    I never said Eubank was close to Joshua earning potential, that has nothing to do with this. I said the reasons he got parity with Wlad are similar to Brook/GGG. You basically just reiterated my point but used Joshua as an example. In Brook vs GGG it was Brook who brought the fans to the stadium, Brook who had the fanbase and Brook who would have brought the majority of the PPV buys. He is a big name in the UK, which is why he could have got parity with GGG on pay.

    You claim that GGG done low buys because of the price difference, I don't buy that point at all. To back-up my point of Brook being the A-side in the UK, if you put GGG vs Jacobs on PPV in the UK at £20, it wouldn't do 100k buys.

    Brook didn't bring all the fans to the stadium what are you talking about Brook could never headline a PPV without a name like GGG. A lot of people went because they wanted to see GGG in person, against a quality guy like Brook.

    Joshua in the UK is the biggest name and will be earning more than Wlad for the fight.

    I'm sorry but Brook is not a big name in the Uk he is less of a name than Eubank. I'm saying in terms of revenue when you like at the price difference, GGG vs Lemieux brought in as much money as GGG vs Brook.

    What a stupid idea, yes if you put GGG vs Jacobs in the uk it might not do 100k but neither fighter is from there. That's like me saying if you put Brook vs Gavin, in the US you wouldn't sell 1 ppv.

    You seem to have a lot of inside knowledge regarding the specific financials of these fighters, are you part of the industry?

    Back to my original point. The reason Brook vs GGG done such big numbers is because of Brook. If you were right in saying it was actually GGG who was the draw in that fight, then surely GGG would have done more than 97k in his other PPV?

    Also if what you say is true, and that his low numbers are down to high prices why don't they reduce the price? The benefits of having more customers at a lower price far outweighs less customers on a higher price even if the revenues were the same (which I doubt they were).

    What I'm saying makes sense, GGG got his highest ever payday and highest ever numbers because of Brook.

    You seem to have knowledge on how much people went there for Brook, did you happen to take a poll at the stadium of everyone there? Do you see how silly it is to ask such questions.

    He did more than 97k he did 150k.

    America seems to charge a lot for ppv, in the UK our ppvs are much cheaper I don't know why.

    Lol I could completely reverse it and say Brook got his highest pay day because off GGG. I'm sorry it pains you but Brook is not a huge name in the UK.

    If I was to rank them by popularityit would be:
    AJ
    Khan
    Groves/Eubank
    Carl Frampton
    Degale/Brook
    Saunders

    I will exclude Fury because he may never box again.

    Brook's fights always sell out. He will sell out a 30k stadium for Spence, do you think anyone in the UK is there to see Spence?

    Granted it takes two to tango and people were interested in GGG, but the revenue bringer in that fight was Brook. Like I said, put GGG up vs someone else in the UK and that fight doesn't do numbers. Brook was the draw.

    Lool if Brook sells out the 30k stadium I will be impressed but I wanna see the undercard first before I make an assumption of if it will sell it or not.

    If you had put GGG vs Eubank it would have done bigger numbers, if you did GGG vs Khan, GGG vs Groves they all do bigger numbers.

    Wouldn't it sell out?, yes its a mismatch and khan might get killed but Brook could have gone blind if he carried on according to Brook.
