Anybody else not really excited for Wilder-Fury?

We'll see this weekend, I'd say this fat gypsy is getting knocked out early.

I say he gets stopped between the 6-8 rd.

I'm actually quite excited for it. Two great fighters with brash personalities, itll be amusing to watch.

The hype has definitely died down significantly.

When it was announced, most people thought it might pull 500k, and now most are predicting below 200k.

I put some of the blame on Mayweather stealing their thunder.

But most of the blame should be on the announcement of Pac/Broner, which I expect to sell waaaay more than Wilder/Fury.

I'm interested in it but not really excited because I don't think Fury has a prayer. Stevenson vs Gvozdyk i'm really excited about, but there doesn't seem to be much hype around it unfortunately.

Wilder-Fury will be what it is, a dude that hasn’t had a legit fight in years and has fought off drug and mental issues during his hiatus against a non-technical tall boxer with power.

Definitely be watching but expect Fury to tire out late and get caught. He may survive but he won’t win, if he looks good, he still won’t win....it’ll be a draw.

I do want to Stevenson lose though, so overhyped, so protected and he used to beat women. I’m looking more forward to that one than the Fury one honestly.

I was not feeling this fight until this week...maybe I have been watching too many promotional videos recently.

Also, it’s free where I live on Fox sports...which makes this undercard and main event look all the better

I'm looking forward to it but the price tag is ridiculous. And I'm the type of guy to put cash on good PPVs but I don't feel like this is worth 75, should've been 40 bucks.

its a significant fight because the lineal as well the WBC belt is on the line. As a fight I'm not expecting a classic fight by any stretch of the imagination. Wilder has a struggle in his boxing and Fury is a cokehead who abused his body. It's more I expect Wilder to eventually land that right hand and Fury goes night night. It really needed a better undercard than the one thats announced.

Lol after that presser I'm even more hyped honestly, I know that's what Fury does best and generally in the ring it's not as compelling... but people saying he's going to do to Wilder what he did to Klitschko just seems unrealistic to me. Wilder is not Klitschko. If Fury is boxing his pants off Wilder is going to start swinging for the fences, maybe he catches Fury or maybe he leaves him self wide open to get dropped by him. Compelling matchup, without a doubt.
