Wilder has set himself up for a trap

[IMDAZED]

Oh my bad. What I meant to say was, the Fury vs Wilder fight (if it happens) won't sell out a high school gym even after all the yelling and screaming they both do before the fight. Meanwhile the Joshua vs Povetkin fight, even though it didn't sell out 90k within an hour, it will still sell out before the fight happens. Is that better? Dumbass

You clearly are a casual. Or someone dumb enough to believe the nonsense Eddie Hearn tells you.

Secondly, the reason AJ hasn't sold out vs Povetkin yet, is because Wembley has disallowed Eddie Hearn to continue his ticket scalping scheme.

Oh for real? Haven't heard anything about that.

[Tyistall]

Wilder-Fury will sell out WHEREVER it's held. You've either got to be the biggest AJ fanboy, or an imbecile, to think otherwise.

Hey dumbass, Fury is not even topping the bill in his next comeback fight(farce) so how the hell is he going to sell out with Wilder, who can't even sell out a high school gym? Hahahahha I swear, y'all are stuck on ******. And even if the AJ vs Povetkin fight doesn't sell out, it'll still have 8 times more people there than ANY of Wilder's fights hahah. Mostly because he fights bums

The only way this fight ends up bad for Wilder is if he loses, let's be real.

Personally I'd rather see Fury get back to his best before fighting Wilder or Joshua as I think he's a really good addition to the heavyweight scene.

He's a ****ing grown man though, a giant at that, and if he makes the decision to fight Wilder I don't want hear any excuses after that he wasn't ready, well the AJ fanboys will say it, just hope Fury doesn't.

I'm not surprised this fight has apparently been easy to make if I was Wilder I'd snap his hand off, it's a no brainer.

Also will be an interesting and exciting fight to look forward to.

First you say Fury aint ready so this looks bad, then you say what if Fury wins?

Fury is the Lineal Champion. This is the best heavyweight fight to be made, second only to Joshua.

what's the disconnect in the two statements? they aren't mutually exclusive thoughts.

when fury is truly back in shape, then he really does become possibly the best fight to be made. his boxing skill and pr game is top notch.

you are probably right with those numbers. but that doesn't mean wilder makes more than 10 mil. even with tv contracts, wilder has still been making under 3 mil per fight over 40 fights and however many fights as WBC belt holder.
finkel is screwing him over, and that's not going to stop because he's fighting fury.

[Joe Beamish]

Only way this turns out bad is if Wilder loses.

Yes.

Look at a really great (and far from unlikely) scenario:

Wilder stops Fury with a GIF-city, resounding, smashing KO.

Now Joshua HAS to fight him. And the money is bigger than before.

Remember, Fury is the second biggest fight Wilder could make right now. If he wins in big fashion, the Joshua fight is bigger than ever.

Major upside to the Fury fight.

[SinderellaMan]

But AJ fought a 41 year old coming off a 2 year layoff?
How is that any different?

I’m sure he’s managed his money well and has a good savings built.
The real screw job was the purses paid at Super Fly 2.
The top purse was $200,000.
That’s just criminal

in my opinion, i think there's no way this whole fury situation turns out good for wilder. there's 4 ways it could play out:

1. they postpone or cancel the fight to next year because maybe fury doesn't look as great against pianeta. in this case, the wbc HAS to call the breazeale mandatory because they have said it will be called in december. if they don't then they will lose some credibility. if they do call it, wilder has to fight breazeale, and his team ends up looking like liars.

2. they fight this year, and wilder beats fury. There's just no way they are making more than a joshua fight would make this year. if wilder beats fury, then him and his fanboys will forever have to defend why they fought a guy who had not fought competitively in 3 years, with sever mental health issues, who dropped 130 pounds in a year. it hurts his legacy and his pockets, in my opinion. breazeale is a better fight for him at this point.

3. fury beats wilder whenever they fight. i shouldn't have to state how bad this would be for wilder.

in my opinion, this fight probably won't happen this year. frank warren and finkel will probably try to set it for around april next year to counter joshua's wembley move.

i dont know man fury wilder in america is absolutely ppv worthy that fight will get alot bigger then u think. had joshua came to america yes but in the uk no way fury wilder absolutely makes more then a wilder joshua in the uk fight
