This Weekend Fights: No Buzz...

[sicko]

That is why Big Baby was originally picked because his Antics would've helped sell this one and possibly helped make headlines during fight week. Been a very quiet fight week for sure because of no Big Baby Miller.

Andy Ruiz is a good guy, most won't find that entertaining

well the thread was about why there is no hype for the fight and there are various threads started by aj/hearn fanatics talking about wilder vs Ortiz, hearn himself is only talking about wilder, so maybe that's why it has zero buzz lol. he sure is pretty dam popular around here, and how popular he is has nothing to do with anything, I'm a boxing fan I don't go around bragging on whos more popular like some 12 year old blonde

Well yeah he's Joshua's rival, he's just had a fight and announced another one. Would be hard to not talk about him.

Same thing happens with Joshua when Wilder fights. Not lately though. Wilder has lost a lot of his 'fans' when he ducked AJ and turned down 100 million.

I'm sure you're right that most Americans are 'meh' about this fight. But what fight have they actually given a **** about lately? Mayweather v McGregor?

Boxing isn't big in America. They don't even watch their champ against another US fighter.

But it's still building Joshua's profile in the small percentage that do care. Which is what it is planned to do.

Estrada-Rungvisai and Hurd-Williams.

I'd say most American fans are far from nationalistic when it comes to boxing and will watch all competitive fights.

This card is basically showcasing UK talent to a cynical American DAZN audience. I don't think that's what the fans were expecting.

I agree with everyone. Dazn and Hearn have to stack their cards with a top headlining American or Mexican, mixed with some overseas boxers like Katie Taylor, Usyk, Callum Smith, and other nationalities.

If Hearn is trying to attract American boxing fans, a card like this won't do it. For us hardcores, we know the non-American boxers already, so we'll watch it anyway.

Haney might be the future or not, but the rest of his American boxers are meh.

Undercards never really help sell fights to the casuals. Look at any event. Most of the undercards are a ton of empty seats.

People come in and tune in for the main event. If someone was fairly popular in America, they generally wouldn't be on an undercard anyways. Co-main at worst.

Lolx......arena almost would out and still no buzz and no one is talking about it.
Maybe its the Arabians that are buying the tickets.

Yea not even close to sold out. Look at Ticketmaster. Plenty of row 2 seats for sale lmao

I kinda agree, but not when the 3 or 4-fight main card has a tight, well matched fighters. The only competitive fight here is the Katie Taylor.

Ruiz gives Joshua problems for a few rounds then aj takes over and stops him on cuts in the 9th. No kds
