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

[Noelanthony]

No doubt. I'm a fan of Hearn & think he's the best promoter in the game right now, but he's losing points left & right with some of the dumb games he's playing & some of the dumb things he's saying.

I want the old Eddie back who wasn't overly consumed with all this Joshua Project bs.

Couldn’t agree more. He does need to shut up. Just for 3 weeks. Even his haters may miss him

I told folks this in here and someone said that Wilder made 14 million. That was dependent on PPV buys, which was not much and I broke that down for the people.

Unless there was another deal made that I'm not aware of, Wilder pocketed under 10 million for this fight.

Well he knew 15 million was crack head money so it was only sensible that he took under 10.

Mate, I don't want to offend or insult you but obviously you heard but didn't understand me. I was referring to the pending Wilder/Fury rematch on April 13, 2019. On the very same date as Joshua is scheduled to challenge one of his recycled leftovers

so they are both fighting rematches?

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 know Hearn has offered a 20 mill guarantee or a 35% cut of the money, which ever he thinks is more, don't you?

One word: Brexit.

****** f**king limeys.

How is voting for Brexit, dumb? We want to control our borders, set our own laws, and be able to make deals with the rest of the world. We can't do any of that by being tied to the EU.

But it is ironic considering Trump was voted in because they wanted him to do the same for the US. Haha. That's how ****ing dumb you people are. You didn't even see the irony. Thanks for proving my point. ******.

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.

I'm not the one who was saying Fury/Wilder was the biggest fight of the year. Americans were. They were trying to **** on Joshua by making such idiotic comments. But you know what they're like. They're desperately trying to smear AJ at every turn and talking complete bollocks. Don't try and tell me you haven't seen any of it because this place is filled with such garbage. So don't try and play ignorant with me.

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.

Exposed as having no skill and for being a hypejob. He couldn't even beat a 50% version of Fury who has just lost a load of weight after being obese and looking like **** against 2 handpicked bums. But it seems you don't have to have much substance to do well against Wilder. Bums have won handfuls of rounds against him.

Wilder has got his name out there more due to the Fury fight, but the vast majority of it is negative. Wilder isn't helping his cause with all the ridiculous excuses he's coming out with. But it is giving everyone a good laugh. He can't deal with it.

Wilder isn't going to make big money outside of Whyte and Joshua once the Fury fights are done with.

You think Wilder can fight the likes of Brezeale on PPV? Hahahahahahahaha. What, for 75 dollars? Well, you people are that thick. Good luck on that one.

Wilder, a megastar? Oh dear. This is the level of bollocks i'm talking about with you lot. He'll never be a megastar. It's absolute delusion to think he ever could be.

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?

Spence and Crawford aren't stars because they fight bums all the time. Canelo, Pac and Cotto had many big fights for them to sell to fans. What have Spence and Crawford got?

[Sid-Knee]

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...

The gate did about 5 Mill along with the 25 Mill it made on PPV. So that's 30 Mill. But you think the other 40 Mill came from British PPV?

What were you saying about the brightest?

[Sid-Knee]

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

So over a Million is going to buy the rematch? Yeah, good luck with that one. You're going to need it.
