Comments Thread For: Haye Details Wilder's Deadly Power, Praises Fury For Stepping Up

[OldTerry]

I think most people would agree that Wilder wins this. Only Fury fans and casuals who know who Fury is but not Wilder believe otherwise.

What do people think this does in PPV buys? I can't work out whether it will sell here in the UK.

Do you think they'll stack the undercard?!

I believe they will stack the undercard. The Wilder, Fury fight will be interesting to watch but dull up until the point Wilder tags Fury and begins his destruction. If this comes early then it is a short fight. So it (imo) is either a short fight or a dull fight overall).

Doesn't Whyte have teets? And why won't Wilder fight anybody but those American blokes?

It's because the number one UK bloke won't fight him. Heck even Joseph Parker's trainer said they didn't want to fight Wilder. Wilder has to chose from those that are brave enough to make themselves available.

What do ya know, Haye is the one with a voice of reason. Too bad he's lost all his fans as all british fighters do instantly as soon as they lose.

I can’t see many people paying BT £20 to stay up til 5am to watch a couple of giants cuddling

That's roughly $25.50 US. I imagine USA PPV will be $69.95 which is about 2 3/4 times what you estimate the UK PPV cost. All in all if there are a total of 1.5 million to 2.5 million PPVs sold it is a lot of money especially when you factor in the live gate. The ******** establishment in Las Vegas would contribute a lot as well as they stand to benefit financially as well. Should be a very profitable fight. It will be interesting to see the purse amounts.

Wilder puts Parker to sleep. And yeah, even though he's fought multiple non-American fighters, folks gonna talk ***** just to talk it. Even if they spew pure ignorance.

I think this duds badly in the U.S especially at the ridiculous prices they charge and does quite well here in the U.K.

That’s the reality of it imo, I know some people on here can’t accept that but that’s the reality of it, the majority of PPV buys are from casual fans, hardcore boxing fans like ourselves constitute to a small percentage of the overall buys.

So based off that and the fact they are both unknowns in the U.S casual market I think it would be a dud...hopefully I’m totally wrong and they both make a fortune.

I don’t doubt this fight can sell but I think the U.K. ppv market will be very small for a Vegas fight that isn’t Joshua. I’m wondering if Warren will be showcasing any of his other fighters.

Haye must have lost all his fans in 2004 when he got stopped by Carl Thompson then...

Funny that he topped the bill another 14 times after that fight isn’t it? 🤔

Sure he built up a fan base.....after that KO, but that wasn't the very end of his career now was it?

And who's on the Haye bandwagon now? Now after he got starched by LHW Bellew? You?

Big Haye fan are you?

That wasn’t what you said though was it. What you said was “Too bad he's lost all his fans as all british fighters do instantly as soon as they lose.”

British fighters don’t lose their fans if they lose. Casing points, Froch post Kessler and Ward, Hatton post Mayweather, Bruno being one of the most beloved ex sportsmen in Britain, alongside Benn, Eubank Snr, Henry Cooper etc... if anything brits tend to warm to fighters after a loss.
