More hype for Wilder-Breazeale than Canelo-Jacobs?

[The Gambler1981]

Wilder is not some unknown dude at this point and there is drama in the fight with their history and the body comment. Also Wilder hurts people and Breazeale has no defense so there should be action, and Wilder is not some craftsman so there is a chance he gets hurt also so with there being big stakes down the line Wilder is putting a lot on the line with his known flaws.

What is there to not get? Action, drama, possibility of a train wreck, American heavyweights that are both chirping. One fight was obviously better but what did Canelo and Jacobs actually do to sell the fight and make people care about it beyond being a pretty good fight (on paper).

Anyone else feel this way, Wilder is now a huge star.

The buzz for this fight has broken into the casual mainstream.

Yes, Wilder is now a huge star. He's so huge that instead of sponsorship deals for millions, he's selling his own t shirts at a pop up shop at Barclays. He is such a big star that his fight is on regular Showtime and not PPV. He's such a big star that he's getting so much money that they refuse to say exactly how much money he's getting for the fight. His profile is so large that this fight won't even have half the arena full tonight. He is so popular that every time he makes a Twitter post, people respond in hundreds by calling him a ducker or an idiot. Yeah, your idol is a star alright, he's the biggest idiot in boxing now. Even bigger than Broner, and that's hard to be hahahah

Lol one was clearly the better fight, but this one has been promoted WAYYYYY better. And like him or not, Wilder's fights are always fun to watch

Promoted better? they havent sold any tickets lol And this is despite dirt cheap ticket prices they are giving them away for free. The venue is scaled down already expecting a low turn out and still there are thousands unsold tickets. The venue legit might be only 1/3 full today. Some people on this website are delusional nobody outside of hardcore boxing fans care about this bout.

This fight is losing money for Showtime but better that then put it on PPV and embarrass Wilder when nobody buys it.

You cant compare anyone to Canelo's draw in the US. Where did I say its going to turn a huge profit? Im talking about talk show, social media, sports media exposure. Sho All-Access is still the best there is, they had ads on NBA games and the big ad break during the NBA draft. Wilder was all over ESPN this week despite being PBC/Showtime. I would disagree, hardcore fans on here are probably more "meh" about this than casuals who will probably tune in expecting a highlight KO

[YOU WILL LOSE]

wilder had to stoop to unheard of levels this week trying to remind people he still exists
,, that usually means tickets arent selling!!

yet there are certain morons think this is a good promotion because they thought they heard wilder's name while getting their bowl hair cuts . lol!

My point is you can't say something was promoted well when the venue literally can't sell tickets and showtime is losing millions on this event. They will not cover the costs of Wilders purse. The only time ESPN mentioned him was in a negative way condemning him for saying he wants to kill someone they barely even mention who he is fighting let alone care. Them mentioning his comments hasn't translated to promotion for the actual fight and the ticket sales prove that.

Casual fans dont care about this fight and folks pretending otherwise sound like GGG fans leading up to his Lemieux and Jacobs fights until the PPV numbers came out and reality hit. This fight losing money just depends how much Wilder is stealing from Showtime who were forced to overpay him to prevent him from going to DAZN.

Wilder has dominated the boxing scene boards of late. Over 500 posts alone on page 1.

A great day for America!

[Mr.365]

Spanish tv didnt care so that's an L yet I want to know what was the attendance & ratings for the Dominic-Wilder fight

[daggum]

great anecdotal evidence but do you think it did an 8 million live gate like canelo-jacobs? i think they would rather take the money than the anecdotal popularity. just imho

Ive seen it promoted more. Hard to promote a fight when you're really only doing it on your own streaming platform that nobody has yet.

this fight went up against an NBA play off game. Dumb scheduling lol. hard to get as many people to watch when you do that. dazn is still growing it will only get bigger.
