Why can't American fighters sell the same amount of tickets as UK fighters?

Boxing in the states in way down on list of important sports. Baseball, American football, and basketball are by far the biggest. Americans like highlights. That’s why football (soccer to us Americans) isn’t as big. It’s looked at as boring. Although it is getting much bigger here and there is becoming a huge niche. UFC is also pretty popular. People talk about it a lot. I have a brother and a cousin who used to watch boxing but have basically quit and only watch UFC now.

The US is huge too and boxing is only popular in specific areas. Like Wilder is from Alabama and that is not a boxing state. Crawford is from Nebraska which is not a boxing state. I never run into boxing fans and I live in a city. It’s just not that popular here. Americans have too many other sports they focus on.

We can fill huge stadiums for professional and college sports. Stadiums of 100,000 but not for boxing. Just doesn’t have the demand.
