This content is protected 7.8 Million views on Foreman - Holyfield, note it’s not across multiple videos, the Valuev one was part 3 of 6 and oddly the others had far less views.
Isn't Ali vs Foreman the most viewed Boxing related content on Youtube ? Aside from like, maybe some typical clickbait Tyson videos ? It's got 96 million views, those are some pop music numbers. If we go by less mainstream fights, Holyfield vs Dokes is almost at 3 million This content is protected Duran vs Benitez at 2.2 This content is protected
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran 1 - 8M views This content is protected Marvin Hagler vs Thomas Hearns - 10M views This content is protected
Any Pacquiao fight. Filipinos have the highest daily internet usage in East Asia iirc. Tyson, Floyd, Ali, Canelo, Chavez, and ODLH also draw big numbers.
I can only say WHY? There are so many great fights out there. My personal favorite is Matthew Franklin v Richie Kates.
Getting a high click rate (on YouTube or anywhere else) has a lot to do with the headline and thumbnail. There are YouTubers who are very adept at nailing this and enticing people who really aren’t boxing fans but know who, say, Mike Tyson is and dressing up one of his lesser fights (or highlights from one) as some kind of must-see. I’ve come across videos of fights with some fairly mundane stoppages labeled ‘most-see KO’ or ‘spectacular knockout’ or some such and just chuckle and shrug and move on.
No offence but what of it? Why not? What you’re saying is totally irrelevant, it’s just a question there are other threads to discuss fights you like? Curious result IMO considering the above why on earth would Valuev draw 7.8 Million views lol I suppose because of how big he is?
