Comments Thread For: Fury's Vegas Debut Generates $882K From 5,489 Tickets Sold

Wow this is horrible.

Roughly 4,000 tickets sold?

Less than a million dollar gate?

That's insane, that's really bad, Fury is better off fighting in the UK, even though the tickets and the PPV's there are actually much cheaper, which is why they can fill stadiums, but not generate Vegas or American PPV gates.

Fury is the B side of any fight of any fight with Wilder now, he might have a witty mouth, but he does not put butts in seats, these numbers will be thrown back in his face at the negotiating table if he does not do something, quickly.

Big Baby Miller in October is a must, as screwed up as it seems, Fury will need better receipts than this to justify 45% with Wilder or Joshua.

This should show top rank that giving Fury a truckload of bums will actually hurt him in the long run financially, this is a putrid return given all the hoopla and "he is the new George Foreman" .

The older, and more affable Foreman, put butts in seats, check the tape.

Roughly 4,000 tickets when it clearly states that it did well over 5,000?

Wilder sells poor as well. Wilder needs Fury as it's the only time he's been on PPV. All Fury has to do is fight someone better and more known. And since he won the first fight, Fury really should be getting 60% of the money. Wilder is just a chump who should be thankful of getting any kind of money considering what a joke he is with the most pathetic resume in all of boxing.

If AJ is shlt, what is Fury after getting dominated by John McDermott? At least Ruiz was a fringe level guy when he fought AJ. McDermott was always utter crap.

The McDermott fight happened a decade ago when Fury was a rookie kid. He's a completely different fighter now.

Joshua was a unified champion and apparently the best fighter in the division.

Typical farcical response from Sid Knee. Your mum has never told you that you were dropped on your head as a baby. Ask here about it? At this point she will probably reveal all the gory details!

Break it down on why it's farcical?

You can't can you? You know it's the truth.

Funny that a dribbler who I clown every time thinks I was the one dropped on his head as a baby. Haha. And you're 55 which makes it even funnier. You've reached maximum intelligence. Haha.

How about Regis Prograis? Taylor is a U.K fighter that shows heart and balls. Unlike A.J the robot fraud!

So just the one name? Embarrassing.

And who was a top fighter that he fought anyway? A smaller fighter in Flannagan who was coming off a loss, or Relikh who lost to a shot Ricky Burns?

As I say, your guys fight garbage nearly every time. Yet you still buy tickets or watch at home.

Fury had been boxing a lot longer than AJ has at the time. So who's the rookie here?

Bottom line is the big 4 all need each other. Hearn needs to step out of the picture

Nope, De La Hoya allowed Floyd to fight him on the condition that Floyd would be a Goldenboy fighter. It was the old WCW model. Floyd, the bad guy, Ric Flair, was a Goldenboy employee who would fight the good guys, Mexican and Mexican American stars, in Goldenboys stable every Mexican holiday. Floyd just had to show up. Goldenboy would create his opposition. Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero, and Marcos Maidan were never world class and Canelo was too green back then. Goldenboy made Floyd and the entire PBC roster. Al Haymon, PBC, and Floyd owe their success to Oscar De La Hoya. Oscar De La Hoya is their daddy...! #FACTS

damn new guy, you have your facts completely screwed up. Floyd punked Oscar. He beat him, then retired when Oscar was training for a rematch, came back and ran through Oscar's entire roster. He used golden boy (with the help of Schaeffer) to make big money fights since the fight with pac wasn't working out. Then once golden boy had no other options, Floyd dropped them and made the biggest fight in boxing history financially without them and Oscar didn't get a penny from that match. The truth is, Oscar is as dumb as he sounds and Floyd played him like a sucker.

So two fights where it made money means there's money across the board? I don't think so.

3 fighters weren't even American. And the one that was got by on the Mexican fanbase. That's why Floyd fought so many. No one else cared about him otherwise.

See Post #82. I already went over this! Canelo vs. GGG is 2 non-Americans, but it sold BIG! Fury vs. Schwarz is 2 non-Americans, and it flopped! Why? Because it was trash!

They cared about Mayweather vs. Pacquiao didn't they? They cared about Mayweather vs. McGregor didn't they? No Mexicans, still it sold BIG! If you give the people quality, there's no place like the USA!

When Tyson vs. McNeely has a better live gate than Joshua vs. Klitschko, with only 20% of the people in attendance, that speaks volumes!

Except Floyd ended up broke in debt for millions to the irs and bookies,squandering half a billion like tyson. Floyd the type of guy who has to choose between keeping up an image and hanging himself cause he's so pathetically insecure.
