      Have a rest. That would mean Wilder Ortiz II did similar numbers to Wilder vs Fury. Do you honestly believe that? Or do you believe that's a marketing ploy to avoid more embarrassment?

      Do you think Showtime would have passed on this PPV if they thought it was generate anywhere near that type of cash?

      And, even if he did do 275k which he absolutely did not, then that's still a monumental flop that couldn't even recover fighters purses, and just proves how little people actually care about Wilder in America or anywhere else for that matter.
      Doesn't matter what I believe, point is you'll just believe whatever you want to fit your narrative. You act as if Fury is some huge draw here in the states. It is definitely believable to see it doing close to the Fury fight numbers as Wilder almost knocked Fury out in the 12th then followed it up with a great looking knockout against Breazeale. Casuals at work ask me about Wilder, although he is a terrible fighter he has people talking because he delivers KOs and that sells

          Listen to Rick Glaser from 30 mins on. It's very interesting.
