    But here I've heard they are a lot of open floor seats still in the US which would never be the case in the UK.

    Idk if they had their hands tied when Big Baby effed it up, & I suspect they did, but idk why you don't load this card with Matchroom USA guys over Matchroom UK guys.
    The bold: Truth.

    I like morning or afternoon cards from the UK, if I care about the boxers they are showing. I'm usually an all boxing Saturday kinda guy. Wouldn't have minded watching this if it were held there and had other cards from here at night.

    At least you got Joshua, your must see TV. Mine is the women's fight!

      But yeah HW is dead, no money or interest at all. Now I agree not getting the obvious fights is frustrating, but come on son.
      You are preaching to the choir! It's the casuals they are trying to attract. Real boxing fans are a rare breed these days.

      I've known Joshua maybe before you, still not interested. I liked the Wlad fight a lot actually because Wlad finally showed some balls. Joshua is overhyped beyond joke.

        If that makes you happy , so be it.
        One thing I know for sure is AJ will outsell wilders last fight by a mile at even a much higher price in his US debut.
        There is nothing you can do about that but to wail and look for another way to discredit the fight....its part of the sport, so its nothing new.

          Are you looking forward to it?
          It’s pretty dead in the UK also compared to the usual AJ buzz.

          It’s another sh**ty fight that no one wanted. People are finally getting sick of the same schtick.

              LOL, no one watches boxing man.

              Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Golf, Tennis and MMA are the popular sports in America.

                Some of the existing fans are also getting tired of their marination and mismatches. I know I am.

                  I don't blame the UK fans, either, because they have to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to catch it. Is this card worth staying up for?

                    Anyway, I hope they get some loud cheers from the Americans in the arena.

                      There's not a lot of interest for a few reasons.

                      1. This isn't the fight fans want.
                      2. Ruiz Jr. hasn't beaten anyone great and doesn't look like a worthy contender.
                      3. Boxing fans know that Ruiz Jr. is a stand in.
                      4. Casual fans probably mistake Ruiz Jr. for John Ruiz, who was dull as dishwater to watch.
                      5. Joshua hasn't built up a US audience.

                      It all adds up to one big collective "meh".
