    Boxing is only popular among Latino's in America. They don't tune in to see heavier weights or non Latino fighters.

    Yes I wondered why they all of a sudden wanted to break AJ`s attendance record.

    The undercard was very poor (compare it to the excellent undercard for Fury-Wilder III).

    And Fury's opponent was very poor - everyone knew before the fight what the result would be.

    I actually streamed the fight because the undercard was that poor and I wasn't paying for what I knew to be a less than stellar fight.
    It turns out I wasn't wrong. Also it's not surprising it didn't do well in the US as it was a UK domestic fight and Whyte is hardly a draw outside the UK.

    Who cares.. especially about the fat Yanks not buying it… Why do people get wrapped up in figures about a fighters purse or gate numbers… That's up to the promoters why do we give a ****…it was an amazing event and I'm sure Warren will make his money back somehow so don't cry folks..

    Very poor? Stop talking ****.. Whyte has been a top five heavyweight for years.. only man to beat Parker, other than Joshua.. KOd Chisora too.. he is certainly no Hall of Famer but to call him very poor is some BS

    I believe it, considering it's almost been 3 months since the fight and the numbers are just being released.

    Good, now maybe Greedy Bob can stop putting these ESPN+ quality fights on PPV.
