First time in boxing history when half of the crowd left just before the main event starts. Reminder that DAZN is also paying Andrade millions to fight for them.
Demetrius Andrade has accomplished a milestone in boxing history tonight

Eddie's spoke about this before. A lot of people turned up thinking Jackass paul was the main event and left when it ended. Most of them prob dont know who Andrade is and have little interest.
However don't blame EH for that, blame the US boxing set up over there because boxing has no place in cities like Miami, just like when EH put on cards in Chicago or Boston, they initially struggled to sell tickets. That only improves with presence and notability..and that takes years.
It's not like boxing just took off in the UK overnight, it took years to build up..and the US is way bigger meaning what happens in NY, Chicago etc means very little to people living in other place.Comment

No, Lara vs Guasha was the first to accomplished that. There was only like 100 people left in the crowd during the 3rd round.Comment

He made Wilder look like a skilled boxer.He fought like a long armed crab. The ref was looking for an excuse to give him a KO win. His fights are about as ugly and sloppy as they come. This is the guy GGG, Canelo and Jermall are all ducking??????? I think all three of them would knock his sloppy self out.Comment

Atlanta hadn't had a major fight since Holyfield. Tank, who isn't from Atlanta, did a $2.5 mil gate there and had the city buzzing. And if you're from the US you know Atlanta isn't considered a major sports town. A lot of transplants there with no affiliation to the local teamsHowever don't blame EH for that, blame the US boxing set up over there because boxing has no place in cities like Miami, just like when EH put on cards in Chicago or Boston, they initially struggled to sell tickets. That only improves with presence and notability..and that takes years.
