    Reportedly Joshua/Klitschko made $90million and Joshua/Parker made $68million - and considering that the highest grossing Heavyweight fight of all time, Lewis/Tyson, made $112million you can hardly claim that's chump change.

    And as I said in another post, the claim that you only get over a millon PPV buys with a hispanic fighter in main event isn't even true for the US because five fights in the top ten all time best selling, highest grossing PPV fights were all American affairs and one of the remaining five was an America fighting a British/Canadian.

    How many ppv’s has Joshua /wlad sold and what was the price of ppv?
    Why even compare it to tyson /lewis ? That fight happened 16 years ago.
    Ok I want to see who is gonna be that boxer who will sell over 1mil ppvs without hispanic these days.

    Floyd just did it last year.

    You can't say it's only the Hispanics. Yes, they have had a very big impact on the PPV numbers throughout the years, but they are not the sole reason for it.
    The two recent biggest PPV stars boxing had were non Hispanics. Now we have/had Canelo.

    And you can't really discredit the U.K. market. Their prices might be low, but the buy rate is constantly going higher. They are making a lot of money over there.

    Floyd made his carrer fighting hispanics. So I’m asking you who will be that guy to make over 1mil ppv’s ? Wilder, joshua, fury?
