this shyt is not selling like that at all from what I have seen
Americans don't turn up to boxing full stop, 20k for a crowd is nothing compared to the way the rest of the world turn up to boxing. This is why Hideyuki Ohashi could give two fukks about the US market, it's largely irrelevant for Inoue.

What I'm saying though is Inoue guarantees a minimum of 50,000 in Japan, as well as a huge domestic ppv.

In America there's rarely a fight with more than 40,000 (Spence v Crawford for example), and a bantamweight from overseas is never getting more than 15k max, that's just how America is.

And what im saying is the promo for this fight has been horrible, and if you want to expand Monsters reach they could have put him on a stacked card or leverage the Ring event in NYC the same weekend especially since Monster has been meeting with Turki already. The spectical alone would get eyes on him to get casuals researching him
