get out of the first.
Bottom line: Regardless of what the ratings say, Wilder has become must-see TV.Comment

i heard it was about $18 mil. But showtime only paid about half. Haymon dug into his own pockets to put the rest. That was just to keep him from going to DAZN and block the AJ fightDAZN's own Chris Mannix reported that Wilder got $20 Million now whether or not you believe it is different story:
