    I'm suprised they didn't try to add more bulk when he's facing a big puncher in Stiverne.

    People forget Wilder competed as a heavyweight (max 201 lbs) as an amateur.

    He's simply not as big, girth-wise, as the Britsh superheavyweights he'll compete with, or Klitschko.

    He makes up for it with his speed and power. No, he's no threat to Klitschko. But he'll probably knock out Stiverne, unless Stiverne lands a lucky punch.

    It's more or less... "for the potential of the future for Wilder if he wins!"

    Of course neither of these guys with a weak undercard (all respect to LSC) will sell many tickets.

    People lost interest in the Heavyweight division long ago. Low ticket sales doesn't surprise me one bit.

    That's just an American thing. 25,000 seat venues sell out in hours in Europe for HW fights.
