Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury To Make Over $100 Million For Usyk Fight, Says Arum

[Marchegiano]

Pretty green with envy, some of these posters here. I have no idea why, though. I have been around this sport for decades and I could never grasp the concept.
I've known many (most) of the top boxers dating way back, and they are without a doubt the most pleasant and down to earth people in the entire entertainment industry in my experience. Usually better people than the clutching fans, in fact.
Most fighters never make it big. For those that do, many lose it all then suffer the effects of a concussion trade by the time they're 50. Knowing the realities of contact sports, I ALWAYS celebrate someone's success.

Tyson will beat the UFC champion in a clean fight. $ 50,000,000 - 75,000,000

Tyson will fight and beat Usyk wide to reclaim the belts he already won and never lost.
$ 110,000,000 - 135,000,000

Tyson will fight Zhang in China and symbolicly win for Western civilization.
$ 130,000,000 - 165,000,000


Lookat.....

If Sting can make 230m for performing fairly crappy 80s songs in 2022, and Tyler Perry can drag in (see what I did there?) 175m last year, and Brad Pitt can get 100m for acting (you ever meet any actors? Jeeezoos), and Taylor Swift can make 92m for belting out light pop songs written by somebody else......what do YOU think the Champion of ALL The Planet in the only weaponless combat that has Ever been globally important deserves to make????????

Drop your envy. Fury risks his life against trained killers every time he goes to work. The very best ones in the world.

He can't kick them in the shins, he can't choke them out, he can't bend their elbow and he can't call a cop when things get rough. He fights upright like humans have evolved to be, and he fights them like a MAN.

He earns every blessed penny he gets.

If anyone else in the division can manage to earn a fight with him and defeat him, they'll earn it too.

This is the BIG LEAGUES kiddies.

This ***** comparing Fury's draw to Sting? Willow, love you dude, idgaf if you're not a fan, I ain't either, Fury's not in the same conversation as Sting. Sting's famous enough to say compared to him Fury's an unknown. And if you don't agree, you got tiny pee-pee.

Cong**** to Fury. That is amazing.

Ronaldo is making $200 million a year. Neymar is making close to $100 million a year.
Fury and AJ have fought in Saudi Arabia and made way more than they’d make in the UK. All tax free.

How exactly do you “absolutely do not see that being possible”?

Because I don’t think fury vs usyk sell enough ppvs to substantiate that.
this ain’t a mayweather vs pacquaio or McGregor lvl ppv numbers
That’s why


football is a massive consistent draw.. a bad and pointless comparison to use

[kingstip9]

Are you new to boxing?

Name one fighter besides mayweather or pacquaio who made 9 figures in one fight (I don’t even think McGregor got 9 figure)

[HandsofIron]

Just read a rumor that it could be 200 Million for Fury. Got dam.

Every criticism you make,
Every swipe you take,
Every Sting fan you forsake,
I'll be watching you.....

One of the greatest nations of the planet using which metrics?

Saudii Arabia has a lower GDP than Indonesia.
If you are look at the OECD's list of which countries have the highest percentage of university education, Saudi Arabia doesn't even make the list -- and the list includes countries like South Africa, Chile, Costa Rica and Brazil.
In a list of "quality of life" by US News which attempts to take into account things like political stability, income equality, public health and education, Saudi Arabia comes 30th.
If you look at US News' list for human rights, Saudi Arabia comes in at no.79. Worse than Algeria, Kazahkstan, Qatar and Myanmar...

It's a desert ruled by a despot who likes to torture and murder people for bizarre crimes, such as being a wizard.

————
Amongst Western nations, guess where the US ranks in every aspect of any kind of measurement? The bottom.
So, I’ll say Saudi is doing just fine.
As for a despot that likes to torture and murder people, the justice system in the US does the same exact thing mostly to poor people and people of Color.

—————
Football is massive in Spain, England and Italy where TV rights, endorsements and gate attendance revenue justify the massive salaries players make.
Saudi Arabia does not depend on PPV or endorsements or attendance or TV rights to generate money. The money paying Ronaldo and the others is coming from a fund created by the Kingdom’s Public Invested Fund aka OIL DOLLARS. So, if attendance was free and No Endorsement deals, players will get paid no matter what.
It is the same fund that’s paid AJ in the past and Fury. Besides, boxing is not even a huge event in Saudi Arabia so this is not about investing to recoup money. This is branding.

So this is not a pointless comparison at all.

Different era's of power brokers.

Have you not seen how the Saudi's are throwing money around like mad? That was a different era with different backers. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to see the writing on the wall here.

[Tecnoworld]

Most likely that will be the last fight for Fury, won or loose.
