    Hearn is going to make Americans pay ppv to watch Wilder vs Molina, Duhaupas, Spizilka... ? UK casuals will pay to watch Femi vs some tba but not Wilder.

    Hearn promoted a fight in New York and drew far less than most shows at Barclays or Madison Square Garden. If he’s a huge ‘star’ promoter, he didn’t show it.

    Tell me, when you say tennis is more popular do you mean for 2 weeks a year or are Brits generally able to list off the top 10 in the world rankings (I’d be surprised if the average sports fan in the UK couldn’t name 10 boxers), and do they watch ATP weekly events? In the U.S., most sports fans tune in to golf for the Masters (or at least keep up with how it’s going) but are far less aware of any other events — I’m guessing Wimbledon is more like that in the UK.

    When I see fights broadcast from England, there are usually a lot of people there. They show a ton of it on TV, I gather. Don’t they even have a subscription channel for boxing? Don’t the networks and the major newspapers write a lot about it? Seems popular to me.
