I'm cool with Usyk vs Povetking or Ortiz, both are superb fights.

Originally I said I want Usyk to debut in HW against Povetkin I thought that's more likely than Ortiz, but Ortiz would be great too

I finally found the Edwin Valero movie “El Inca” online. It’s on one of them amazon prime video paid channels called Pantaya. The only problem is that they don’t have English subtitles

I was so excited too


Anybody know where to find the English subtitles version.

I think besides Joshua neither Fury nor Wilder could sell this much against anybody else other than each other.
Wilder is far from being a Pac level draw and imo never gonna get there.

I think at it as while none of them can make this much against anybody else, Brits bought it primarily for their guy, Fury and US audience bought it primarily for their guy, Wilder. It sold 320 k or how much in the States and it sold more than double in the UK. While the name of the opponent was certainly a factor in that all these people bought the fight the draw was "their guy" at the end of the day.
And if it's true that more than 700k ppl bought and watched it at 5am in the UK tells me that Fury is the bigger draw even with counting in UK PPV prices being lower.

So you only give Fury credit for the 700k ppv buys in UK.. How many ppvs was Fury selling before Wilder??

It's natural to assume that most British people who bought it in the UK was buying it because of Fury first and foremost just as most US people bought it for Wilder first and foremost.

Saying that those ppl in the UK were waking up 5am and buying that PPV because Wilder would be such a star there is a reach. You can't prove why they bought it but with common sense it's easy to put it together.

We are comparing Wilder's and Fury's drawing in their own countries not with other fighters. Obviously as I said it too besides Joshua none of them could do these numbers against anyone else but if really 700k+ ppl watched it in the UK it's fair to assume that Fury generates more interest in the UK than Wilder in the US.

You can assume that shyt of you ignore that UK ppv cost the same as 1 meal at Applebees compared to ppv in the states going $75 a pop.. Also if you ignore that nearly 10 million people pirated this fight..

Again.. How many ppvs has Fury sold before fighting Wilder. Dont duck the question

The only other PPV hes had was the Klitschko fight i think which did ~550K

Purely off UK ppv numbers, Dillian Whyte has headlined more and sold more PPVs in the UK than Fury

If Wilder doesnt go for the rematch, and skips on AJ again, then its a better look if he cashes in on whipping Whyte in between, rather than bum ass Breazeal

I didn’t duck the question, rather ignored it cause idk what significance it has that Klitschko vs Fury did 540 k or what 3 damn years ago when Fury was largely assumed to be a joker, a pretender and to lose and lose big. Iirc even most Brits thought he would lose unlike before the Wilder bout. Fury was a bigger underdog there too than against Wilder despite his 2.5 years out the ring. That was his true coming out party if you will, him beating Wlad was a shock in the boxing world.

Not to mention how Fury’s cult and UK reputation grew while he was inactive and started to make his comeback.

If you think Wilder’s popularity rivals of AJ’s or even Fury’s anyhow in the UK you are tripping.
Idk why you get all defensive over simply thinking Fury is a bigger draw in the recently boxing crazy UK than Wilder in the US either.

And since when we argue pirated streams in deciding who’s the bigger draw? Point is who actually bought it, isn’t it?
