Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder's PPV Does Bad, He Has Zero Bargaining Position!

[filup79]

If Fury/Wilder does 1 million buys that's 70 million in PPV revenue. AJ's biggest PPV fight against Wlad did 40 million in UK PPV revenue which was around 1.5 million buys.I guess Hearn fails to mention that and just brag about PPV buys but not the revenue it made. AJ/Wlad did 64 million, that's counting everything, PPV, gate and broadcast rights.

Eddie gotta keep the hype train going while Joshua can still pack Wembley.

More fights wit Peter Parker and them will surly extinguish any fire no matter how engulfing

It isn't doing more than 400K buys, let alone a million.

All these you wrote is just to make yourself feel better.

The lineal champ is stuff is just a hype job.

The champ of the division is just a belt away from being undisputed and you are flattering yourself.

Facts are facts in the HW and will not change.

A unified champ with 4 belts in 22 fights.
A longest champ with 7 defences, 1 mando and no unification in 40 fights. All these are facts.

Don't come here to act like a victim. The casuals already k on the truth.

Lets be real the division is weak. The only guy who actually beat the man that held the titles was Fury. AJ collected belts that were won by mediocre competition only because they were vacated. Martin, Parker, old and inactive Wlad? I'll give him Wlad even though he was old and had already been beaten by Fury.Same thing with Wilder. It's pretty much like Crawfords run at 140, unified champ sounds good but look who he beat.

If this PPV flops do Wilder fans just expect Hearn to give him 60-40 out of charity or something?? I don't get it.

^^Listen to the grease dripping off this slimy paternalistic parasite.
As if Wilder needs Eddie to eat.

What does it benefit u to assume a paternalistic mindset when u broke, blogging from ya moms basement ?

Eddie ***** and AJoke are not popular in US, Eddie ***** is on a empty Seat American roll, and AJoke can’t crack 100,000 views in US, those 2 UK bums can stay in the Queenland

Your American hype job wilder is a mere challenger before AJ no matter how loud you scream on this forum.

Whenever he grows balls to dere, he knows his way to the UK where the unified champ resides.

We don't go around making noise like a ****** boy.

If it does 400k thats still 28 million in PPV revenue. Add in gate and sponsors and broadcast rights and the fight brings in around 50 million in total revenue. AJ/Wlad did 64 million and they needed over 1.5 million PPV buys and in a 80k stadium

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Not alot to pick holes on here... If it does 4/500k then give the guy 60/40 in AJ's favour.

If it does less then look at 35/65. Don't go less be sure the fight will never be made.

If the fight does 300k or less which it won't.. it'll do more, then don't offer a ****ing 80/20 split because that's a straight duck from Hearn.

Article seems to be a bit behind the times on what's been offered to wilder. He's had more than 15 and a percentage offered now.

I'd actually argue (which I've been saying for a while) that 300k is a successful PPV, and would garner a 60/40 split. At what would probably be somewhere around $70-$80 a pop, that'll be roughly $2.4 million in revenue, which is more than what a standard Sky Sports PPV would bring in, and compared to AJ's price, it's not much less. At 500k views, Wilder brings in more revenue than AJ's last PPV, and that should get him above 40%. Once you get above 800k, that revenue slaughters, and actually doubles AJ's last PPV revenue, which means 50/50. Of course this is based on $80 vs. 29 lbs. In any case 300k is a success, 500k is a smashing success and 800k would actually be unbelievable. I think this will be more about revenue than viewership.

Those guys prediction 1mil buy will not even buy the fight to help the numbers.

They are mere keyboard warriors and the casuals already know them.

Wilder himself predicted 2.5 million PPVs.

The division is what it is. I can't manufacture fighters. The unified champ has taking more risk than any other HW in the division and the 4 belts, global recognition, stadium fights, more money is his rewards. Every fighter in the division wants to fight him. All these he achieved in 21 fights.... All these are facts. If am lieing, feel free to correct me.

I can give you at least 8 names of currently active HW that wilder has not fought in 40 fights being the longest champ. If he has not fought
Pulev
Podvetkin
Whyte
Miller
Parker
Chisora
Takam
Martin
Who has he being fighting then?
He couldn't get WK, haye to fight him.

These same guys you call weak that AJ collected belts from, if they are that weak, why didn't wilder unify with any of them considering the fact that his team claim they have 50mil in the bag.

Wilder try so hard to avoid his mandatories. This is also a fact.
