Wilder-Fury U.S. PPV price set at $75

[Boksfan]

According to delusional Deontay's 2.5 million PPV projection this will generate over $180m in PPV sales at $75 per PPV.

That's what he said, time for reality check.

That's too much when we in England only pay £17. I wouldn't pay for it if our prices were that high. If everyone streamed these fights they would have to lower the prices.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Way too much IMO. What do you think?

That’s fine with me and for everybody else cuz they are watching it for free lol.

Let them price it at $100

That is 3:1 in ratio compare to U.K. prices. $25 for PPV here. So selling 350k PPV is the same as selling 1million plus over here. They should have a good bargaining chip once this happens for Wilder/Fury.

Wishful thinking, I think they'll be lucky to sc**** 200k, but let's not jump to conclusions yet.

Also I believe Joshua has sold:
1.5 vs Wlad
1.5 vs Parker
1.1 vs Povetkin
890k vs Takam

I'm not sure what kind of bargaining chip either of them will have based off doing poor numbers with the most popular heavy outside Joshua.

Revenue >>> anything else

Well point still stands then...

We'll see. It's not like Joshua is generating tremendous revenue off gate & PPV. Not at all, actually.

This would be his first PPV, and it’s obvious Fury helps if the sales. Would Wilder/Breazeale sell as much or even be on PPV? At the end of the day the market would dictates what they both deserve.

I just don’t think any fighter should hold each other to ransom over money, if they can’t come to an agreement due to money then that isn’t a “Duck” especially when your side doesn’t bring as much revenue to the table.

That's off the point...they need to sell 500k to match his 2 biggest fights.

What do you consider tremendous? I consider £15-20 million pay days every fight pretty tremendous

$37.5 million in gross ppv revenue, well over $10 million in gross gate revenue is not tremendous? You have high expectations...

When the A-side says give me 50 million and I'll sign tomorrow, and you give him 50 million and he refuses to keep his word, that's a duck.

When the A-side says, I changed my mind about 50 million in the US, I'll give you 15 to come to the UK, and the B-side says yes, and the A-side goes and fights Povetkin anyway, that's a duck.

AJ ducked Wilder this year, plain and simple. Doesn't mean he's not willing to fight him next year or the year after. But clearly fighting him in 2018 just wasn't something Hearn was going to allow, and AJ by virtue of going along with Hearn's ruse, can correctly be labeled a duck.
