To pay him $50m you would need 666k PPV buys at $75 in the US (this is before networks take their cut!).
Twice as many buys required as Wilder vs Fury.
Agree or disagree?
And by the way I'm not AJ fanboys. Fury is #1, AJ #2 and Deyonce #3 so keep that **** out the thread.
Mate, I'm literally giving you figures and facts. Do the maths.
To pay AJ his $50m before ANYBODY else gets paid, the fight needs to do 666k buys.
He is the draw.
Or they could have sponsors to cover that...listen we are boxing fans, not boxing businessmen. The side money in boxing can often times be greater than what the purses and gates disclose. The entertainment business is not as clear cut as most people think it is. You have people making more money for wearing an outfit from a specific designer than they do from the show itself. As a fan you wouldn't know that but every single facet these days where there are cameras, video, live tv, demographic reach there is a brand/sponsor looking to drop money on it and for the right platform they'll get into a firefight over it.
I already brought up Charles Martin in my other post, but by your logic since Charles Martin got more money than Joshua to fight Joshua in the UK that Charles Martin was the UK draw. We both know thats f#cking retarded & not true. Charles Martin got overpaid to bring his ass on Joshua's turf & ideally lose that title to Joshua in the UK. Thats all this Wilder vs Joshua thing was too an attempt to bring Joshua to the US to lose his belts to Wilder.
You got any evidence for Martin earning more than Joshua in their fight?
And regardless I bet the disparity in earnings is miniscule compared to Haymons projections for AJ/Wilder in the US.
The 50m ship sailed already, Fury, in a rematch, will probably make twice as much as he made in the first fight and more than what Wilder would offer AJ to fight in the states. Hearn was in the driving seat before this match, not anymore, and he knows it, that's why hes been running his mouth and trying to get a fight with either of them.
So you are saying Fury will make $20m in the rematch, and Haymon won't offer the IBF, WBO, WBA, IBO champion $21m to fight Wilder in a unification instead.
Ok, gotcha.
If what you say is true then Fury must ask for $50m for the rematch, yes?

I'm 17 feet tall, see how that works? Anyone can say some outlandish shhhh without proof or facts.

Right now Fury is the draw, the rematch will be bigger than any other AJ fight and if there's a 3rd fight, it'll be even bigger; then the winner will dictate terms to AJ, if it's Wilder, fight will have to be in the states on Wilder's term, if it's Fury, then they'll fight in the UK on Fury's term.

Another stupid f**king limey.
AJ is the draw in the US.
Yes or no. If no, state your reasons.
To pay AJ his $50m alone the PPV must do at least double what Fury and Wilder did.
So let's say Wilder brought 150k buys and Fury bought 150k buys.
AJ needs to do 666k buys just to pay himself the $50m.
He must be the draw if the offer is real.

Couldn’t agree more with AJ being the draw in the States if the Wilder fight ever happens , I mean just look at his #s there
His fight with Povetkin was reportedly watched by over 15k people on DAZN and his Showtime viewership ( excluding the Klit fight ) avg around what Wilder / Fury did on a PPV ( horrible #s by the way according to Hearn )
AJ is the draw in the States obviously and the #s back up this claim
Where'd you get the 15k number?? I've been looking for it everywhere!

I would agree prior to the Wilder/Fury fight . However, that fight generated huge post fight buzz and did a solid 325-350k PPV sales. If the rematch does between 750 and 900k then it's hard to claim AJ is the draw in the US.
Wilder has been slowly expanding his profile. He is definitely more known than before the fight. I still think AJ would rather fight with the home crowd behind him rather than come to Las Vegas and make more money.
He was in the states but didnt show to the wilder fury fight, that sure would have helped his case. But he will be at whyte chisora 2. His numbers in the us were some of the lowest on showtime. I dont think hes a big draw in the u.s. But either way i cant wait until he fights wilder or fury.
