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

[Clubber Pac]

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.

So essentially only two of the biggest fights off all time surpass what Joshua and fury could be making on a regular basis in the home of boxing?

Nah, there's a lot of fights that surpass the $12 million US, that Joshua generated in his Wembley fight! Here's a list of 10 of them:

Keep in mind, Joshua had 90,000 tickets, and still sold less than the No. 10 spot on the list, which is Tyson vs. McNeeley at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas in 1995! What's $13,965,600 in today's dollars?

4,000 tickets is honestly not good at all.

Bob Arum thinks Fury-Wilder 2 would break Floyd and Pacquaio's record? I'd be suprised if it did 1 million.

Anyone know the gate for AJ/Ruiz?

Would be interesting to see how close they got to Canelo/Jacobs.

[Buggy bear]

I don't believe Arum could have been that ****** to pay $12.5 m to fury for that , he's way to clever to part with that kinda money for two foreigners without a title in vegas , This multi million dollar contract must be linked to performance and revenue but being economical with the truth sounds far better when announcing the max potential earnings to the public as the actual figure .

Those fights made over hundreds of millions of dollars he just gave you live gate numbers that Joshua/fury doesn’t do in u.k..... you yourself said a 70k Wembley fight only generated 12.5 million USA dollars so you answered your own question why brits are trying tap in the United States market

[MMA >>> BOXING]

dont let this distract u from the fact that wilder fight was a flop too
i think only 6000 real tickets sold and thats terrible for a american champion in his backyard
fury should fight a good opponent next otherwise top rank is going to keep losing money

[BeLikeWater]

well I don't know about that since arum is the one who made Oscar a star, Floyd, Cotto and others. Oscar has really only made 1 star. Fury won't ever be a megastar though.

Every one of those fighters left Bob. Ouch.

cant wait til wilder fury 2, it will be live

So have any off the current heavies made more than the 20- 25 mill made to fight at Wembley so far? Since everyone is making this money state side?
