Comments Thread For: Arum: Wilder-Fury 2 Should Gross 2 Million PPV Buys, $100M

[QballLobo]

Is that what the fight needs to sell to be profitable?

Not with Wilder's poor PPV numbers, unless they of course are counting on Fury to sell the fight. Wilder can't sell a fight to save his life, if he isn't stating the obvious he is embarrassing himself. Fury gonna talk and then box circles around him all over again. Hope he doesn't get screwed this time.

Haymon and Arum now have a business alliance. These two once hated rivals both desperately need each other because Joshua has a monopoly on Heavyweight division and heavyweight money. Haymon and Arum have an alliance now to go to war with Hearn and DAZN which is putting them out of business by killing their business. Canelo and Joshua are why DAZN is dominating boxing now.

Haymon and Arum are desperate and have joined forces. Unfortunately Wilder vs Fury 2 will be another inside job business alliance fix where both of their values are maintained, so each can keep their leverage for the Joshua $100m plus jackpot. It will be another fake draw.

Your best move is to boycott this fraud Wilder vs Fury rematch and keep them down as low draws, which would force each to be sacrificed to Joshua.

This is the most absurd post I have ever seen on this website, and that is saying quite a bit, more and more, you see less boxing fans, and more primal immature name calling.

Haymon does not need Arum at all, check out his roster, the reason Crawford is freaking out, is because Haymon has his cojones in a vice, he is controlling his career by freezing him out, that's just one example, PBC is the dominant force in boxing, Top Rank is a loser for ESPN, Arum is being forced to come to the table, he has no depth, and his fights don't move the needle.

Well the first fight was good and right now they're the two best HW's in the world. Just hope they not gonna rob Fury again. I rather pay a bit more to see these two go at each other than pay less for a fight like we've seen the other day, where a guy runs from a short fat guy, that was a joke.

100%

I was one of those that payed the full price for the fight and was disappointed in Ruiz's professionalism eg reminded me of someone you see that has been on the couch watching tv for a month and doing little exercise

They said that it was gonna do 2mill buys the first time and it barely broke 300k buys.

It will barely break 500k buys in the rematch unless they lower the price.

You've got to be crazy to spend $100 on one fight when the value is equal to that of 12 months of DAZN.

Also, people are going to be less willing to see the rematch because of the officials being perceived to have robbed Fury last time. Nobody wants to waste their cash on a fixed fight.

Then Bob and the PBC is going to have to go out on put on a full court press and promote the Hell out of this fight. It's because the fight won't sell itself.

They need to go to every media and social media outlet known to man to create a stir and awareness for this fight. The fighters cannot do it alone like they did the last time.

I know that Bob Arum would keep up his end of the bargain by making himself accessible to the press but the question still looms will Al Haymon keep up his end of the bargain by doing the same?

I'll stream it, as usual. Haven't paid for a ppv in years

I'll be flying to Las Vegas to watch this in person to offset your poor person problems. I just wish they'd officially announce it already so I can buy plane tickets knowing they aren't going to move to Saudi Arabia at the last minute or something ******.

$100 PPV FOH with that crap man. I will be watching with friends but this fight isn’t worth that amount. I streamed wilder-Ortiz and it was crystal clear HD and I didn’t have to hear the FOX commentary which helped, I can understand why fans just stream in this day of age.

Most likely undercard would be trash, you would assum they can do a PBC-Top Rank competition angle but they won’t

[Curt Henning]

I love the narrative by this monzon alt fgt that haymon and arum are teaming up

yet yesterday AJ was begging fury to let him spar him to help him for wilder...lol

[EL_GRINGO]

i see it doing 500000-700000
