Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder-Fury PPV Number is Terrible, Absolutely Terrible

[killakali]

Well tell me just how much money was he going to make after a Joshua fight and rematch then genius?

How would we know how much Wilder would make it in a rematch when we don’t know if he wins or loses or draws genius

That 15 million dollar offer was rumored to be increased in June when Wilder initially agreed to fight Joshua, then he backed out.

Now there has been something else put in place for Wilder to be guaranteed a two fight deal with Joshua which means he would make at least 30 million to fight Joshua twice...much more than he has made to fight anyone else...

Oh and about the PPV thing...last I checked the way that PPV revenue works is that the network takes 10% off top and the remaining 90% is split in half between the cable providers and the promoter(s).

So if that is the case, if we rounded up the Wilder-Fury PPV to $80, Showtime would have took $8 x 325000 = 2.6 mil while the cable providers and Queensbury/Haymon would get 11.7 million each.

Divide that 11.7 million in half and that is what each fighter would have received in PPV revenue. So in Wilder's case if he got a base salary of 4 million and then a PPV backend of 5.85 million, he would have received a total of 9.85 million for the Fury fight. So in essence he got a shade below that figure.

Still a good amount lower than he would have received if he fought Joshua.

He made $14 million and its posted on multiple sites plus he didnt have to travel overseas for those expenses. What you think that saves not sending your entire team over there?

LoL was genuinely shocked at the title..... Hearn is definitely bugging on this one, regardless of what side you are on you have to agree that the numbers for Wilder vs Fury were good.

I actually thought it performed better than I expected. I assumed around the 150k-200 mark it’d fall around

this guy is definitely trying to make joshua - wilder and joshua - fury


eddie!

a childish fan base led by a big spoiled brat.

there shouldn’t be a fury wilder 2. Do you hear fury fans excited like you wilder fans are?as far as they are concerned and 70% of people that watched the fight fury won.

Wilder has just devalued that wbc belt . Even if joshua smashed wilder in 2 rounds and became undisputed champion there is a gypsie that has never been beat in the ring.

What fury did is what fighters do to wilder on a regular until he catches them. He is there to be outboxed. Wilder is a brother so i won’t go all in but what is this someone that can’t box we give a new term for it.... Awkward? Fury is awkward. Wilder is just looks awkward. He has crazy crazy power which makes him dangerous but he is very limited. He doesn’t even use his god given athleticism to his advantage. Fights the pace of every fighter who outweigh him by 50 lbs

hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hearn is such an idiot. He knows that it's a decent number. Who of his fighters have done jack in the US? Embarrassing tirade from him..

[sicko]

Eddie is all over the place with his opinion on this fight. Today: "It Wasn't A Good Fight", Tomorrow: "It Was A Good Fight But..."

Enough if you Eddie, you make things about you way too much, sick of seeing and hearing from this guy

Kudos to the author for coming with FACTS! Those are really solid numbers and don't even include the UK. Eddie not doing himself any favors with these comments. Math Matters lol!
