Comments Thread For: Wilder-Ortiz II Announcement Imminent; 11/23 In Las Vegas

Wilder is making 20+ million per fight??!??? Man, whatever you are on, stop immediately. Wilder has no sponsors and he fights in front of about 5k fans at his fights. If they were ****** enough to give him 20+ million, then yeah, AJ would be making 100 million per fight because he sells out soccer stadiums. You wilder fans are literally the worst and the dumbest

PBC, Espinoza, Wilder were all very clear: they had to match the outside offers in order to keep him away from DAZN and ESPN. You actually think Wilder would take $5M from PBC when he was being offered $20-30M from DAZN and ESPN? Hearn really has you brainwashed.

You AJ/Hearn boosters are ridiculous. Wilder sells 10-13,000 per fight in L.A. and NYC, which puts him in the top five boxing ticket sellers in the U.S. Selling out a soccer stadium at 35 pounds average ticket price is great, but let's not pretend that's real money. Neither is 11-12 pounds per PPV buy.

God you are ******, but I will attempt to educate you a bit. Half of the tickets to Wilder vs Fury were given away to make it seem like a sellout, which it wasn't. The 325k PPV view buys were never confirmed by Showtime because it wasn't a true number. Wilder has been "champ" for years now and he has NEVER sold out a stadium, arena or even a college gym hahaha. He has liuttle to no sponsors so he doesn't get a penny more past his half sold fights. He is a joke but idiots like yourself think he's God hahahaha. You ****ing idiot, wake up

Idiot? Do you not have Google? Per the California athletic commission, there were almost 14,000 tickets sold for Wilder-Fury with just 600 comps. How is that giving away half the tickets?

And you reject Wilder's 325K PPV buys because it wasn't confirmed by Showtime, but you'll accept AJ's attendance and PPV figures when neither Wembley nor Cardiff nor the BBBoC nor Sky Sports ever validated those numbers? If Wilder's PPV sales numbers aren't believable because the network didn't confirm them, then neither are AJ's, since Sky never confirms those either. And the only one who ever talks about AJ's earnings is Hearn, who lies so often he can't even keep track of himself, so that's not a confirmed source either.

None of that changes my original point: if you think that Wilder turned down $20-30M and took $3-5M per fight instead, then you're even dumber than your post reads.
