youre deluded mate.

This is WAY BIGGER than the AJ fight doe,
according to Wilder.
I expect Fury to be guaranteed way bigger than the $50 mil offered to AJ.
Man where will all this money coming from?
Espinoza will have a nervous breakdown looking for funds.
They will have to sell 4 mil PPVs for $50 each.

wilder fans just believe money grows on trees. i asked a few of them where the 50 mill for joshua comes from and how its recouped and there wasnt much of a response. plus surely wilder would want near enough 50 mill too as a purse if joshua was getting it.

i cant see there being many brits going out to vegas for it to be honest.

Damn. That's a shame.

Vegas is starved for big fights. The fans will turn out.

Showtime will promote the hell out of the PPV along with social media.

This is a winner.

Financial flop written all over it. Hope the Wilder fans **** on the fight like they did when Fury was rumoured for Joshua. Doubt it though.

Been a wilder follower since his Nashville pro debut. Yeah this fight wont be easy seeing as fury a good mover and all. Its gonna be extremely boring and no fooking way should it be on ppv. Cant see anyone getting tix unless they dirt cheap. Had it been in Alabama id have gone though haaha

people are saying wilders gonna be the A side for a joshua fight after it, and saying he earns around 15 mill which he was offered for the joshua fight. they are deluded, wheres the money gonna come from?

Well, that's just unrealistic. Joshua is the A-side period. What Fury/Wilder can do with a win and solid PPV numbers is make a case to get a 40% split. Fury may get even higher since that will be THE biggest domestic fight possibly in the history of the UK.

But if the PPV does 300k buys in the states, 500k buys in the UK and 4-5 million live gate? That's a financial success, not a flop.

[KTFOKING]

What Brits? It's not like Fury has a huge fanbase. Pretty solid indication of that was the crowd booing at the end of his fight tonight... that was 25thousand Irish fans that have paid to see Frampton and don't give a crap about Tyson Fury.

He'll no doubt get some fans over there, but I wouldn't expect anywhere near the levels you saw when Hatton fought.

Beyond that it's PPV in both the US and the UK. Figure it'll do reasonable numbers in the US due to all the promotion it'll get but over in the UK on BT Sport PPV i'm expecting terrible numbers for a 4am fight on a channel that simply does not reach anywhere near as many people as Sky.

It is FAR more important it does good numbers in the states than the UK. Majority of the profit will come from the US PPVs and live gate. But I disagree, it will do good numbers in the UK. I think a fair expectation is 400-500k buys.

Fury did well putting butts in seats in his last fight though no? But it will be interesting to see how many Brits make their way for the fight. Wilder has shown he can sell as he did great numbers vs Ortiz and had 14k at the Barclays. Different type of pricing in Vegas though.

[KTFOKING]

Fury just got booed on a Frampton undercard and Wilder isn't really a draw in America. This isn't a Vegas calibre fight and having it their cuts into the UK PPV.

Wilder isn't a draw in America? According to who is he not a draw in America? Fast car Eddie?

Again, why are you guys so worried about the UK PPV? US PPV is damn near triple the price of UK PPV. It is FAR more important it does good numbers in the states than the UK. But it is fair to wonder if the fight could do good number in the states. I keep saying they should be targeting 350-400k buys, but that won't be an easy task. This is why these two have to promote the crap out of the fight for the next three months. Have to some how some way create a spark for the casuals.

Bad idea do it in the UK
