Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: I Think Fury & Ngannou Do Bigger Business Than Mayweather & McGregor

[Mr Giggles]

Tbh it would depend, if it’s just a boxing match then I don’t see it selling that much as everyone knows fury would wipe the floor with him. But if it’s a mixed fight, ufc gloves ufc cage but standup only then I see it selling really well, both boxing and ufc fans will buy it

[sicko]

Hell No Bob! Interesting though and it would do big numbers for sure but not anything close to Mayweather vs McGregor

[P to the J]

So now Deontay is a bum to you? I was a Wilder fan long before Fury and still a Wilder fan. I wont flip flop because he lost to the better man SMH people on here kill me using the word bum

Lol. This guy has everyone twisting up

[P to the J]

Make Nash laugh when UFC fans say Ngannou punches harder than Wilder, based on some daft measurement of some kind. Nash once watched Ngannou land flush, 5 bombs in a row in those tiny UFC gloves and barely effected the guy at all. Wilder would splatter anyone in one shot in those gloves. Nash out.

You should have seen what Eddie Hills did to Ngannou in sparring, once… not even wearing MMA globes. He had one of those novelty, oversized foam fingers. Poor Ngannou’s deaf in one ear now.

Fury calling Ngannou name because he knows Oleksandr Usyk will whoop his ass just like Joshua!!

Maybe bored nationalist crowds might go bonkers for that crap, and maybe Arum is high on some high grade matzo balls in order to really believe that that dunce-ness could be better than the Mayweathers/McGregor joint.

Furys better off using his proficient MMA skill set against the guy…..and should be fighting the guy under his combat rules……I mean, Fury employs his MMA fighting skills all the time in boxing…..so it’s a no brainer

hell no.............

Hey.... More power to them. I hope they make tons of cash. I just will not be among them. There is a ton Fury could do I would be personally interested in.

This is not it for me.

Of course, I was not interested in Mayweather and McGregor either, so I am not the target audience anyways.

[chicken-]

Nonsense, go back to the press conferences in arenas, it was complete pro mcgregor. You don’t do that many PPV buys without it being majority casuals and most of them were pro McGregor too

Mayweather has 4 out of 5 of the top PPV events of all time, including the one with Conor. Conor pulled his weight which is more than just about anyone else, except Floyd Mayweather. "Pro" Conor crowd doesn't mean anything, people have tuned in hoping Mayweather would lose for a long time, I can't remember a "pro Floyd" crowd since his early days.

He does but he’s smart with picking his opponents to get those record buys too, it’s not like Floyd was doing millions v Berto was it? It was the fact it was the biggest name in boxing v McGregor, who was the most popular thing in combat sports at the time, a genuine crossover star for a moment in time. They needed each other to make millions of buys.
