    Las Vegas has been known as the home of boxing for a long time mainly because of Floyd residing and fighting there and other big fighters fighting there like Pacman.

    But their time is up now and Wilder is the New King of Boxing, so should Alabama now be the new home of boxing? All the top fights should take place in Tuscaloosa

    KSI + Logan Paul had a higher attendance than any Wilder fight....Or any US fight in recent memory.

    21,000 in Manchester.

    KSI - Black Brit
    Logan - White American


    Two Youtube 'Celebrities' getting higher attendances than Wilder.

    Wilder's first fight in Alabama after becoming WBC World Heavyweight Champion - 9,347.

    He only sold 14,069 in a 21,000 arena against Ortiz!


    So we can put KSI as another Brit who goes in as the 'A side' against Wilder.

    And 'It was only 10 bucks'.

    800,000 x $10 = $8,000,000


    Isn't 15% of that $1,000,000 higher than Wilder's best purse?

    You're a big dummy. KSI and Logan Paul are well established Youtube stars. In this social media era that we're living in, why are you surprised that the fight drew as much interest at it did.

    Your obsession with Wilder is borderline creepy. I'm beginning to question you sexuality. For a grown man to be this obsessed over another man he doesn't even know is very quite unusual.

    Hold on....Are you missing the title of the thread?

    Alabama home of boxing?

    Biggest star in Alabama? Wilder......

    Is he the biggest star in World Boxing? No.....He's being outsold by Youtube 'boxers'.


    I'm answering the question buddy - keep up!
