What figures do you guys have to actually corroborate that?
Sounds to me like Matchroom FC are just salty that Big Bank Frank blew Trust Fund Eddie out the water.
:haha:
I’ll make you a permanent ban bet says I’m U.S ? And I get to see if your the alt because I know you have multiple accounts you sound just like at least 5 people on the forum .
No thanks Robbie, we all know you’ve backed out of bets before your word means nothing on here.
:haha:
You’re crazy if you think it does over 40 million that doesn’t mean it doesn’t do well and I’m U.S clown. Another over emotional Fury guy who can’t think straight and makes stupid threads .
Where are your figures to support your argument Robbie?
Use your proper account too…
You keep coming back posting lengthy stories mostly non boxing related more then anyone saying you don’t care well maybe you don’t know what invested means ? :wave:
Don’t waste your time with this loser guys.
It’s Robbie’s alt as well I reckon.
Either post some FIGURES to support the theory of the fight being non-profitable or GTFO.
I like how most of the people on here probably work in subway but seem to know more about the boxing business and financials than the likes of Arum, Warren etc, who have been in the game for decades
Exactly mate. It’s absolute lunacy.
It will do really well in the UK.
The only real downside is that Whyte got knocked out two fights ago , which probably takes a bit of Shine off the fight and the casual market are the ones that really drive PPV and many of them may just expect fury to walk through him
that said, it’ll still be a huge fight here
Fury is a huge star now, Especially in the UK. His stardom as really skyrocketed since the wilder fights and he hasn’t fought in the UK since. He will fill a stadium and sell a lot of pay per views because it’s not at five in the morning like his fights with wilder.
Also, Fury did good numbers v Wlad, And nobody can say Wlad drove those pay per views because his previous few fights were free on Eurosport watched by absolutely nobody.
this fight will sell well, no doubt about it. They are both good characters that match up well to sell the fight too.
Hope you’re right.
Whether it will lose money or not I dont know, but either way $41m for a fight like Fury/Whyte is pretty fucking extreme. If we are being consistent Fury/Usyk would be worth at least twice that and Fury/AJ (if it had been made at the right moment) would have cost in the hundreds of millions.

I'm not one of those but what figures do you have to say the opposite? Plenty of ppl on here claim Whyte isn't popular and taking the Wilder Fights out just how big of a star has Fury been?
You can make threads and mock but I can imagine their arguments could be every bit as valid as yours.
You brought up Hearn so ask yourself that . You can take that branch and stick it up your arse ,I’ll be watching the fight just fine . :fingersx:
I'll make you feel better about my comments in this thread since you poor boys lack the comprehension: I never once insulted your lord but rather his followers (as in you) for being so invested in him that you let a fucking purse bid upset you so much that you're spinning all sorts of narratives to make yourselves feel better about it. That's all I said yet you continually quote me talking about "leave Eddie alone."
I promise that I didn't disrespect Hearn once in this thread. I disrespected you broke promoter fanboys for caring too much about promoters and who pays/earns what, will it make profit or not and other shit that literally doesn't matter.
Enjoy whatever shitty stream you manage to find. I hope it freezes when the camera's on Eddie so you can watch the real reason you're tuning in for a little longer.
Leaning more on it being a gamble than spending money to make money.
Since his comeback Fury fights have generally tanked outside of Wilder and Whyte has a fairly solid at best PPV history.
Depends how much people go for the UK grudge match angle, it’s probably just as possible the majority see it as a pointless mismatch.

Well your point don’t make sense because if Hearn won bids the fight doesn’t lose money on 32 million but you live in a bubble if you think the haters wouldn’t switch it around then .and still talk about it ,you made it into a Hearn thing when it’s not ,and can’t admit he did a smart thing fir his own fighter and network . :wave:
I think I'm too old to understand why promoters have fans now. I honestly don't get you promoter fanboys at all. Can't you choose another sport and support the refs, managers etc? Why boxing promoters? It's weird.
Here's the thing you're completely missing: I don't care if Hearn loses money or if Warren, Bob, Don King, Al Haymon all lose money, I don't care. As long as the fights we want to see get made, I'm happy. This is a fight I want to see and I'm happy that it seems to be going ahead but instead of discussing the fight itself, we have to argue with you salty Hearn fanboys because you're upset Hearn lost the purse bid and are doing all these mental gymnastics to make yourselves feel better about it. I. Don't. Care.
As an olive branch, if I find a good stream on the night I'll pm you. I know times are hard right now.
:haha:
But Hearn loses money winning the bid in the long run with a percentage he can’t make up for ? And it’s not about being broke it’s about being smart ,dumb posters would rather pay quadruple more for the fight if they had a choice of having Top Rank win the bid though .
Look, you're a broke boy that lives vicariously through Hearn (becasue he has money). As a result of that fact, you completely missed my point and started talking about "bu..but....I've got no money and need to watch it on dazn."
I couldn't careless who wins the purse bid as long the fight gets made. The fact that you can't afford to watch the fight now has absolutely nothing to do with my original point.
Because you mentioned Hearn as though it would be a bad thing calling him a savior and so called clowns wouldn’t be talking about it , if Hearn won the purse bids you practically watch the fight for free instead of forking over a huge amount of cash . Fury fans once again going backwards .
My point was all this talk about whether the fight will make profit or not is pointless and just you promoter fanboys trying to make yourselves feel better about Hearn losing the purse bid. No one said they wanted to watch it on dazn, they said that Hearn lost the purse bid on purpose because he knows the fight will lose money - nothing to do with what platform they'd prefer to watch it on.
Broke Hearn fanboys trying to make all of this make sense.
AJ Usyk is happening in June ins SAUDI
Fury Whyte in April UK
It's the first biggest sporting event of the summer. It WILL SELL OUT. It will get 800,000-1m PPV buys
That is break even at a minimum!
Yea ummm I’d rather watch it on my dirt cheap DAZN subscription then near a 100 dollar PPV in the U.S . :wave:
Yea ummm what does that have to do with people being so invested in whether the fight will lose money or not?
Who gives a shit on whether it's profitable or not, why is it being discussed like we'll make a cut if it is?! I just want to see good fights. Guaranteed, if Hearn won the purse bids, none of these clowns would talk about the fight losing money, it'll all be about how great their lord and saviour Eddie Hearn is.
