Just like the first was going to do a mil PPV and 20 mil in Vegas. You Wilder fans are ****ing ******. Wilder can't draw **** without Fury or Joshua. He isn't a draw himself.
Just remain salty Eddie Hearn fanboy while Wilder collects his dough
i don’t see how u think he’s going to double that. Wilder was able to do these numbers because he fought Fury. He has the rematch then what? How many guys does Wilder-Breazeale do? Sounds like a showtime or fox fight to me.
Well tell me just how much money was he going to make after a Joshua fight and rematch then genius?
This was Wilder and Fury's first PPV and at 80 dollars to sell 325k is no where close to terrible.
What was Floyd's first PPV? Pacquaio's first PPV? Oscar's first PPV? All around the 300k mark.
Your idea of what good numbers are is so out of touch with reality it's insane.
Why are u all so defensive. They are poor figures, its irrelevant whether its his first ppv or not. It did a quarter of what canelo/ggg did, two foreign fighters. Wilder had more than enough time to build a fanbase but he fought bums instead. Hes had 40 damn fights and hes 32 (i think) you people act like hes just come out of nappies
We all know the fight did 278k buys from a legit unbiased source
Breakeven was 250k which means above 250k wilder and fury get a cut
Wilder didn’t walk away with more than 6m
And what's the source? Kevin Iole is the best in the business at Yahoo and he said the number was 325k. Unbiased and always giving the best information.
In fairness to Hearn he has a star that would draw 350k buys fighting his granny.
The numbers really aren’t that impressive
In America it is because boxing has to compete against other multi billion dollar industry sports like college football, college basketball, the NFL, NBA, MLB and the NHL.
Where as in the U.K. The market is at least five times smaller. It is much smaller than the U.S. All boxing has to compete against in that country is largely soccer.
Yanks inexplicably are prepared to pay £60 odd quid or whatever the exchange rate is now for a PPV. So obviously massive dough. £10 million quid for Wilder? That’s big money.
If you charged price over here for PPV Eddie and Adam Smith would crammed into a cannon and fired into the Atlantic
