you lot need a hero....badly

[Bob Haymon]

Is Nevada seriously going to sanction a guy coming off a TKO loss in a title fight and a guy ranked #128 also in a title fight? I thought Wilder fighting a senior citizen was bad enough but this undercard is horrible.

[Travis scott]

what if its not successful? wilder fury was a dud so why would this one be better? i know haymon knows a lot of trump tax evasion strategies but even he can only do so much

Wilder vs fury was one of the top ppv sales in recent years

[Travis scott]

Al packing the undercard with Mexicans. We got Mexican vs. Mexican, Mexican vs. Puerto Rican, and Mexican-American vs. Mexican as the televised undercard. Why would the undercard be packed with Mexicans if they weren't the target demographic?

You still mad Spence vs Porter sold well

[Travis scott]

you just mad few Russians are successful

I'm furious. As evidenced by this post.

No, I'm not mad that natives of a country portrayed as heinous and evil by America aren't popular among Americans. I'd be surprised if it was any other way. Doesn't affect my love for the sport. I root for both fighters from the land I was born on and fighters from the land I live on today. Catching feelings over a stray observation only goes to reveal your own insecurities.

Wilder vs fury was one of the top ppv sales in recent years

pac-thurman did 500k
pac-broner did 400k
spence-garcia did 350k
spence porter did 360k

wilder-fury did 325k

that looks like the worst of the pbc ppvs but im not a ppv expert so maybe i missed some? wilder fury also reportedly had guarantees of 10 million dollars which means it was a flop money wise and just by my anecdotal obersvations it was promoted the most out of any of those fights which means more marketing money was spent on it. those other fights didn't have such high guarantees(cept pac) if a movie makes 100 million but has a budget of 150 million how is that not a flop?

[daggum]

so from what i can tell the card is going to be:

wilder vs 50 year old man who he already ko'd

brandon figueroa vs guy who has been ko'd in his last 2

leo santa cruz vs guy who was recently ko'd twice(won 2 tune ups since)

luis nery vs guy who was just ko'd in last fight
