Comments Thread For: Wilder 'Would Love' For Barclays Center To Host Fury Rematch

That’s not what I said / meant dafty

Those fighters travelled to America to make the big money

Joshua already makes big money where he is .

I know the top fighters you mentioned earn top wack in front of 17,000 . Not the point I was trying to make (badly)

The point you were poorly trying to make is that Joshua sells 90,000 tickets in the UK, but these other world class fighters couldn't do the same! You don't think Pacquiao could sell 90,000 tickets in Manila? You don't think Canelo could sell 90,000 tickets in Mexico City? You don't think Lomachenko couldn't sell 90,000 tickets in Kiev? Of course they could! It all depends on the price of a ticket! The revenue is what makes a difference, not the attendance! That's why they live there, and work here! Why? Because "here" is where the money is! Here is where the legends fought and still fight! Here is where the prize fighter makes the biggest prize! If Joshua never fights in America, the sport will move forward without him!

Vegas not Barclays either Vegas or London anywhere else is nonsense unless mutual ground like Dubai but time of fight would conflict with everyone in the west

Wilder hurt Fury more than Fury hurt Wilder.. An fury touched the canvas twice.. therfore.. Wilder Won. Period. Anything else is just blind hate.

I heard they're looking for judges in Vegas. You should submit your resume.

Nevermind, I forwarded your post over to the commission, you start next week.

I think Fury missed a big opportunity to take Wilders belt. All he had to do was stay grab and run I mean he outweighed him by 40+ that's the time to take advantage of that. He put up a excellent fight and I see both sides of the arguments win/lose. But that knock down did it for Wilder. I think I'm the rematch he will KO Fury. Late in the fight Wilder was settling down and starting to time Fury (hence the two knock downs), so I think he'll have the timing down better and he won't be so nervous. Wilder still needs a new trainer or at least hire a good assistant coach maybe Ronnie Shields!!

I personally say either the UK or Vegas!! But Wilder probably won't go to the UK, I think team Fury would have to give in for too many demands.

I actually think Wilder sustained more damage.

His face was more marked. Wilder got schooled man, grow up

No way the only place this fight can happen is Vegas in the US.

But the bigger money is probably in The UK.

I think Fury earned having the next one in his backyard.

Fight should be next year in the UK. Because let’s be honest Fury got jobbed on the last one.

The biggest that a fight in the UK could ever dream about drawing (maxing everything out) is $55m.

The biggest that a fight in the US could ever dream about drawing in $550m+ (Floyd-Pacquiao was definitely an anamoly, but the point still holds that giant money gets made in the US).

With Wilder and Fury likely splitting the take on the rematch 50/50 (after seemingly splitting the first fight just more than 55/45 Wilder), Fury's only concerns should be maximizing the potential money, getting a ref that gives him every chance to fight, and getting fair and competent judges to score the fight (for all the hysteria at the result, Rochin's card would've been fine at 114-112 Wilder; 10-2 Fury would've been just as silly).

I was thinking about things attendance wise. But if they’re really offering that much more in Vegas they would be idiots to turn it down.

Order of interest for location:

1. T-Mobile Arena, across MGM Resorts, in Las Vegas. SHOPPV/BT Sport Box Office.

2. Old Trafford, in Manchester. BT Sport Box Office/ possibly CBS (depending on when the fight happens).

3A. Barclays Center, in Brooklyn NY. SHOPPV/ BT Sport Box Office.
3B. Staples Center, in LA, again. SHOPPV/BT Sport Box Office
3C. Legion Field, in Birmingham AL (outdoor stadium that seats 75000; stand-in for JerryLand, which is set to stage Spence-Garcia in March. If JerryLand becomes available, that likely bumps Old Trafford for #2, but easily alone into #3).

4. Legacy Arena, in Birmingham.
