People here claimed that certain boxers need the US audience and that only the US counts. No, it was proved again today.Anthony Joshua, what an audience. Sky. Sold out o2 arena. Wembley is the next station. 80 000 people. Michael Buffer travelled to London rather than announcing the Pac-Bradley fight. Can you imagine how many people saw that fight in Europe today? I bet it was around 60, 70 Million. Alone in the Uk it could have done 20 Million. Just remember that Wladimir in his prime had alone 22 Millions at one fight in Germany, I think it was against Peters. No, we don't need the US audience. It's actually irrelevant. Boxing doesn't live there anymore. Ward had like 1 Million viewers, Wilder was on a Youtube stream. GGG and Kovalev should both switch to Europe. Look how the Russians already beat Haymon. WBC heavyweight title fight is in Russia! Not in the US. There are so many extremly good and intresting prospects from Europe and Asia .. they should stop thinking about the US because it was "the country" like 25 years ago. The audience, the money and the fame is here, not on HBO or Showtime.
