Comments Thread For: Fury: I Tricked Wilder, He Made The Biggest Mistake of His Life!

well we will see di ck head wtf you on about eddie hearn

You mean "Lying Eddie"? or "British Bob"?

The guy knows how to milk money out of Joshua, and keep him safe, I'll give him that. I just hate all his lies and contradictions. Typical UK promoter?

AJ wanted no parts of Ortiz. Only wilder would fight Ortiz. Ortiz is a master boxer who can also punch. Behind wilder he is the most avoided fighter. AJ and his handlers are smart, they haven't put him in with any real threats yet. they want to make as much money as possible before facing wilder.

I agree bro. As Eddie Hearn did not allow Whyte to fight Ortiz... Instead we get A bunk rematch compared to an Ortiz VS Whyte fight... Even the brits wanted Ortiz to fight Whyte. So your statement definitely holds water.

They mock Ortiz about a POSSIBLE incorrect age on him and saying he is 50 and that he has high blood pressure n that's why Wilder beat him.. They mock Ortiz to keep working around him because they know he is a tricky southpaw that can knock fighters out... They do all that to also mock wilder about him fighting bums yet they forget that they said Ortiz was gonna kill wilder.. Lol. These freaking sneaky biatches..

Like Fury could have made more money vs anybody else not named Joshua or Wilder

Fury is the cash cow of boxing and the face of the sport. He can make millions fighting cans, but he chooses to challenge himself, as much as he can anyway, a phrbkm like Fury is never really pushed, he dominates all mortals.

No point getting paranoid. It's on record wilder have been paying guys to take a dive. Don't stress your little head.

Shut the **** up you AJ nut graber, people be talking so much **** I mean seriously let's see what song your singing next week then ****ing ***** .

Don't be so confident about your lord and master wilder. He could be pummeled by fury and make him look like a shhhite.

Trade wisely bro.

hard to take Fury serious

I think they might actually be decent numbers. There are a couple of good undercard fights that will add legs to the PPV numbers. I'm looking forward to seeing the PPV numbers almost as much as seeing the fight.

I get that, but IMO, building a decent undercard is secondary to promotion (from a biz standpoint, of course). Fury has basically zero exposure in the US, and Wilder has difficulty filling small sized venues. They should've focused much, much more on marketing this fight, even if they ended up losing a little. Other than Joshua, there's no better fight to build Wilder's brand than this. They might have missed a huge opportunity.

Regarding Fury... he's nowhere near being as good as he was vs Klit. I have a hard time remembering an elite fighter shedding so many pounds during training camp and winning the fight. My prediction is that he'll get stopped in a rather nasty way.

What's your prediction in terms of US PPV sales? If it gets past 1.2 million, I'd be very surprised. I expect it to be around 750k-850k.

i think fury has been away for too long. He readily admits he is not fury that beat WK. he can move but so can wilder. wilders right hand will end this fight around 11th round. but i gotta say i really like fury he seems like a fun guy to hang out with.

Yeah you could be right, Wilder's big punch has served him well. And I agree on Fury. He does some trash talking, but inside he does seem like a genuine real person. In contrast, I've seen Wilder at 2 fight cards, I sat close by. The guy has to have constant adulation, total narcissist.

Going to be Fury jabbing and moving all night, until he tires and gets knocked out.

Could be, but I've not seen him tire yet, and I've watched many of his fights.

I believe you are in the ballpark. Could be a bit less or slightly more. The 750K-850K is decent though just not great.
