Comments Thread For: Wilder: Fury Fight Nearly Done; 'Way Bigger' Than Joshua Fight

[SeGoodland]

naw, both camps will take less of a guarantee, and cash in on the upside, Wilder and Fury are going to sell the sh/t out of this fight, the really money will be the PPV because EVERYONE will buy it, it will do 2 million buys at least.

Neither fight is getting 50 mill off the top, but both will end up making more money then they ever have many times over, and who knows, a rematch in the UK would make more money.

AJ just got frozen out of the gravy train, the money that he demanded will now be split among wilder and Fury.

This is the Queens justice as they say in Game of Thrones

I agree with with everything apart from AJ being frozen out...the winner of this WILL fight AJ because all three want the same thing, to be unified undisputed champion, they have to get in the ring with AJ (unless AJ loses to Povetkin, which I can't see happening). That will be a huuuuuge money spinner because whoever wins out of Wilder/Fury will have some serious weight to bring to the table (Belt/Lineal Title). If its Wilder, it will sell like crazy on both sides of the pond.

On another note, there will be some really tasty matchups on all of the undercards! What would people want to see?

You don’t know that he would beat Parker or Takam at all. That joke of a Seferi fight has shown us nothing with regards to how Fury is since his binge.

PS: Can guarantee that Wlad at 41 is a much healthier and fitter person than Tyson Fury at 29. When you abuse your body like Fury has then it shows.

3 training camps, 8 weeks a piece, yeah, he should be good! When you're 6'9", you're not expected to be "Floating like a butterfly!" Takam and Parker are trash! Breazeale is probably better than both of them!

I was also thinking about this. Adding a couple hot young Mexican fighters could help it sell better in the US. Mungia isn’t exclusive afaik seems to be going the HBO route, Valdez is ESPN. Not sure of other Mexicans who would increase buys...
I would love to see LSC vs Gary Russell Jr as Co-feature. If one of the Charlos or Gervonta Davis has a mandatory that would be a nice addition. Maybe Gervonta vs Mares would increase buys

Ironic really as they are quite literally travellers! Can’t imagine too many have passports, but you never know.

Hope this one comes off. I won’t believe Fury is in anything like in the right sort of shape to beat a top level guy, but if by some miracle he is, then Wilder will be in trouble. The Tyson of old is the best boxer at heavyweight by some distance. If the angles, feints, footwork are all there I’m not sure I can see Wilder dealing with it (against a bigger man too). But Wilder does have that equaliser!

Most likely outcome I see is a KO for Wilder, that’ll be widely discredited when Fury says he was out of shape and immediately retires after the fight 😄

They move around a lot but they don't have anything that ties them down "legally". So having a passport would probably of them thing that they wouldn't like.

I also do hope the fight comes off, but its too early for Fury IMHO, Wilder or anyone would be fighting Fury at his weakest.

I can't believe Tyson Fury is taking this fight do quick after only his third fight back! I think that's an amazing job to be able to get back in decent shape to put yourself back in a position to get a title shot.

112kg/247lbs against Klitschko but with 9 months between fights (real fight I mean)...

If he makes that weight, surely his fitness will be at a decent level considering he's been fighting the weight instead of real top level HW's? He needs to put on a real classy performance against Pianeta just to show that he can move like he did.

The recent videos of him in camp look slick, I can't deny that.

I don't really understand what you are trying to say...

(I don't know what a "real classy performance against Pianeta" means, but... whatever...)

The winner has no where else to go, either rematch or Joshua.

[AdonisCreed]

Also I hope Wilder come in on his A game because he could lose his title. I thought Klitschko would wreck Fury in five or six rounds yet he came out on top pretty easy. So Wilder better get those Windmills warmed up lol haha

All good shouts. I think to increase the popularity in the UK, there needs to be another big name (in the UK) to supplement it. I would love to see Daniel Dubois take on someone significant to increase his profile. Obvious ones would also be BJ Saunders or Carl Frampton...it would just give some more credibility for UK viewers to wait up until 5am
