Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager: If Vegas Wants Wilder-Joshua, It'll Be There

[Jewish-Reptile]

I've been debating this with Ehrmahauut.

AJ/Wlad-huge event-90k in Wembley -$53 million live gate

Floyd/manny-huge evnt-17k in vegas-live gate $74 million

You get a bigger crowd in England but more $$$$ in Las Vegas.

Their is absolutely no chance tickets are priced the same for this than Manny and PBF.

This fight easily does more money in London, Cardiff or Manchester, the stadiums are huge.

There is great material being presented in this thread, I think its clear by the last post the UK fanboys will have taken another big L.

You beat the Black version of ButterBean and you are demanding the shots don't work that way Deontay

Absolutely. Who does he think he is?

Save the belt, he brings almost NOTHING to the table. He's scarcely known in the US, and can't even sell out a fight in his hometown

Itll be in uk

Makes most money there

and wilder said he would go there...dibella said wilder would do it in uk

Does it though?

Alvarez-ChavezJr did almost $18m at their gate in Las Vegas.

A heavyweight title fight, between two English speakers, both with dynamic personalities, and some rivalry (likely completely manufactured beef at this point, if we're honest), in a 20k-seat building in Las Vegas, is going to draw monster business.

This ^^^^^^^.

The live gate for AJ/Vlad was $9 million. Had an average ticket price of $100.

The fighters split around $40 million. Idk where you got the $53 million number from lol

I must have read it wrong on my phone the other day.

I just checked. I was way off. My apologies.

Respectfully, large stadium fights don't have larger gates than Vegas. Check manny or Canelo fights in Texas, or the AJ fight in Wembley.

There's some good sparring footage of haye wilder on YouTube

Trouble is it might be a hard sell after bellew three pieced him out the ring

Would be high risk low reward for wilder .

If he's not willing to fight whyte for 4 million he ain't fighting haye anytime soon

If Haye beats Bellew with ease in the rematch, it could sell.

Haye is probably still the second biggest draw in UK boxing after Joshua, even now. He is one of the few true household names in British boxing and he still fills arenas.

As i say, he beats Bellew and people will accept even more the first fight was lost to a freak injury and Haye will be in a healthy position to make moves in the HW division i think.

Also, AJ v Haye is a massive fight in the UK, second only to AJ v Fury. Haye v AJ generates a lot more money from the UK public than AJ v Wilder. I could see them trying to make it.

No way this fight makes more in America. Neither is a draw in America. Is Vegas going to put up 10+ mil to get the fight, then there'll be all the lost revenue from UK PPV to take in to account. Keep dreaming.

Count the money though. Alvarez-ChavezJr did almost $18m at the live gate; for the biggest heavyweight fight since Lewis-Tyson (with the casual sports press taking things into overdrive, the hype will be unreal). Beyond that, it's not like the UK will tune out of the fight either; slippage will happen, but it should still easily do 1m homes in the UK.

To that you can add that the North American TV (SHOPPV, Canadian PPV and Mexican TV would be goosed up even further)

It would be better for their next fight to be on the same night, at the same venue, somewhere in the States. That'd set it up nicely.

It won't happen, of course...
