Wilder vs Fury Purse

[Ray*]

OK I'll take a stab at this. Please tell me how Wilder will get 14 million from a fight that isn't even halfway sold out the arena? I mean, it's fight week and they are giving away tickets already so how does a fight like this generate 14 million for one guy and 10 million for the other guy? Hahahha if that's the case then somebody is losing a LOT of money on this fight because no one will be in the stands, the PPV will tank and the movie theaters will be empty.

For him to make that much then the PPV would have to do well, Fury would have to take less (According to Fury he was making 50-50 for this fight).

And they would need to generate revenues from tickets and merchandise,sponsors. Its achievable if all of those factors come together, especially if the TV network doesn't take much from the whole pot.

No, and if I did it was ****** and I was younger..I am 37 years old and dont give a damn what another man makes..Lets see the fight and enjoy our Saturday nights..ya'll act like some damn gold digging females arguing over what another grown man is going to make

[Lopez_Boxing]

he's making **** up. His claim is that Wilder ducked him after the Ortiz fight. Wilder was trying to set the AJ fight up, and Hearn said "fight Whyte instead" and Wilder's response was "I will if AJ is next." which Hearn refused. Fanboys have jumped at that as "ducking whyte" even though Fury > Whyte.


I can explain the story, but Tyson Fury explains it so much better than I ever could

Thank you sir I was certain I knew a little bit of what i was talking about. This is the only time it got my radar where it seemed to pick up steam.but still it just came off as an obstacle Hearn wanted to put up to keep distan e between wilder and Joshua.....
But you know how some guys can be. It's funny that mayweather fans are the example for representing horrible hard to deal group, yet EVERY fighters hardcore fan base acts just like WHAT they claim to hate.

If this is true, then whoever's putting up the money took a huge risk and will probably end up in the red.

Kind of reminds me of Andre Ward taking that $7M flat fee and leaving Kovalev with nothing.

But the kicker is the same group thats now all about A side and " sign the flat fee or A more than you ever made" were anti mayather and his "******" fans. They claimed maywesther was using the A side and flat fees to avoid pacquiao. They said Manny would be a FOOL to agree to a flat fee. Now look at emwhat the exact same situation but totally different views

oh boy here we go
