    Ksi v Logan Paul (2 Youtube 'Celebrities')

    800,000 PPV at $10 = $8,000,000

    Manchester Arena = 21,000 (Sellout)




    Wilder v Ortiz

    Wilder Purse = $2,100,000

    Barclays Center = 14,069 (Out of 19,000)




    Maybe he should consider it.

    Alabama is close to getting dial up internet.
    After that Wilder will take off.

    Wilder should be a way bigger draw than he is currently, however, his career path has been so SLOW he hasn’t gained any momentum to take him to the next level.

    The guy has milked his belt worse than anyone in the history of boxing and that’s the reason he isn’t a bigger draw.

    Why not quote the Parker vs Fury fight PPV numbers if you wanna know why Wilder wouldn’t wanna fight on there?

    But Wilder is a huge draw man and deserves 50/50 with Joshua!

    Wilder isn't popular enough in Alabama to fill up the local It'll Do or Tumble Inn.

    Ok....

    Why doesn't Wilder hire KSI to be his promoter then?

    He's getting more numbers than Finkel/Haymon have got him.



    Plus KSI is black....So wouldn't be a 'White guy taking all his money'.

    The followers of those two content creators on youtube totals 37 million (KSI 19 million, Logan Paul 18 million).

    Therefore making the fight on the same platform makes sense and it is going to sell very well. In this case they managed to attract 2.1% of their combined subscribers to purchase the fight on youtube, to make it a massive success.

    Boxing is not at all at that level on youtube. IFL has only 330k in subs. Anthony Joshua only has 33k in subs. Sky sports boxing only 94k in subs.

    Boxing is not a popular enough on any boxing channel on youtube to merit there being a boxing event exclusively on the channel

    If Fat Mick had asked me before he decided to put Hughie Fury vs Parker on it, then he would still own his own home.

    He will after he beats fury.

    Hearn even conceded that he would be a huge draw.

    In fact AJ will have to fight in America and he'll be the B side since he's the paper champ. Not to mention colonizer Hearn will have to bow down to Wilder's demands.

    Why are you so fixated with what Wilder is doing?

    He's about to participate in the biggest fight in boxing.

    Why are you not consumed with Povetkin vs Jenner since you'd have us believe it was the bigger fight?

    Hes just not popular enough. Dont take it to heart Stephanie. Finkel and Dibella and who ever else saw all his flaws and never put their full faith in to him and kept his profile low and his resume weak until now, which is probably a little too late, because those fighters that havent been kept low profile and havent got a weak resume and have proper backing want to fight him and and Finkel, DiBella and who ever else wants a big chunk of what these other guys are earning. They are now scrabbling around all desperate to make Wilder seem like a draw too.

    If only Deontay had fought better opposition and built up a better stronger resume then he wouldnt be getting outdone in Boxing sales by 2 guys who dont do Boxing.

    Haha

    Boxing isn't a popularity contest you teeny bopper.

    I'm sure Justin Beiber is the most popular artist that doesn't mean he's the best singer. It just means he's the best marketed and manufactured.

    AJ is the Justin Beiber of boxing.
