I find Wilder 1Mil plus more impressive because his card was nowhere near as good as this one on paper and he still did 200K more -- with an opponent who didn't speak English. I think you give AB the majority of the credit but not all of it.

Tank is very popular on social media, seemed to get the most love from the crowd Saturday too. He's been anointed by Floyd & called out by Loma. Don't think you could quantify that into drawing power cleanly, but people definitely tuned in for him.

Tank had the least amount of viewership on TV of the fight, but he did have tons of fans at the fight.

AB fans > Tank fans > Charlo fans in the building that night.

Thats crazy cause you said Tank had the loudest reception for his intro, and AB was boo'd at least twice in his fight, he also was boo'd in the 12th round lol. The haters still count for drawing power but I didn't hear the love for AB in the crowd till his good close of Round 9. Maybe it just didn't translate on TV - or they were waiting for a "Round 9"

Only reason I hope Thurman keeps the WBA strap for now is so that Matthysse's bum ass isn't evelvated to super champ

idk about that breh, Uzcategui vs Dirrell was definitely a more competitive and close matchup on paper than either Jermall vs Centeno or Tank vs Cuellar
If under "good" you are thinking about name value here and not fight quality on paper then you're right
