    This fight wasn`t the success fans were led to believe, does this mean AJ is still the biggest name in heavyweight boxing?

    What "Buffer" is saying may very well be true, it doesn't sound too implausible, but i don't trust a word he says. He's a Matchroom shill through and through now, if it actually is him

    Miller isn`t as big a name as Fury, AJ v Fury would be huge in Britain, Miller isn`t a serious test compared to Fury so that could hurt sales even in America.

    Jarrell Miller is an easy fight for AJ, that's why he is taking it now and going to USA for it.

    The headline of the thread doesn't match the subject matter of the video...

    Even if the fight did the numbers they claim it did and not what Buffer says Joshua is still the biggest name in the division. Deontay Wilder is not even close to matching Joshua's pulling power no matter how many times he wants to claim he is the new A side.

    But the strangest thing about all that is Team Wilder are claiming the fight did such an amount of tickets and such an amount of PPV's but they are unwilling to prove it by releasing the real numbers. But then before the fight they were claiming it was a 50-50 split and a 2 way rematch clause and they turned out to be false.

    Thats what they are all saying which is good . If AJ Miller surpasses Wilder fury then there can be no excuses after wards

    It may well be true about poor ticket sales however the value was in the way the fight ended.

    5,000 tickets were left unsold according to the vid and Bruce Vane is a Wilder hater, always saying AJ is the bigger name and better fighter.

    Wilder and Fury need the rematch, Wilder`s rep is in tatters and Fury wants a belt and feels hard done by, where else are they gonna make bigger money? The AJ path seems closed, I don`t know who`s to blame.

    Wilders rep is not in tatters as that would suggest it was up there beforehand,Wilder is in the best position he’s ever been in imo.

    Miller vs AJ will will still sell more UK PPVs that either wilder vs Fury fight without a question.

    Obsviouly Wilder and Fury didnt come anywhere near to AJs normal numbers but no shame it no one expected it to.
