UK Fans: How Many PPV Buys Does Wilder vs Fury in Vegas Do?

[rolshans]

So whats the plan here with Showtime? They gunna gamble a fortune, stick Wilder/Fury and Spence/Garcia on the same PPV, and hope they get a couple of PPV guys out of it going forward?

Right. Putting them all on there is the only way this is a PPV. Could probably do 400K+ as well!

They won't stick those two fights on the same PPV.

Well, putting them on PPV kind of covers them. The purses can be sales related.

SHO gets to keep their remaining budget for the rest of the year while putting these two cards on PPV.

Theyre both being talked about as PPVs Nov/Dec, doubt theyd do 2 so close to each other. They were willing to spend $50mil purse on the Joshua gamble to make Wilder a PPV star, always doubted theyd have recouped all the money. Surely they could just shift over all the cash to the 2 fights, and hope Wilder and Spence win, gain 2 controllable PPV guys going forward

Well, one early November and another mid-December isn't bad.

The $50 million offer was banking on the PPV being held in Vegas. Obviously the hope is Wilder would win and become a star.

Fury-Klitschko did 545K for reference.

Same situation here, my understanding is for Wilder/Fury to be held in Vegas. The hope for Wilder to become a star. Fury gunna want a huge guarantee aswell, well youd hope, could be commiting career suicide.

Depending on how it does in the UK, he could walk away with 10+ million. Not bad at all.

In the U.S. If it's promoted properly it could easily do anywhere in the range from 700,000-1.2mil PPV buys. However, one is going to have to grind hard in order for this fight to sale.

One of the bonuses of this main event is that both fighters are loud and love to talk. They can make several public appearances and TV, internet and radio interviews together in order to create enough buzz awareness and interests in this fight.

You got keep the public informed and excited. Travel to every corner of the globe and make it a huge spectacle; From the U.S. all the way to Singapore.

500k in the UK is huge though. That's a little over $13 million revenue generated from the PPVs. Well, $6.5 million after the cable distributors get their share.

If it does 300k in the states and 500k in the UK, both fighters will be walking away with $10+ million. And if Wilder gets a 60/40 split his way, he could get around $15 million. Imagine if he beats Fury and then gets the Joshua showdown? Dude will be walking away with 35-40 million after those two fights. And pretty much the same for Fury if he wins.

And just saw an interview with Hearn saying he's heard Fury will be getting 10 million and Wilder probably 15 million. Basically what I said in this post. But it's still going to have to take around 300k PPV sales in the states and decent amount in the UK.

not a good reference though

fury - klit was primetime

wilder fury will be 5 in the morning

Right, that is an apples to oranges comparison. I do wonder though with Wilder's name being linked to Joshua and the UK public knowing the winner of this fight will be THE fight for Joshua in 2019, if that will drive up the buys. If what Hearn is saying right that Wilder will potentially get 15 million, and Fury will get 10+, then this needs to sell well in the UK to have any chance of achieving that goal. Unless they are ready to lose a lot of money on this PPV.
