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

[trippers1]

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.

Hearns a DOPE!! Cant wait until AJ loses.

$79.99 vs. What like $15.99??

Since when £19.95 equals $15.99??

You do know £>$ ??

Tyson made 100 mil during his comeback and had the fink in his ear.

Tyson was very candid about why his money disappeared. He even sued for some of it back. Wasn't Finkel, but ok.

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.

And golovkins latest just quadrupled it.

It's sad that Eddie Hearn who happens to be in the boxing business wants to see the sport fail. It's so unfortunate that he is full of glee that the Wilder/Fury fight did just over 300,00 buys between two relatively unknowns. However, what he doesn't understand is in today's U.S. boxing market that is a success story.

Had this been the 1990s it would have been a huge letdown because back then boxing was a mainstream sport in America. That's why Lennox Lewis fought here. Just give it some time boxing is on its way to making a comeback in the U.S. soon.

Hearn needs to just suck this one up. It was a good fight, well promoted and the numbers are fine.

As a brit would I pay £60 on top of a sky subscription for a Joshua fight? No chance.

Whoever wrote this article already ethered Eddie *****. lol. nice job.

Fury vs Wilder 2 is the hottest topic in boxing right now. nobody gives a fck about the juiced up bodybuilder vs Dillian Shyte.

And golovkins latest just quadrupled it.

That was because of Canelo though, not Golovkin.

I'm just keeping it 100

I have no problem with Eddie hearn as long as he stays consistent with DAZN.

Eddie Hearn is a good promoter despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Wilder was GUARANTEED $4 million plus PPV. BOTH made over $10,000,000+ $14 sounds about right.

Actually its posted on mutiple sites Wilder did make $14mil

You don't even know what a "guarantee" means.
They get a guarantee if PPV purse split is (bcs of poor sales) lover than a guarantee, not guarantee + PPV. Otherwise (if PPV purse split is higher than a guarantee) they get PPV purse split. That's why it's called a guarantee!
btw, in the US, only 45% of the total PPV revenue goes to (both) fighters.
