What they do in Vegas is extortion. It's not a way to promote sport but enriching few people involved. The best way to run sport is the UK scheme.He could make a lot more with ticket sales in USA though, if he could be a real star there. Those Vegas fights are no joke..
GGG v Canelo did over double AJ's biggest gate receipt, with 4x less capacity.
Also, i believe AJ has only ever done 1.5m PPV's once (apparently:see below). He generally gets around 800k (apparently), still a very good number, but basically half of what you are claiming as a general number.
Sky don't release their figures but there's a good chance they might be exaggerated. BARB.co.uk that collect data on viewers generally show that the amount of buys for these fights are not as high as made out to be. Sky don't release official figures, so can suggest what they want.
Hearn uses BARB and has linked it before to show the amount of buys, but actually BARB estimates viewers, not buys. So Hearn's numbers are not true. If he says 1m bought it, that is inaccurate. The estimated viewers means more than 1 person watching per buy.
If Hearn is really using BARB's estimated viewers as buys, which he does, then you could probably cut the viewers number in half and get a more accurate number in terms of buys.Comment

We are both saying the same thing.
There is no way you will continue fighting after 1/2/3/4 combos from the unified champ.
You will definitely be unconscious.Comment

Care to give me these "Crazy international PPV numbers"?Easily does the most UK PPV buys in history and some good international buys as well, both men make over 30 mill in that fight!
Problem is AJ doesn’t tell Hearn to boss up or make him put his foot down and Hearns is happy that AJ is a meat headed robot who’ll listen to him only and is careful with his golden goose!
Fury wants 50-50 and AJ doesn’t even know or care to know what a lineal title is!
Wilder vs Fury international PPV buys did crazy numbers and still won’t give Wilder a percentage but still giving a flat fee! LolComment

You mean that title that belongs to Tyson Fury and got nabbed up by a paper champ in Joseph Parker who needed a home cooked decision to beat the tubby tubster Andy Ruiz!?
That title?
Oh you mean them mandatory defenses whereComment

So what if it used to belong to fury. He got stripped for breaking the rules were they supposed to burn the title as well?
If you want to sit here and act like unifying the division is nothing then whatever but you know that’s not the case.Comment

You Pratt, you still slurping on the Fury’s Johnson right? Keep up slurping phaggot while the whole world moves on!Hold your tongue pal before it somehow travels to AJ’s trousers at the rate your going praising AJ for doing nothing since the Klitschko win!
AJ is as stiff as a corpse and is slower than a walking dead zombie!
Fury is a Ferrari and AJ is a Subaru in terms of speed!
He got caught against Wilder cuz Wilder has speed and is unorthodox with his shots!
AJ is purely textbook, I can see the Hearns Robot getting his ears boxed off and the judges giving it to AJ even if it’s a 12-0 shut out!
Remember, AJ relies on the jab and needs to be square to fire off and Fury can dance circles around him and smack him up good an proper with triple jabs and 3 piece combinations!
Hopefully you don’t bet on that fight if it were to ever happen as you’ll be the fool who parted faster with his money than his common sense!
Good day chap!Comment

I'd like to see how many people show up at Wembley to watch Fury fight Takam. Warren the most bitter man in boxing, I honestly feel sorry for him, he seems miserable all the time
