    I can't wait to see what these numbers look like moreso than who the victor will be. I guess I want to see how much of a draw these guys really are and if they are able to become ppv stars or just regular network fighters.

      I say he's got one out of two right at best.

        This fight will flop immensely. Wilder won’t get his cash out retirement check he desperately wants from AJ, instead, he will have to get humiliated for much less.

          Nonsense excuse.

          The biggest, most-costly events in the world are on free TV. Wilder-Fury being on PPV is dinosaur mentality.

              I don't think too many people will buy it in the UK due to the 5AM start time. The **** undercard won't lend itself to many people staying up for it either.

                  I love how everyone is saying that PPV is a dated model and PPV is dead because Eddie said so.

                    The players get paid less for the Super Bowl than Mayweather and Pacquiao were paid.

                    So when you say most-costly event, that's not really true.

                    Boxing has always had a fundamental problem. The fighter has no incentive to care about the future of the sport.

                    The Super Bowl would make way more money on PPV, but if you put it on PPV, slowly, over time, you'd lose a lot of fans and in the end, the league would be worth less eventually.

                    But boxers have no reason to care about the future the way NFL owners do.

                      I meant if it was on uk time and in uk.
