Wilder is unloading a bunch of tickets to firemen

$32m from the US TV rights, call it £6m/$8m from the UK TV rights (£15 on BT Sport Box Office, for 750k homes, with half going to outside parties), $5m from the live gate, and you've just generated more money in LA than 90k were able to draw for Joshua-Klitschko at Wembley.
And that's before you count event sponsors, merch, Canadian/Mexican TV money , the rest of the international TV, etc.
Unless you have some source where Eddie Hearn has the offer of 50/50 if Wilder does 500k PPV buys (@$75/$65, you're basically talking about $17m for the US rights; add up all the pieces and Wilder would likely be looking at a $30m pot), you should probably STFU.Comment

There's enough success in boxing for everyone. One banner does not have to fall for the next to prosper. These petty unnecessary grudes being invented towards the random fighter or organization doesn't do anything but holt progress. Look the situation is easy to read. It's a pattern. And there's two sides to this foolishness. The people who are fans of AJ see wilder as threat. So instead of having confidence in their guy they take the opposite approach. They develop some weird hate for wilder and wish him to lose. Hope he doesn't sell tickets or ppvs. They want wilder to have no popularity because they think that will prevent the fight. It's not a good look. The Floyd fans did it for many and vice versa. Canelo/ggg fans started a smear campaign against each boxer "lil g" mr.97k". It shows your insecuritie nd lack of faith in your guy. Let's wish all these guys the best if success. And let's find out who the best is in the ring, not by compare fight purses or endorsement deals.
The OP just posted the obvious. Why are you bettered about it. He has not said anything that is false or contrary.
Don't get buttered unnecessaryly because it has to do with wilder.Comment

Don't mind that guy; he lives his own sad life, so it's whatever.
Even if it's 50 tickets, a fight week story (that will get picked up by the LA Times) of an American heavyweight champion of the world, reaching out to the public servants who are risking their necks not to see SoCal burn, is somehow linked back to how well/ not well the rest of the tickets in a 20000-seat venue are going, lol.
Take Deontay and "About Broke" back to the middle east. Nobody wants them here. Classless ungrateful punksComment

Traveling to London for a voluntary defense, to likely sellout O2 Arena at aggressive prices, and draw well on PPV (he's not likely to top Joshua-Klitschko on his first go, but he'll top what Joshua was doing before that easily), not to mention the backing of Showtime for the live airing/re-airing would've generated well north of $10m (No set notion of the full-on economics of the fight in the UK, but clearing $20m/£15m on the event isn't some impossibility).
Why would the WBC Heavyweight champion travel to an opponent's backyard (Whyte may have been rated #8/9 by then), with British officials on the event, for basically 50% of what one could expect the fight to be able to draw?
And, why would Deontay Wilder take $15m on a fight that Joshua's promoter said may be worth $45m in the UK, in an undisputed title fight in the UK, when Wilder and his camp see a path to $75m+ on the fight in the US?Comment

Wilder turned down the Whyte offer because it wasn't fair value and everyone knew it.

Whyte Parker only made around 1 mil each.
Bellew only got 4 mil against Usyk.
The only way to earn the money your talking of is by fighting AJ, stop over inflating estimates to protect Wilders decision to pass on Whyte aka ducking him.
In answer to why would Wilder take 15 mil because he's 'about legacy not money' and winning make 41-0 undisputed and would sky rocket his future potential earnings but he clearly isn't about that. That's not me saying it was a good deal but a neccessary sacrifice if he meant what he said.Comment

Eddie Hearn has publicly said that the only way he'd ever offer Deontay Wilder a 50% share on Joshua-Wilder from Wembley would be if Wilder-Fury drew 1 million buys.
$32m from the US TV rights, call it £6m/$8m from the UK TV rights (£15 on BT Sport Box Office, for 750k homes, with half going to outside parties), $5m from the live gate, and you've just generated more money in LA than 90k were able to draw for Joshua-Klitschko at Wembley.

Are mexicans really going to care about Wilder?
Wilder Fury is not doing anywhere 750k buys in the UK with the time difference and the poor quality of card, Haymon and co have really failed to invest in a massive opportunity to boost Wilders profile again also possibly pricing themself out, at $75, from the larger proportion of the casual market.
Stop pulling figures out your ass.Comment

The undercard stinks enough, they really don't need to bring a flock of people that don't shower and smells like garbage in the venue.
Fury is donating his money for the area homeless no need to agitate paying fans with possible unstable people as well they have that too , Wilder is bringing hundreds of his followers like the ones who attacked Breazeale in a hotel lobby.Last edited by REDEEMER; 11-28-2018, 06:19 AM.Comment

It makes perfect sense little mind, but since you have a little mind you can't see the big picture. as you will learn more. And as far as wilder goes, he holds no special place in my heart. he is on equal ground as Aj as far as I'm concerned. I respect them both fully as warriors. And i respect and support them both. And thata abou where it ends.. neither one of them are special. both entertaining though. but some guys are happy and reporting that the event wont be a success.. it's like a certain crowd wants the ppv to bomb because it will affect the aj fight. let's hope wilder does well and this event lead to a even BIGGER fight between the 2 next.Comment
