Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury Rematch: Purse Bid Set For February 5, 60-40 Split

[Azzie]

First fight was 60/40 split in Wilder's favour so the second fight will also be 60/40 in Wilder's favour and in America.
I wonder if Eddie Hearn will buy this fight for DZAN if it goes to the purse bid.

[that g]

It would require both wilder and Fury to "promote" the fight even though their purses are set in stone/guaranteed. The two fighters wod have no incentive to help make Hearn money unless they both had promotional side deals.

Both Dibella and Warren would come in with bids based on the numbers they did from the first fight. Hearn doesn't have those numbers. He could throw a conservative low bid in, but would assuredly get outbid by both other promoters.

Actually that makes it risk free then for him. If he loses, no harm no foul. Not his fighters anyway. If Hearn was trying to get it on dazn, I’m pretty sure he would have all the info he needs to outbid the others. Unless the bidding process is rigged.

If they get on dazn, they would be obligated to do promos. They can’t get out of that.it is a contract, and the would get less money if they no show.

The splits were 3m for fury, 4m for wilder. How’s that 50-50?

That's the guaranteed purse split. PPV/Revenue split was 50/50, two different things. There has been nothing reported to dispute that.

Warren claimed that a "50-50" purse split was agreed between the fighters after "quick and smooth negotiations."

Frank Warren confirmed to the BBC that the ‘smooth and quick negotiations’ led to a ’50-50′ purse split between Fury and Wilder.

Probably has something to do with Fury being emeritus.

Fury has never held the WBC title, so he can't be their emeritus champion.

When, right in the article the WBC admits there's no real reason for them to be doing this. Seems like they just wanted their name in the press to me.

Those are the guarantees. They split the purse revenue 50-50.

Obligated to show...not obligated to say and do things that attract fans to the fight. Thus the risk.

maybe it has something to do with the fact that their champion just escaped with a lucky draw?

many punters insist that Fury won

Fury did win lol

I remember when the ABC stripped Hopoate for losing to Colin Wilson in a non-title fight
