How much did Wilder and Fury make for their fight including PPV cut?

[_Rexy_]

I have no idea but I would like to know myself. If Wilder can make more money fighting AJ in England than he can rematching Fury then why not do that unless he doesn't think he will win. If he beats AJ he can rematch Fury later.

Wilder/Fury makes way more than Wilder/AJ right now.

It was BS. They'd make a big song and dance about it and get the good publicity if he actually did it.

I doubt he would actually do that. I have no doubt that he could give some of it to charity doe. On the subject of earnings looking at the guarantees of each fighter, PPV cut, ticket and sponsorship I doubt anyone of them would make anything more than 7/8m dollars.

Thanks, damn that's a shame if Fury was just saying it for the cameras, haven't heard anything about it since the fight though, so I guess that may actually be the case

No, they would have cleared that if both got a 50/50 split.

US buys 325,000*75=24,375,000/2 = 12,187,500

Live gate $3.5-4 million

UK buys ~400,000*25.5 = 10,200,000/2 = 5,100,000

I estimated on the UK buys, but that is probably about right. If even less than that, I didn't take into consideration the international revenue and sponsorship money. Now, SHO/BT Sports will get their split as well as paying the UC fighters, but both guys should have cleared $10 million.

Now, I would love for someone to be able to give us the UK numbers. No clue why no journalist out there has done the research to find out.

There is no way they would clear 10m dollars from your numbers here. What percentage does the network get? The distributors? From what I heard American networks take between 45 to 55% distributors, networks 10%. I could be wrong doe.

So networks get 10% of the share after cable distributors get their amount. So of the 12,187,500, they would get 10% of that.

Cable distributors take 50% tops, sometimes less. UFC negotiated a deal where they will be getting 60-70% of the revenue on certain PPVs. No clue what the split here was, but let's be in the safe side and say it was the typical 50%. Then SHO takes 10% of the remaining revenue.

So yes, even with my numbers they would have cleared 10 million each. Remember, I didn't even include the sponsorship money or international revenue which could have totaled what, 4-5 million in total?

^^^ He's not joking either, he genuinely believes it. This is the level of ******ity i deal with everyday from Wilder fans.

It could if Wilder/Fury does close to a million buys. But we don't even know what the US network situation would look like. Will there be a SHO afternoon PPV or will DAZN just give a license fee for the fight?

I also expect the live gate this time in Vegas to be close to 10 million for the rematch which will be fairly close to Wilder/AJ gate at Wembley.

Definitely a pathway for Wilder/Fury to generation more money than Wilder/AJ but too many questions to answer. What if it is on DAZN (doubtful) and they throw a $15 million license fee? Or if it is on SHO PPV and it still does around 300k buys?

If Wilder wins and it does close to a million buys? He will be able to go back and ask for 50/50 split. Or at least much better to whatever he can ask for now.

But you're forgetting th promoters cut, ads, press tours etc. They aren't free.

But you're forgetting th promoters cut, ads, press tours etc. They aren't free.

So that part comes from the fighters purses. Doesn't mean they won't make 10 million. From that 10 million obviously after taxes and the manager/promoter cuts they won't end up with that, but the definitely ended up getting more than 7-8 million.

Mayweather supposedly made close to 300M against Pacquiao, but he sure didn't walk away with 300M after all the deductions.

Edit: I'm referring to promoter/advisor cuts here.

SHO was responsible for the ads stateside. That comes from them not the fighters. All the promotion/marketing they do, obviously they hope they are able to cover it from what they make from the fight. And if they can't cover all the expenses from what they make, the money comes from their boxing budget.

Wilder was guaranteed $4 mil and Fury $3 mil.
The total amount each of them gets doesn't usually double the guaranteed purse.
So each one got less than $8 mil.
We've gone through this discussion before and even the WBC WBA IBF poster concurs.
