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

[that g]

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

Lol that’s it?

HAHA the depths you guys will go to just to smear Hearn and make yourselves feel better...

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't the WBC make Fury the "designated challenger" and order the fight.

Smear? What are you talking about? I just gave my opinion on why I feel it would be risky for Hearn to bid.

How often do you see third party promoters bid on main even level fights? There is a reason why it doesn't happen.

That's because big fights don't go to purse bid. The champions usually gives the challenger more to prevent it.

That's because Wilder had all the leverage, they had to cater to him, Fury was a voluntary. Now it's a mandatory. Fury said he wanted the rematch in the UK, now he has the leverage to work with it.

The infamous American bank robber Willie Sutton was asked, "Why do you rob banks?" His reply, "Because that's where the money is at!" Fighters come to the U.S., especially Las Vegas, because "That's where the money is!" Fury wants the money more than he wants the fight in the UK. He could have more fans in the UK, but 15K people in Las Vegas brings in more money than 60K at Wembley!

****** ****** ******. They got more than 15k for the first fight how much money the bring in ******?

There's something called ticket prices. Go look it up.

Don’t get me wrong I really wanna see the rematch... but wbc ordering a purse bid is an absolutely joke.... does that make fury the mandatory, did he jump to the fro t of the line? Really feel sorry for Whyte and breazeale in that situation, surely they have waited long enough

[NahMean]

This is the wbc offer for a purse bid not Haymons offer. If Joshua were to fight Wilder just for the WBC title he’d receive the same thing smh. Are you new to boxing?

1. The split in a purse bid for a ordered fight is and always has been 70/30 in favour of Champ.

2. Fury is not Mandatory, Breazeale is.. yet this fight got ordered?!

3. Where in my post did I say this was an offer from Haymon???!!

4. Why would Team Wilder offer a higher percentage when they can just let it go to purse bid for 60/40 (Warren isn’t winning ish he’s on brink of bankruptcy)

5. My comment is in response to Warren saying Fury will only take fights at 50/50.. Maybe WBC should have looked this up before offering 60/40!

6. Fury only takes 50/50 offers but didn’t get that in the first Wilder fight and wont in this fight!!

There's something called ticket prices. Go look it up.

The ticket prices are going to be very high in Las Vegas! The last fight was in California! You guys have lots of fans, smaller revenue! We have smaller attendance, much more revenue! Ask Conor McGregor! He'll tell you!

Not always. Ward-Kovalev brought in revenue of 3 mil in Vegas.

You can't compare mega draw like Mayweather, Pacquiao or ODLH to Wilder.
