Comments Thread For: Hearn: Deontay Wilder Not a PPV Star; Talks With His Team Better

[filup79]

Most the money is in US?? C’mon you don’t believe that.. Not in the heavyweight division!

The fight did over 300,000 buys generating over $20 mil.. AJ himself earns that alone! So if the money is in the US why is the UK fighter earning more than both Fury and Wilder made combined?

Lets switch the opponents.. If Wilder fought Povetkin, Parker, Takam or guys like Brezeale, would that also be on PPV and do 300,000k?

We both know if AJ fought Otriz that would be a successful PPV in the UK and AJ would have made 20+ mil.

Fury made 10mil against Wilder.. if Fury fought AJ in the UK that would break all PPV records and both guys would have earned more than 20mil each so how is mosy the money in the US???!!

If Wilder fought Povetkin, Parker or Takam in the UK I'm pretty sure they would be PPV. If AJ fought any of those guys in the US, no way they're on PPV. For god sakes, Brook/Gavin was on PPV in the UK. The UK standard for fighting on PPV doesn't say much.

This guy loves publicly insulting the people he claims to be
trying to negotiate with. It's amazing that he is taken so
seriously and respected as a promoter.
I lost respect for him as soon as he started saying "Shelly Winkle".
He's like an arrogant, obnoxious schoolboy.

Old Eddie is not fast at all in fact he dropped the baton and knows it. Hearn wants to keep the in house fights rolling , nothing more but since a real 50/50 fight took place between two warriors he's struggling to sell his in house and trying to make the excuse that Joshua is now 'begging' to unify on April 13th at Wembley. What a pair of muppets , two fights with Wilder would have pocketed him $80m MINIMUM! but Joshua and the Hearn's didn't want to unify then(a few weeks ago) but after the Wilder v Fury they say they are 'begging'..... !

They are not interested unless , has they've put forward in the past they get 85% of the massive pot that Wilders name helps to bring (mandatory challengers get 25%. Hearn has already said this fight makes over $100!) .

If I were Wilder I would continue to build his own brand in America and crack that enormous market where no one' knows Joshua .Joshua should get on a plane and try and get himself known there too, even if it means fighting a very limited in house Hearn fighter in over weight Miller. Hearn should stop making a fool of himself by telling people that fights like Wilder v Fury won't happen and cancel his own April 13th show as no one's buying Joshua's weak named opposition or two spent fighters in Titanium man Brook v Glass jaw Khan at Wembley Stadium top of the bill.......LOL!

and then tell everyone how AJ makes tons of money from other countries including ppv there .. oh you were tring to make Wilder look good. By the way even using a 3:1 ratio on price Klitschko AJ still outsol Wilder Fury by a mile.

Ok Hearn, now tell everyone how British ppv is $25 a pop and American is $75, don't just talk about how many ppv units. Fast Eddie and his silver tongue..

[BeLikeWater]

knockdowns dont equate to winning a fight...8/10 rounds and no more

Neither does blocking punches and feinting. Effective aggression anyone?

[BeLikeWater]

Don't come back here to tell us boxing is a niche sport in the state after over pricing the ppv.
You can't eat your cake and have it.

You also can't say your a great seller when you sell your dollar menu items at 25 cents.. you're a cheap thrill at best!

Klitchsko is definitely an atg.. also I'm pretty sure ppv numbers are international bozo..Joshua is busy fighting his b level lackies for pennies on the dollar... Sorry Wilder is making more without Joshua don't be butt hurt about it.

Absolutely no one is going to respect Joshua and his b level sidekick beat downs. Wilder and fury are gonna keep this roller coaster going no doubt.

Fa$t £ddie's greed is without doubt ridiculous. If the Wilder fight can't be made with a 50% split at Wembley in April, then forget it for now & send AJ to MSG to take on Miller/Ortez, while Wilder/Fury II takes place in the UK. Then the best option is for the 2 winners to take on each other in a 50% contest on neutral ground later in the year. "Greed is killing our sport & the sport should be bigger then the promoter's"!!...

Then why didn't Wilder give Fury 50%?
Without Fury, Wilder would still be fighting on undercards.

Then why wasn't Wilder vs Ortiz a PPV? Unless you're saying Ortiz is nobody compared to Povetkin, Parker or Takam. Which is it?
