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

[Sid-Knee]

Google it it’s there trust me I read it from plenty of forum that he made at least 14-15 mil for this fight after everything was counted

You mean from forum members that are trying to make out that he got paid a lot more money so he can swindle Joshua even though the numbers don't even add up?

You think Wilder should be offered more than 30%. No, he shouldn't. He'll make more money on 30% than he ever came close to in his fight with Fury. You know, the fight Wilder said was much bigger than a Joshua fight? So if it's a much bigger fight than the Joshua fight, he'll have no problem picking up more money than he did for Fury. But guess what, he won't take the fight unless he gets an extortionate amount of money. And people like you will agree with him even though it doesn't make any ****ing sense.

Are you people really that scared of Joshua ending this fraud?

Do you think Joshua/Wilder is the biggest fight in UK history in terms of PPV buys aka bigger than Joshua/Klitschko? Yes or no? If so, why do you think it is? What is the value of Wilder here? Would Joshua vs Whyte II or Joshua vs Usyk do Joshua vs Wilder numbers yes or no?

And Wilder will ABSOLUTELY make more money vs Fury in a rematch opposed to getting 30% from Joshua and getting no PPV money. The Wilder vs Fury rematch is going to be huge and get close to the million mark in the US and I'm thinking around 700-800k UK buys. Even if we were to be conservative and say it does only 600k US buys, then he still makes more money than he would if he gets 30% of the purse vs Joshua. If you don't agree with that, please break it down for me.

Hearns is an idiot. The numbers were fine and better than I expected. The fight made money, the fighters made good money. He's just butt hurt it wasn't in the UK

Why would Hearn care if Fury/Wilder was in the UK or not?

Huh??? How is 325k terrible for Wilder's first PPV?

Golovkin did 150k on his first PPV, Wilder's first PPV more than doubled that.

Wilder is American, Golovkin is not. Surely you don't need to ask such a question?

So THAT'S all you have to be to sell PPVs in America huh? Just be American? Ah okay, makes sense then...Oh wait, three of the biggest PPV sellers stateside the last decade were/are Canelo/Pacquiao/Cotto. How is that possible when they aren't American?????

You and I both know the narrative that Hearn wants to push is that Wilder doesn't deserve the money he is asking for so that's why the fight isn't happening. He isn't talking to the avg boxing fan, he is speaking to the AJ fans that buy AJ vs anybody tickets and ppv.

Wilder doesn't make this kind of money outside of Fury and Joshua. Stop pretending that he does. It's all on his dance partner, not him. If he fights someone else, his true worth will be the numbers he was doing before this fight.

If Finkle tries to put Wilder on PPV outside of these 2, that would be hilarious. Because no one is stupid enough to pay that kind of money for bum fights.

But those numbers are ****?

325,000 for what you lot claimed to be the biggest fight in 2018 and the fight to bring the buzz back into the Heavyweight division in America?

Yeah, they're really **** numbers. Don't even dare try pretend otherwise.

Why are they horrible? Because they aren't as good has some predicted? Do explain what makes them horrible. Please use factual details.

Hearn is so salty. He is so salty that joshua v TBA in april hasnt sold a single ticket yet. Go home turn TBA into an actual fighter and sort your own fighter out. Im sure fury and wilder care what eddie thinks.

Huh??? Tickets aren't on sale for Joshua's fight in April.
