    How is that any different to every other fighter? Certain fights will generate more PPV Buys than others. That applies to every PPV fighter the world over.

    What it doesn't mean is every fight Joshua has needs to hit the Klitchko numbers. Why would it?

    The declining demand for his fights indicates that any non Wilder or Fury fight may be better at the Emirates Stadium.

    The emirates has a capacity of 20,000 under the amount of tickets sold for Povetkin?

    Define decline?

    Joshua v Parker was held at Cardiff and sold out 70k.

    Wembley has 90k capacity and they filled 80k. They didnt sell any less tickets.

    Selling over 1 mil PPV Buys for a mandatory defence isn't a sign of a decline

    Decline - fook me google it if you did not attend school mate.

    20,000 plus empty seats is a fact and the growing army of red seats will continue in March should he face another pudding.

    So the end result there was no decline from the Parker fight.

    Glad we had that sorted.

    Are you dizzy?

    If 80,000 were in attendance at Wembley while there were 70k in attendance at Cardiff the end result was what?

    AJ has mass appeal. I watched it in an up market bar/casino and there were more girls than guys watching the fight. The fact that woman are interested will drive the buys up from guys who might just have streamed it otherwise.

    After one of the World Cup knockout games in the summer it went from the football to a show with AJ and Bear Grylls doing adventure sports. Millions of people who probably never watch boxing would have watched that. Apart from Canelo in Mexico he's operating on a different level of celebrity to every other fighter.

    This is a very fair point. Lasses at my work, who never watch any boxing, will watch AJ fights and talk about him at work. Happens all the time tbh.

    The attendance at Wembley was less than 70,000 - the touts left holding tickets again. Hope you understand that tickets sold does not = people on seats

    Arsenal sold every ticket last season and the crowd was announced as 60,000 even in games where there was more seats empty than full.
