Fury VS AJ should be in the U.S.

[_original_]

Depends on both camps to be honest. The mentality that it is bigger in US would have to be backed with stats. Otherwise both boxers would go where the money is.

Do you really need stats to realize that the biggest boxing events, financially and historically, have all happened in Vegas in the past 30 or so years?


Google where the most successful fights have all happened.

What's the highest selling PPV for a fight involving neither an American or Mexican in the US?

I'm assuming Pacquiao VS Hatton? Which was staged in Las Vegas.

Why are Americans so salty on Hearn?
All he does is try to.make.big fights.
Is it because of Wilder's lies?
Wilder's character has been.exposed more than his s**t boxing, surely it's clear to anyone who the liar always.has been.
I think it should be in.Wembley, London England, home of where boxing was invented.
But if money is more important than fans, Saudi may get it, which sucks - Vegas would be a great venue too like.
If it's on the moon - I'm going.

How many of those fights involved neither an American or a Mexican?

By the looks only 1 fight has ever been PPV and wasn't in Vegas it was in Dallas. Pacquiao-Clottey. Pacquiao was a massive star in the US at the time. Two Brits won't do great numbers in the US.

Forgot about that.

Pacquiao was a massive star. History shows fights need an American or Mexican to do well in the US unless you've got a massive star like Pacquiao.

I don't think there have been two Brits as big as AJ and Fury to make such a fight though.

The two champs are British. The first ever match of it's type between two Britons. The fight should be in Britain.

I'm not the most patriotic person but let us have our moment.

Yep. Fury/AJ will very likely do significantly less PPV buys in the US than Fury/Wilder 2 did (and its not like 800k is earth shattering in the first place). Fury might be hot in the US right now but if theres not a big name American in the mix I think this renewed US interest in the division is going to be short lived. Put that fight in the UK you could seriously be looking at 2 million domestic buys + its on PPV in plenty of other places in Europe while being on at a relatively convenient time.

Without really thinking about it, I feel like it has to be in the UK...but yeah money-wise not sure where it would really be best

I agree, but at the end of the day money talks.

Put a ring on a barge in the Thames, let millions watch it from the banks on either side and from the bridges. Now THAT would be historic.
