Fight would sell and make lots of money and he would get a shot at the Lineal title
It seems to be the right way to go. Fury seems very interested in that 50 million and if he can look as a fighter again this would launch Wilder as a PPV star. People at Forbes already think Wilder can go PPV, Fury would be the best opponent with all his trash talk
As long as theres a chance Wilder could fight Fury first, the Wilder fans will say Fury is Lineal. The moment Fury vs Joshua looks like its happening the Wilder fans will say Fury isnt Lineal.
I'm more a fan of Fury than Wilder and Fury is lineal. He beat the man (WK) first and it doesn't just evaporate unless he loses or retires 4 good.
He should fight Fury when he has looked good in a few fights or fought a top ten opponent, which won't be until the end of this year any way..... he'd be as well taking the Joshua fight for April.
But on the subject I can certainly give you the list of bellews last three fights two of which have been on PPV and have sold huge amounts..
the purses too whereby both of the Haye fights gave him higher purses than wilders biggest ??
The fight revenue was high because of Haye, not Bellew.
Regardless, the point is, American fans have let down Wilder for a long time and that is partially his own fault. Love how everyone is coming out of the woodwork now and demanding a bigger purse for a fighter whose fights they never paid for.
