Comments Thread For: Espinoza: Wilder-Fury Couldn't Happen If Not On Pay-Per-View

Wilder and Fury combined are worth about 3 to 5 million tops.

Somebody at Showtime blinked first.

I say 10 million with promotion it has garnished on the last 2 months it's a solid fight too but it could of made more money if Wilder fought Joshua first

Funk you Stephen! I shouldn’t fork over $75 the same month as I must buy Christmas presents but my bars and theaters are not showing in the area so I might have to.

One PPV in December, featuring 2 of the Top 3 HWs, is not a problem! 3 PPVs in the span of 4 months is a BIG problem! As wild as it may sound, I think Wilder vs. Fury is probably the least PPV worthy fight of all 3!

I do agree with you but it's based on what fight is more worthy a lot of would say Spence vs Garcia but tine frame wise Wilder vs Fury is better for now I would had those fights at least 5 months apart because Showtime normally would air 2 maybe 3 PPV fights a year so this is not good

But for me they should of Spence vs Garcia but made that Wilder vs Fury fight after Wilder fought Joshua but Fury could of fought Kauffman or Kowinacki he had Ortiz Brezeale or Miller but this makes me question what would they really have to offer Joshua regardless of that 50 Mill

I'm not sure. Doesn't seem to have that buzz and it was a slow gate seller.

Joshua is the money man.

Putting this on PPV will allow showtime to recoup some of the money they would lose they if were just paying license fees and airing it on the network. The people who get screwed are the hard-core fans who want to see the fight. Casuals aren’t buying this guaranteed Because no one knows who either fighter is outside of boxing fans. The small number of buys will mitigate some of their loss but they are still going to take a huge hit the way HBO did with Ward and Kovalev. PPV wouldn’t be so expensive if the distributors like the cable companies weren’t taking such a high percentage of the revenue. Showtime could charge 35 bucks for this on their app and still make the same money if all their subscribers watched it that way. However they are selling it on their app and I believe it’s for the same price. They get to keep all that and it will help mitigate the loss even more.

This PPV is not worthy for the undecard alone

I am not against with this PPV If they made a better undercard and not that garbage undercard. Luis Ortiz is going to fight a shot Travis Kauffman, Jarret Hurt proving his shoulder in a PPV, what the fuck is that? and a showcase mismatch for Joe Joyce. Adonis vs Oleksandr Gvozdyk is worthy for this undercard for example.

Not sure what his expectations are, but I don't see the fight doing better than 200K buys.

[Digital Mouth]

Wilder has not only predicted that he will KO Fury he has also predicted that this fight will do 2 Million PPV. He's either right on both occasions or terribly deluded.

Showtime could possibly put on back to back ppv flops

I hope at least 1 of the 3 at least does well otherwise these guys are gonna move to DAZN HAHA JK... KINDA
