Comments Thread For: Hearn To Wilder, Fury: We Run The Show, You Didn't Even Sell Out

[Jax teller]

Just do a bit of basic maths please.

300k buys at $75 is $22.5m (the figure would likely be less because of the $65 price point for SD).

Networks takes approx 50%. Everybody else needs to get paid.

It's unlikely that Fury and Wilder got minimum guarantees of them amounts, I suspect they are top end figures if 250k buys was the break even point, and that's being optimistic. BT PPV did less than Khan/Maidana.

If Wilder turned down $15m vs AJ to take $10-$12m against Fury that is not a good look.

In fact Wilder was offered AJ and a tune up for $20m and said no. He needs to get out from under Haymon.

He completely made it up anyway mate.

Don't know what site you read that from tripling the actuals guarantees. Just goes to show anything you post is a load of nonsense.

"Wilder is guaranteed $4 million and Fury $3 million with both men having an opportunity to earn far more from pay-per-view revenue."

and these say 8 million pounds. And those are from your country too. It was also reported on here 10 for Wilder and 8 for Fury. But if everything i post is a load of nonsense, then block me instead of being a little ******.

Not trying to add any fuel to the fire here but didn't Hearn offer £15m, not $15m???

Not that it makes any difference, he didn't accept.

I never said the numbers made sense. I just said what I had read, and I posted the links on the other page, since I was accused of "making it up"

When a sports place says "This is the purse" and it's before the pay per view is even televised, I figure it's safe to assume that's the guarantee since nobody know's it it's a flop or not.

No where does that mention that they're guarantees they're the whole purse.

You was dis*****g a my original state of the total purse being $24 mil the telegraph backs ME up ******, 14 mil Wilder 10 mil Fury 14+10= 24 (just in case you're struggling)

Now piss off and get an education.

I agree, I think a rematch will be successful but to say it will be huge may be jumping the gun a bit.

I do think that there will be a lot of buzz in the fallout of the first fight and a lot of talk. The issue is, because Wilder was soundly beaten, Fury may turn to Joshua and a fight in the UK because of the manner of the scoring in the Wilder fight. A fight with Joshua may have become even bigger because Wilder was so poor. Fury may see Joshua as the next logical step. If he beats Joshua, a rematch with Wilder (if Wilder can keep hold of his WBC belt) would then be huge.

I don't think it is jumping the gun to say it will be huge at all. But hey, neither of us can prove that until we get the actual rematch.

"Soundly beaten" is not at all how the casuals stateside took the fight. That right there lies the issue with the thinking of some Brits. They took it as a very good fight with high drama late in the fight. I'd say the most common scorecard I saw was 8-4 Fury, or possibly 9-3 by some. It wasn't a one sided fight once you take into account the KDs.

If Fury gets the Joshua fight in April than more power to him. That would no question be the biggest fight in the UK history and just a hell of a worldwide event. I don't think anyone will be disappointed if those two face off in April. Really, mix either of the three up and fans will be satisfied. I just think it is more likely we get the Wilder/Fury rematch next. But Hearn knows he can't mess around in negotiations with either Wilder or Fury this time around and both have another high money option available to them. So let's see what happens on that front.

That's supposed to be impressive? Joshua does 1m+ most fights.

[Mr.365]

this fight will happen when they're old AF like Floyd-Pacquiao
