Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder-Fury Has Only Sold 8,000 Tickets; Not A Good Look

[Laligalaliga]

then how is he #2 in boxrec?

Hez only #2 cos he KO bums. It's simple.

yeah but alabama is a re-tarded place with no money. even if you built wilder into the biggest star alabama has ever seen that wouldn't be 1 percent of being a meh star in california.

Wilder has a 20k-seat venue to fill in, is in the 50th largest metro area (just over a million people in the region), and is in arguably the 2nd most important market in the solid South after Atlanta (with New Orleans in the mix too). $300-$50 for the tickets should be doable, with $500 for ringside being viable too.

California dwarfs Wilder's market, but don't play the man as if his market has zero potential money in his market

Obviously he is not doing well in LA.

How Eddie Hearn, on an event that he has no part in and an event for partners who have no reason to tell him **** after he stalled out the Wilder-Joshua talks, has access to actual ticket numbers is hilarious.

Believe what you want, I guess

You are not making any sense bro. What exactly are you talking about?

Selling $30 tickets to see the UK Olympic heavyweight champion, who won his gold medal in London for ****'s sake, in a country with far fewer options to entertain yourself with, is a pretty easy proposition

If they're bums, he wouldn't be #2. You clearly don't understand how boxrec works. If you beat low level opponents, those wins are worth very little in the formula.

He is the issue cos he KO bums and has refused to fight a live body. It's also his fault he has never been on ppv and can't sell out arena 's.

The pricing system is not his fault cos greedy People run boxing in the US to make others feel like thats where the money is by reaping off celebrities and other high profile citizens instead making it pocket friendly for all that love the sport.

Meanwhile, it is what it is for now so let's see how it goes with matxhroom USA and DAZN to see how far they can go with this monthly subscription.

lol...you are irrational....you let your emotions about wilder cloud your judgement.....

he fought ortiz and is now fighting fury....povetkin ducked his way out of a fight by testing dirty.....and joshua turned down 50 mil after he asked for 50 mil

exactly who is he supposed to fight to prove himself? lemme guess...jillian whyte?!?! LOL

I don't even understand what you wrote.

I can see you derive pride in been milked like a cow..... That's your business.

I don't want some ******s coming on here to cry and tell us how boxing in on all time low in the US and bla bla bla. No one cares anymore.

Boxing in the US is meant for celebrities and the high profiled instead of the hard core and casual fans.

Keep over paying to see Shyyt ppv 's and come here to tell us how big the market is.

What you have succeeded in doing is making up excuses why his resume is this poor.

Podvetkin was cleared of PED same as Ortiz so what stopped the fight from happening? Is it because hez not a HBP patient?

He picked up fury at his weakest state to make the fight very quick in other to boost his shyyte resume. Meanwhile dillian whyte offered a career pay to fight in the US but he ducked.

Wilder try as much as possible to run away from physically fit fighters. That's why even in US, nobody wants to pay to watch him beat us unmatched bums.

Am sure you are not surprised hez never been on ppv.
