Fight will be huge, casuals buzzing like crazy on this one. Great promotion from the team that knows how to invest in a calculated risk. PBC/Fox is killing the game.

You're certainly right about PBC/Fox killing whats left of truthful reporting and giving back to the sport of boxing.

Kiowhatta... Bro, I appreciate that positive energy. There is enough dark energy lying around here hating great promotion.

The goal is not to have one dominate fight promoter. We just want to see them all operating on the same pure level.

We the fans can only ensure that happens if we demand quality from each entity. As any union the fans have the power. We bring the casuals in when meaningful matches are happening. When that happens consistently boxing will remain a top sport.

I think those ratings sound pretty damn awesome? I mean I don't know what HBO used to get for their 24/7 shows but 750k sounds impressive!

I hope we are looking at 2m+ ppvs, I mean they spent 20+ million on the suberbowl ads so maybe this will be huge!

Lol...Makes so much sense broski OldskiG. I appreciate you and your bold commentary.

A racist is insecurity projected on to others. If one doesn’t like himself... well it just makes sense that he doesn’t want to honor his name or accurate description.

Where are the proud racists willing to prove actual dominance in a fair fight.

These guys claim superiority loudly but secretly keep fights from happening due to an embedded inferiority complex.

Much respect to the proud humans and even more love to the proud humanitarians of all shades who know the driver is all that matters.

These so called “enthusiasts,” argue all day about the superiority of their vehicle color.

But proud accomplished humans know the biggest factor in the competition is that viscious ass confident engine inside. 😂😂😂

And the safest place for them of course is on the Internet.....they know spewing that jazz in the real world risks a violent drubbing. A racist is how a racist appears. There is a Christian hymn from the 60s my Christian friends would sing called They’ll Know We Are Christians By Our Love.....well, with that logic, when these bigots come on hating haymon, hating PBC, hating wilder....and to the level they are so vitriolic in their propaganda, it’s clear what their motivations are....and no amount of Nixon two step can avoidance enable....

That is the dramatic irony of behavior. You are not what you say you are. You’re you are the truth of your actions.

Man great to meet Christians actually walking the walk. It is what all true followers of the creator should be doing.

Showing gratitude for a life that has been so gracious to each of us.

Let’s check in with each other. Even when on the internet, I need to surround myself with that type of light.

The authenticity of love that many have begun to devalue. I appreciate you and the healing spirit you present to the world.

I expected this fight to be sold out by now but there is still a good amount of tickets available on AXS. That Super Bowl promo did absolutely nothing for the gate.

Interesting how they've chosen to promote this fight. I was hugely sceptical about the February date but then it seems like it was designed to build off of the momentum of the super bowl. I'm from the UK, so i am used to big fights being promoted for weeks. I imagine it must be hard to keep interest sustained among viewers with so many competing networks. Here in the UK Sky have a near monopoly on PPV boxing (and a duopoly on premier league football) and thus can easily build a fight by simply spamming ads on their various outlets.

After all, we've already seen the fight and everyone who knows anything about boxing knows these are two of the three major heavyweights.

Tickets get eaten up very late into the day stateside. Its like their last fight in LA, the event ended up sold out but you could purchase seats days before the matchup.

I'm still trying to understand why exactly but in the coasts and LV, there seems to be a more "last minute" culture when it comes to entertainment. Here in the UK, the big stadium fights with Joshua get sold out pretty much in days...however I think that might relate to the fact that Brits have way less disposable income. The kind of high rollers you find in many of the big boxing fights in vegas probably don't scoff at paying 5-10k for a seat...especially when the casino is next door.

So Fury isn't just the HW lineal champion. Now he's apparently "boxing's lineal champion." Good grief.

[Chinned]

What’s plain as day to see is the bigots, the racists, the ultranationalists want this fight to fail. The people who hate wilder and Haymon because of their ethnicities and nationality want this fight to fail. Period.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike either that have absolutely nothing to do with skin colour lol. I like Wilder, for the record. Not keen on Haymon.
