    He is exciting for about 30 seconds so if a fight goes rounds yes it is boring because he does nothing exciting.

    The exciting bit is watching him go off like a spastic in a washing machine once he tags someone.

    Why would the crowd boo if it was exciting??

    Crowds boo in every fight. Jesus Christ. Have you actually ever been to a boxing match?

    They booed in the Wilder-Ortiz fight, and he gave Ortiz a concussion about 20 seconds later. And then they weren't booing anymore.

    He dropped the guy three times and was nearly dropped himself. It was one of the best fights this year. And it ended concussively.

    What do you prefer? Two non-descript light flyweights slapping each other for 12 rounds without the slightest hint of a knockout ever coming?

    It's not that fewer people bought them The problem was that small PPV shows asked for more money, and they sold less. But the big names still sold a ton.
    Which in turn lept the small shows asking for big money.
    I found it ridiculous that GGG vs Canelo was 80USD.
    GTFO

    Want to sell more? build a model T everyone can afford. 20 bucks is a good price for a fight. Kinda like a night at the movies (uh hmm with out popcorn and coke)

    Did you even read what I wrote of do Wilder's nuts get in the road of the screen?

    FACT crowds boo when there isn't any action going on.. No action = not exciting...

    Now when Wilder does connect it does get exciting....
