There's 0% chance he gets 50/50, at least not soon. The only thing he has going for him is that there are no big HW opponents. Only household name left is Fury. If Joshua fights Fury and wins, sometime in 2018-2019, they may be likely to give Wilder 50/50. Until then.. nope.
I think it's more likely Wilder steps in a banana skin against an average opponent and loses.
Fury is clearly a draw. He's drawn 3million+ on channel 5 consistently, and by all accounts his show the other day was a huge success - you know except for the actual fight.
his PPV vs Klitschko did between 600-700k buys, but also keep in mind that Fury vs Klitshko 2 was when Fury was at his lowest possible popularity.
Of course he's not a big draw when you compare it to Joshua - but make no mistake, Fury vs Wilder would be a big PPV fight on BT Sport. No doubt about that.
Klitchko carried that fight .
Fury vs Wilder wont be that big outside the U.K .
No one really follows Fury in other countries and Wilder as the same story has not been on PPV anywhere .
It will be miniscule compared to a huge public figure like Klitchkos or Joshua can draw .
The Klitchko fight itself hurt Fury in his own country bc it was terrible in the eyes of the fans, without a significant win hes not going to draw much fighting Wilder in terms of comparing an AJ fight .

I'm a big Fury fan, but there's no way he gets 500k buys on BT PPV vs Wilder for a 5am Vegas fight.

I think it would do good numbers on showtime. Better than the Ortiz fight. Probably 2million views or so.
and 500-600k ppvs on BT.
That's pretty good I'd say. but of course nowhere near the realm of a joshua fight.
The question is what is he pulling besides ppls chains daily ?
He has no pulling power without Joshua attached to him .
Well exactly. But maybe if he fights some of Brezeale, Miller, Whyte or Fury over the next 12 months he can hit an upturn in earnings and pulling power assuming he wins good.

Whyte is not lined up with him its 2 years away and Joshua will fight him first in a rematch by then.
Miller isnt ranked in the WBC .
Fury ? If Wilder plays games here , Hearn can just throw an enormous amount of cash at Fury and freeze Wilder out bc its still a mega fight for Joshua not Wilder .
Breazeale is not going to make Wilder look good if he comes prepared , it might actually end bad for Wilder if Breazeale lands flush bc hes a finisher and he will hit Wilder harde then hes ever been hit .
Beyond Breazeale how much stock does Wilder go up with a win ?
Not much and if we play the Wilder fan girl card , why should he get any credit for opponents that Joshua defeated ? Ha
