Fury was robbed against Wilder.

This is pretty damn sad.

Arum says he can do May/Pac numbers tho hahahahahahahaha

[Mr. 29K]

I love it. Fury is a bum and deserves to fail.

[DaNeutral.]

Thats even worse than Wilder v Breazeale and that one stunk real bad. Is Boxing dead in America or what? Sounds like from this latest round of Heavyweight fights it was the Anthony Joshua one that did the best numbers in America, and in the UK, and around the world.

Not bad numbers considering. It'll be much higher when people tune in to watch Fury destroy Wilder.

Yikes. all that spin from Bob arum about how fury is some super star a combination of Muhammad Ali and George Foreman and they couldn't even generate 900K at the box office. And they paid him $12.5M for that shytty azzz fight SMH

He said he'll turn him into a superstar. Fury is an investment, and a very sound one at that.

Don't forget that Tyson is the real deal, he's not a unskilled bum like Wilder or a bulked up weightlifter like AJ. He'll smash America in due time.

DAMMMMNNNN It sure blew the UFC card out of the water lol, And 800K for the gate? Just add Wilder and it breaks the May/Pac record right Bob Arum?

When you launch a new product in the market, you bear the loss in the first yr or two. But if it gets popular, you more than makeup for it. Sportsmen and broadcasting are no different.

The only bad investment is when you invest in the guy but he/she fails. But even then, as an investor and they'll tell you only one investment out of a dozen or more have to work to make it a profitable business.

Good point. I also wondered that. I don't care about the business side at all, but how do you make 1 million gate and be able to pay Fury 12 million?

I'm not math smart. I still don't get where the purses and profits will come from.

Not surprising. It was a complete bs fight.

I mean ffs this ain't a complicated thing to promote boxing at some level. And putting a UK guy without a bunch of belts in with a German guy even hardcore boxing fans don't know at among the hyped of boxing venues in the world that happens to be in neither fighters country is about f#cking r3tarded.

What Eff Pandas said there is true ... but Arum isn't retarded!

He knows that Fury isn't just a a very talented boxer, he's a natural and charismatic performer too. Give him a stage, and a crowd, and he'll give you a show.

An investment is the right way to look at Fury/Schwartz.

I'm sure Arum knew that the event itself was going to cost him money. But after the event, footage of Fury's ring walk, and him slipping salvos of punches on the ropes without getting touched, went viral on the internet and got a lot attention in the mainstream media.

That's going to pay dividends going forward. I'm expecting Fury's next fight in the US to be against a live opponent and that it will sell very well indeed.

Bob Arum knows exactly what he's doing and knows how to make money. I'm sure all the businessmen on here know better than him though..........
