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

[Raggamuffin]

Wilder has to entertain Fury’s demands, and make sure that both make top dollar again.

[BillyBoxing]

Wilder is gonna take him out early in the rematch!

Pray for that, Fury is a maniac on a mission.
He's obsessed by Wilder now like he was by klit.

He's probably in the gym lifting weights right now screaming "Wilder! Wilder! Wilder!"

He will be fitter and have no ring rust in the rematch. Bring up an even better game plan.

Meanwhile, wilder is making up excuses in the medias and plan to dumbly add 35 lbs.

Someone wanting to keep that hometown advantage.

Not going to happen in the US.

After seeing the score cards....No way Fury/Warren risk it again in the US. Fury knows he'll never get a decision in the US.

Tyson once needed a fight wherever he could get it but that was yesterday. Today Wilder needs the fight to clear his record and Fury doesn't need the fight at all.

Even if Warren agrees to the US you can be sure Fury will turn it down. The guy is smarter than he looks.

Right to the point!

Fury should say U.K or just go to Joshua and essentially beat them both to the punch. He's already beaten Wilder once and was the victim of foul play. Why go to a venue that had him ahead against Ortiz?

Meanwhile he can fight Joshua and he wins that he's calling all the shots or he could get robbed again and have his choice of re-matches and he'd likely get more money for Joshua anyway.

Anyway, the re-match will happen first and likely be in Vegas.

Looks like it will be Vegas

Wilder doesn’t seem to keen to come to the U.K.

Shame because it would be a massive sell out over here

Wilder was exposed and with that his negotiating leverage took a big hit.

Barclay's? You're not the A-Side you dumb country cùnt. Fight in the UK or NO fight at all!

[Bronx2245]

Not a clue to be honest

Maybe you guys pay a lot more for ringside seats

90,000 people paying on average £80 (low end) I can’t fathom how 20,000 tickets make more money

Unless ringside is ridiculous prices ? Like I said i haven’t got a clue what you guys pay over there

Do the casinos pay big for having the fight in their halls ? Again not a clue

This might help put some perspective on it:

December 12, 2016:

Whether the fight itself will be exciting (obviously) remains to be seen, but there’s no denying that this is going to be a major event. Joshua vs. Klitschko is projected to be far and away the highest grossing fight in the history of British boxing. Both The Daily Star and The Mirror have pegged the gross revenue to be £42 million (approximately $53 million US), which would leave the previous record, the 2014 rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves, in the dust at £22 million. A lower estimate from The Daily Telegraph’s Gareth A. Davies has it at £30 million (Approx. $38 million US), with Joshua and Klitschko splitting £18 million in purse money. None of these fights is anywhere near Mayweather-Pacquiao, Lewis-Tyson, or several other high-profile boxing bouts staged in the US, but it’s still a pretty big number.

Here’s The Mirror’s breakdown of the figures that would lead to a £42 million fight:
•1.5 million pay-per-views at £16.95, generating £25.4m
•£4m from German TV company RTL (Editor’s note: RTL is Klitschko’s television partner)
•£1.5m from US TV (Editor’s note: The bout will air on either HBO or Showtime, but not on PPV in the US)
•£8m in gate receipts from a record 90,000 crowd
•£1m from sponsorship
•£1m from rest of the world TV rights
•£1m from merchandising

September 6, 2017:

Per the Score, the Money Fight sold 13,094 tickets producing a gate of $55.4 million. Promotional teams gave out 137 seats for free.

The T-Mobile Arena was configured to seat 17,698, so that means there were 4,467 unpurchased tickets for the fight.

The gate falls just under $17 million short of the record-setting 2015 bout between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, but it's still a strong second place ahead of Money's 2013 win over Canelo Alvarez. It produced a gate of just over $20 million.

The ticket prices for the Mayweather-McGregor fight ranged from $500 to $10,000.

8 Million "pounds" is only equal to $10, 050, 920 US Dollars! The "Money" fight was Mayweather vs. McGregor!

Agreed

With wilders style the only way he will ever win on points is with home cooking

I can see why he wouldn’t want to risk his belt with fair judges
