Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder-Fury Has Only Sold 8,000 Tickets; Not A Good Look

[petegrif]

Hearn is such an asshat.
He has made such rookie mistakes that people on here figured out real fast:
1 he puts the fight on in Los Angeles not Vegas. Everyone knows that is a ****ty expensive town with no fight fans.
2 his undercard is terrible. Not enough Latinos for one thing
3 the promotion is terrible, nobody has even heard about the fight. There's no buzz at all
4 he didn't protect Wilder from Fury when they were out on TVtogether. Fury outtalked him. So predictable
5 being the greedy bastard he is he overpriced the tickets
What a loser
What sort of an idiot promoter would make those kind of ****** mistakes?
Eddie the idiot that's who.

1 mil UK PPV's @ $25= $25 mil

1 mil US PPV's @$70= $70 mil

Who would be the A-side then?

If Wilder-Fury sells 300k that's $21 mil

That makes more sense

For Joshua wilder you have to be looking st close to 2 mil buys in uk alone. £20x2milx1.3fx = $52mil.

Then Joshua has deals/rights in other countries etc.

If wilder fury makes $21 mil ; then clearly he is no bigger % than now?

No one really cares about the fight.... Los Angeles is freaking expensive

Bro this fight is only going to do 75k us ppv buys who are you trying to kid?

I had my heart set on attending this but they came too aggressive out the gates only offering $1k tickets pretending all the other sold out so I said **** it.

There’s no buzz around town about it and nobody asking me about it. Out of principle I won’t go now even if I find cheaper tickets even though I don’t think it’s a bad fight.

Yeah, if they're charging that much I'd do the same thing man. I'll probably hit up the Loma fight since it's close to me.

They’ll get a million buys from Alabama alone....lets go champ!

Lololololol..... I love the sarcasm. You were being sarcastic weren’t you??

[Earl-Hickey]

Hang on is there a lomachenko foght on the same night as this.

It won’t do 300,000. Why?? Only god knows. You Americans are a weird bunch. It’s a good fight with 2 charismatic Heavyweights. 330 million people reside in the states, surely 500, 000 PPV buys is not asking for too much? No you will rather put your efforts into watching Dodgeball, baseball and reality Tv.

It’s a crying shame how you treat your champion. If he kept his mouth shut we would have embraced him over here. 3 or 4 fights he would have earned enough to retire. Instead he has fought 40 fights and probably made 20 million combined.

It’s with a deep heart that I say it’s actually Wilder that has been milked. How can someone so Gregarious have no commercial deals?

All his fans are on boxingscene and fighthype and I don’t think it will be enough


Yours faithfully

not really because revenue from the states is split in half so if he sells 300k at 70 a pop only 35 you ever see..unlike here 1m buys at 25 dollars stays at 25 dollars ..we don't have cable providers like time warner or Comcast in the uk..let's talk real figures that actually can be counted on the boxing table

You're wrong. UK promoter is paying sizable portion out to PPV provider just like US promoter is. Whether that's InDemand in the US or Sky Box Office in the UK.

Ahh no it wasn't

Ahhh.....yes it was. Until Thurman fought Garcia.
