If Whyte-Chisora means more to your country than a battle for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world, I’m sorry for your country/

I hate to say it but there was more buzz for Dillian Whyte vs Chisora than this fight. Most people I know don't even know the fight is happening tomorrow & the rest don't care. Even every clip I've seen about this fight on social media isn't getting that many likes/views. Fury has never been a draw and it seems that's never gonna change.

But watch Warren tell porkies next week about how the fight did 1 billion PPV buys with no official numbers from BT Box Office. BT hides its PPV numbers with regular TV programmes it broadcast in the UK via ESPN.

I hope the fight makes money though.Deserves to.

Iam from the UK though and of the people that are interesed in sport most seem to know its happening and looking forward to it.However the time difference is affecting potential purchases. Apart from true lovers of the fight game who is going to get up at 5am to watch it on a Sunday.

Hatton v Pacquiao and Mayweather
Klitschko v Joshua

3 fights there which had more buzz than this one in the UK.

Pretty disappointing for the 'biggest fight in 50 years'.

Chisora & Dillian Whyte have better resumes than Wilder and Fury. And the battle between the two is a better match up than the other two bums.

The best HW in the world with 4 belts and the best resume by a mile isn't fighting. So, most don't care. It's just another yank crap between the chicken legs man from Alabama and the mentally unstable *****. And both aren't draws.

I'd be shocked if they sell 150k PPV buys in the UK. Unlike the Joshua vs Ruiz 2 that had a huge buzz with most places advertising live viewings...this one has been a quiet one.

It's not legit when Wilder ducks every f***er who poses a threat.

"They're begging me to fight AJ."

"$120,000,000.00 is not enough to get me to try and unify."

Guy is so full of s**t. Brits can see this, that's why he is not taken seriously.

Fury has Pianeta, Wallin, Schwartz and a few others on his RECENT record, so he has dined out off his Wlad win for years now. Brits can see this, that's why they don;t take him seriously.

If you think this is the legit HW championship you are blind to what is going on. Dubois would beat both of them, Whyte beats Wilder easily, and Fury too. There are about 5 or 6 guys better than both of these phoneys.

Don’t listen to what this guy is saying.

It’s HUGE in the UK. The anticipation is off the charts! Its on the news constantly and everyone is talking about it.

This guy must be a Eddie Hearns fan. Or it probably is Eddie Hearns.

It's getting attention but not as much as AJ v Klitschko.

I don't feel that many people will get up at 4am for it but they will look up the highlights when they wake up.

The fact that Fury after getting robbed couldn't get the rematch in the UK shows how he doesnt have very much UK pull. Despite his protestations he would have way preferred this fight to be in Manchester with UK officials and 90% of the crowd behind him. But that was just not an option as the money wasn't there.

LMAO. It's only huge in your bedroom between you and yer missus.

There's advert for The Six Nations showing at every pub I go to but I'm yet to see one about Fury vs Wilder.

We can check social media data and it's also not huge there.
