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

[KTFOKING]

Americans haven't been all over this forum claiming it to be the biggest fight of the year? Where have you been? That's exactly what they have been saying. They even believe Wilder/Fury 2 is a bigger fight than Joshua/Wilder, or even Joshua/Fury. Which is also a load of mad bull****.

Biggest fight of the year? Once again, with GGG/Canelo II happening three months prior??

And Wilder/Fury II has nothing to do with the first fight. The rematch is going to do massive numbers and generate more money than the usual Joshua fight. Will it be bigger than Wilder/Joshua? Well, if that fight happens in the UK then you could definitely make a case that Wilder/Fury II in Vegas generates more money.

The day will never come when a piece of **** like Fury is knighted. Ever.

You make some good points, but never? You know what they say. Never say never. Fury has the people's attention, all he has to do is get past your hero, he already beat Wilder, and if he doesn't get his respects he might emigrate. Hollywood is calling. How are you going to keep Fury on the farm?

[KTFOKING]

After what Fury did to Wilder, no way it now does more than the Wlad fight. Wilder's hype has been brutally exposed. Fury is the fight that takes over that number.

Hearn is offering Wilder 35% of the PPV money. That will be 35% of the UK/US money. That's way beyond what Wilder is worth. After the Fury rematch is done (If he were to win) he'll be going back to making crumbs. No one else out there will have Americans paying that kind of money for dud fights regardless of how crazy you are.

Exposed in what sense? What exactly was exposed about him? And your guy Hearn himself said Wilder is a much bigger name now than he was just a few months ago. How exactly did that happen?

Okay, so Joshua/Wlad>Joshua/Wilder? Interesting.

If Wilder beats Fury in the rematch, he will go back to making crumbs? Um no, if he beats Fury and does it in Wilder style (Exciting stoppage), then he becomes a megastar. Then he fights the rest of his career on PPV regardless of who it is against, even the likes of Breazeale.

Americans have a greater chance to sell than anyone else. The Mexicans and Puerto Ricans are the ones who will buy the Cotto and Canelo fights. And with Pac fighting Mexicans and Puerto Ricans a lot, he'll also become a big star.

Americans have a greater chance to sell? Oh yeah, so why in the last 15 years only Mayweather has been able to sell PPVs as an American? Why is it that Canelo/Cotto/Pacquiao have sold better than the rest of Americans? If all it takes is being an American to sell PPVs, then why aren't Crawford/Spence mega stars? Why aren't they PPV superstars?

Funny, you're one the few on here still drinking the old Wilder is pricing himself out kool aid. Maybe you should listen to Hearn when he is talking sense and not just when he is bloviating. When Hearn offers 35%+ the fight will get made.

YOu do realize his last offer was a guaranteed two fight deal with minimum of 35% or $20 mil (whichever turned out higher) ? This was quite public knowledge. Wilders team didn’t even respond.

Google missed that one. Hearn did say he offered a %. What that was....hmmm anybody's guess. Quite public knowledge yet not found via google search....sounds fishy. Are you fibbing?

Go do a little bit of research, it won’t take much to find it. Was talked about on this forum for one.

Simply idiot's

Last time I checked 325000 x74.99 is close to 25,000'000 not included the gate and only US PPV..so with the UK PPV and gate you're possible looking at close to 70,000'000 but hey that horrible according to Hearn... ????🤔 but I forgot people aren't the brightest across the pond...

It's a pretty bad number for an American heavyweight who has been knocking dudes out.

The rematch will do big numbers though.

There is really is no doubt, that haymon has done a god aweful job buikdong any of his fighters into actual stars.

If wilder was top rank he would be doing 800k ppv sales a fight years ago.

PPV generated about $25M how much would the rematch generate you think? I won't be shocked if a Vegas rematch generates over $100M with the amount of buzz this fight been getting

No UK Fight would come close to making even half that full stop
