Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder and Fury Don't Want Joshua - Now Fans Know!

So again... where exactly have you pulled these figures of the fights being worth close to $200 million from?

You are literally making up a value for the fight based off of nothing. Whereas I can guarantee DAZN had a team of experts look extensively at everything to work out just how much it is viable to pay for the fight to be a success for them.

You're insanely ******. Do you know how many PPV they would need to sell to make those numbers? They would need to sell over 2.5 mil PPV to make $100 mil in purses to split.

At $75, a $100 million fight would only need to sell 1.3 million PPV. But this would be for an undisputed fight so the price tag would be closer to $100, so 1 million PPV. Then the rematch would generate more buzz, and a higher price tag. Math...

The cable provider takes half the PPV money. You haven't a clue what you're talking about.

So Hearns lied once again about AJ being not signed to DAZN and can fight on Showtime! Lmao

Damn you could literally make a thesis about these guys lies!

This is the same senile senior citizen that said AJ shouldn’t fight Wilder cuz it’s too
Much of a risk and that they s can fight bums for the same amount of Money collectively! Lol

Go back to your tea, crumpets and darts old man, 2019 has left you!

Old fart Finkels is even older Eddie's dad.

Let's not pretend that PBC fighters don't get substantially more than their listed purse, and are substantially compensated for their fights on Showtime and Showtime PPV. Their guarantees and bonuses cover any monies taken from the cable providers.

Like the Mayweather, Pacquiao and McGregor guarantees. Like the $50 million guarantee against 50% Sky offer for Joshua. Obviously, the $100 million DAZN deal for 3 fights was considered too low and was totally unnecessary. An offer would only be needed for one fight after the WBC mandatory. And that one fight on DAZN would have to be better than a fight on Showtime PPV. Like Fury, it's very possible that Joshua won't want anything to do with Wilder after the first fight so a rematch may not even be needed.

You just got exposed as a clueless idiot. Now you want to use some mythical PBC money nobody knows about as an excuse. Clown.
