The ticket prices for AJ vs Wlad at Wembley ranged from £40 ($55) for the nose-bleeds to £2000 ($2766) ringside.AJ vs Takam had 334,000 views in the USA, and it was on free TV.
AJ might bring the money in the UK, and he may be capable of filling Wembley with tickets at 10 pounds a piece, but Wilder had the US market (887,000 viewers while going head to head with College Football and a UFC event)
so let's talk real numbers here, if AJ vs Wilder happens on PPV, where is the big money coming from?
The total gate money was £8million, that's more than $11million
The fight sold 1.5million Sky PPVs at £19.95.
So the UK PPV income would have been around £30million, that's just under $41.5million.
I think AJ vs Wilder, for all 4 HW belts, would do at least as well as AJ vs Klitschko in the UK, and very likely even better.
But would it make more than $11million at the gate and more than $41.5million in PPVs if it happened in the States?
Personally, I don't think it would do anything near those numbers.Last edited by kafkod; 02-09-2018, 06:55 PM.Comment

Wilder's Team still didn't offer a dollar amountThis is smart on the part of Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder, Eddie Hearns knows Anthony Joshua is getting KO in the first encounter : as such Mismatchroom/SKY will no longer earn what they are currently making with their golden-goose.
In this generous proposition by 'Bombsquad' Mismatchroom will make Wilder a great offer in order to get what they desire in the rematch despite the fact that by then A.J would not be worth even 20% of the purse, Deontay is willing to make that sacrifice just to get that fraud in the ring, respect.
Eddie Hearn ALWAYS has to put up the cash for these HWComment

Dude...Come on, you think that was for AJ or for Wlad? 55,000 packed the house to watch Fury vs Wlad. I sincerely doubt that Joshua vs Takam did anywhere near the numbers that Joshua vs Wlad did.The ticket prices for AJ vs Wlad at Wembley ranged from £40 ($55) for the nose-bleeds to £2000 ($2766) ringside.
The total gate money was £8million, that's more $11million

AJ vs Wlad was in the UK, so clearly the overwhelming majority of the audience were there because of AJ.
Fury vs Wlad was in Germany, not the UK.
AJ vs Takam was regarded as an easy, routine defence for AJ, but it still sold out the 78,000 seat Principality Stadium in Wales and did nearly 900k Sky PPVs.
AJ against a prime 6'7" undefeated, trash talking American world champion with 97% K0s, for all 4 world title belts, would have the British fans going crazy to see it!
I'm sure it would do even better than AJ vs Wlad, who was last seen getting clowned by Tyson Fury in his own back yard.Comment
