Wilder vs fury is struggling to sell tickets, less than 20

[Ogecca MaMa]

Always smile, when I hear here someone says Wilder/Fury biggest 2018 fight. bha

Should do at least 30 million on the low end in revenue. 300k PPV buys at $75 is 22.5 million. Add in gate revenue and sponsors.

Half of that goes to the network. These 2 are going to make 10 million each on a good day, but I doubt even that much. Even a Joshua-Wilder fight struggles to do the necessary numbers in the US, none of these guys are huge names over there, not ppv level anyway. This isn't a reflection on Fury or Joshua though who have been predominantly UK based fighters, it's Wilder's team who have not been able to turn him into a household name or crossover star.

This is the top and bottom of it. For what it's worth I hope the fight does well, but I just can't see it.

There are bigger US stars than Wilder who have still not been risked on ppv.

You;d have to assume some promoter affiliated with the fight
would buy the remaining tickets make it look like it's a box office hit.
Joshua negotiation comes and they'll say, "50/50 or no fight!!"
Same old story perpetrated by scam artists.

Why would you make a thread about a Big Heavyweight Boxing match not selling good ?

Are you a Boxing fan or a Wilder Hater ?

No need to reply . I know the answer.

You are correct that 300K PPV buys at $75 is $22.5 million. Only problem with that: Cable companies and Satellite providers take HALF of all PPV money taken in. So your $22.5 million in PPV profit just became $11 million.

Deontay Wilder has an inflated sense of self worth.

By putting this fight in the US Wilder has probably cost himself a lot of money in a future Joshua fight. After this thing flops he won't be able to demand as much.

They should have done this Fury fight in the UK. It would have sold out and he would have established himself over there. The fans would demand Joshua fight him if he beat Fury.

I mean, Wilders highest profile fight was against Ortiz and you could have gotten a great seat for $150. Now they are trying to pull in Superfight ticket prices.

These guys are wackos.
