    Once again the crowd and gate sales are being pushed by travelling Brits

    Even half way across the world, out of his home country the crowd is with Fury, you could tell from the jam packed weigh in.

    British fight fans are still the best in the world and Wilder still doesnt have much of a fan base.

    The Brits love their boxing and have fewer alternate options to spend on...the other being football (nobody watches Cricket any longer).

      Best fans in the world, no doubt. Definitely not a cheap trip either. A lot of the fans are working class lads that have saved up their hard earned money to be able to make it.

        Ofcourse they are. I think wilders numbers for his last fight shows that he isn't no stand alone PPV
        Star.

        He aint no Anthony Joshua that's for sure.

          Don't worry guys. Big Wilder fans like Larryx, TheBigDunn, Curt Hennig etc will be supporting him while watching their illegal streams.

              This gets said a lot but I dont think its really true. Theres football, rugby league, rugby union, cricket, tennis, snooker, darts, F1, horse racing, athletics etc, plenty of people follow MMA as well, and its a country that land mass wise is smaller than most American states and population wise is like California + Texas.

                  Wilder will have plenty of fans at the fight. Us black folk aren’t the type to sit in line all day for the damn weigh in. Not our style.

                    Yeah I agree with the reply here, football, tennis, F1, cricket, rugby are still undoubtedly bigger sports in this country, they are better covered and have a wider audience. Brits just get behind their boxers, and the sport is in a very healthy place from British (lower levels) to the biggest stage.

                    Boxing in the US is systemically broken and they need to look at that, rather than continuously taking the cream off the top
