Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder-Fury Does 1 Million+ Buys, I'll Give Wilder 50-50

[jackblack008]

Hearn can do better..
If Wilder PPV does 1 million+ buys. Hearn and Wilder would need to come crawling and beg for a 40:60 split.

[Straightener]

It would be nice if WILDER and FURY fight is so good that it turns into a 3 fight trilogy. Let the lying HEARN wait a few years now to get WILDER.

Have you ever seen a fury fight and thought “damn I wouldn’t mind seeing that again” ?

[Bronx2245]

Hearn, once again, shows his stripes! First, "F**K OFF," next he says "IF THEY SELL..."

Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury! Let's Go! This is a game changer! Can't wait to see the supporting fights! Don't short-change us!

if Wilder did 1m buys in America at that price point, it would be more impressive numbers than anything Joshua had done and more revenue, so he could be the A-side.

Agreed.

I think the conversion rate is around 1 UK PPV buy = 2.3 or 3 US buys (seems like I'm seeing UK PPV's around $26USD & US PPV's are in the $60-$80/USD range).

So if Wilder vs Fury does 660,000 buys they are doing equal Joshua's biggest PPV (Klitsckho 1.5M buys) in revenue. And the reality is revenue is what matters not buys.

Therefore IF Wilder was to do 1M buys he probably does deserve 60/40 & the fight should be in the US for f#cking sure so this would be a lowball offer of 50/50.

You're right, he could sit on his earnings for a while fighting more opponents of the ilk of Stiverne and Arreola until retiring relatively young for a HW. I hope not as outside of AJ, Breazeale and Whyte have been paying their dues to WBC to get a shot at him as well.

Wilder-Breazeale, Joshua-Whyte II is next for both men. Fall 2019 at the earliest for Wilder-Joshua, but with rival networks and money squabbles at play, I expect it to get pushed to 2020 at best.

Isn't delaying the fighting exactly what you guys a blaming and complaining at Hearn for?

So effectively you're saying "Give Hearn what exactly he wants, delay the fight a few years, that'll really show him!"

I'm not saying Hearn is responsible before you get excited just pointing out your own ******ity.

Why does Wilder deserve much more than Parker?

Parker was an undefeated world champ at the time and AJ only had 2 belts.

Same situation now v Wilder apart from AJ now has THREE belts verses Wilders one.

Wilder doesnt sell tickets and isn't a big name either.

Where are y’all coming up with this wilder doesn’t sell tickets? 15k fans in Barclays center is not selling tickets? Lol y’all need new argument

You'r probably right on the Unification being delayed further, unfortunately. On top of what you already mentioned are the rumours of a 2 fight Wilder-Fury deal regardless of result. Have Wilder/Finkel said anything concrete to end that rumour yet?
Plus Hearn/DAZN will want AJ-Miller late-Summer 19 in the Barclays Center NY. Both fighters are already on their books so all the revenue goes their way.

[SchoolTheseCats]

Exactly, well said. He should make such numbers considering about 400mil people.

If out of 400mil people, 1mill don't know you enough to buy your ppv as their biggest HW sports man, there must be a problem somewhere.

If AJ had close to 400mil people in UK, he will come close to 3/4mil per fight.

it’s not 400 mil people in America, did Hearn tell y’all that lie?.... second y’all ppv is 20-25 bucks in America the low end of a ppv might be 60 bucks and of course can go higher

[HURTFEELINGS]

Damn Eddie....Wilder went from 30% to possibly 60% without a promoter
AJ went from 60% to hoping for 50-50, losing at least 80mil, with a promoter
