Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury PPV To Have 3 Fights: PBC, Top Rank Each Get Bout

[Shadoww702]

Carl Frampton fractured both of his hands in his last fight. So he won't be involved.

And I seriously doubt that they are going to match Shakur Stevenson against Oscar Valdez or Conlan.

So it's likely going to be a one-sided showcase fight featuring one of Top Rank's guys.

Which is fine if they lower the cost of the PPV. But if it's $75 then forget it...I'm out.

I believe it's $60 with ESPN+

Loma vs Teo would be a nice undercard but it's not going to happen. Bob would be lucky to get 500K

[kej718]

I was hoping for a Kownacki vs Pulev fight or Inoue vs Nery.

On the Top Rank side any of these guys would be cool to showcase on PPV
Artur Beterbiev
Shakur Stevenson
Naoya Inoue
Jose Ramirez

For the PBC
David Benavidez
Adam Kownacki
Luis Nery
Keith Thurman

Idk how the one less fight is arums fault but whatever.
Well fury fought on espn, was on wwe (which gets millions of views) and is going to be at a college football game. Thats promotion. Whereas wilder.......refused to fight whyte and rematched a fat 50 year old with high blood pressure on a ppv that bombed. Lmao good job haymon

Fury fought on ESPN+ twice, fought on the Saudi Arabia show that WWE openly refused to earnestly promote (for obvious reasons), and made an appearance on College Football Gameday (have no idea how that went, but it's not like it was at halftime of LSU-Oklahoma)

Lol

Yea. Conlan looks like an interesting fighter but he still needs more development. Shakur is very far ahead of him. I don't think they'd waste him versus Valdez as a co-main event.

If I were them I would put Kownacki on the undercard in case someone in the main event gets hurt. He won't beat either guy but the fight would probably be more entertaining.

-ESPN is now presenting the fight, fans are seeing one less fight on the PPV show due to "parity", and the split is still 50/50.

For a fight that was stalled out for an extra year, which Arum did Jack **** to actually make a bigger fight lol.

Lol

Why even bother replying if you have nothing of value to say?
You didnt answer how the one less fight on the card is arums fault.
Lol all of that exposure is still better than wilders bs ppv. Lmao throughout the build up for ortiz-wilder, wilder couldn't stop talking about aj and fury overlooking his bum opponent

[Scipio2009]

this is not surprising because ESPN and FOX are both owned by DISNEY. It was only a matter of time before the Disney CEO (Robert Iger) pulled Uncle Al and the Bobfather in a room and told them to work it out or else. If FOX, ESPN and Showtime start to function as one organization that makes all fights possible, it's over for anyone else. And god forbid Dana White brings in ZUFFA boxing with all their money to work with them. Its ov DA-ZASTER!

That's not how it works, lol

Even representation on the show; main event is Wilder-Fury 2, Top Rank gets a fight, Haymon gets a fight, and the customary 4th fight is scrapped because Arum likely didn't have a crossover matchup that he was ready to put on the undercard.

Deontay Wilder did over $4m in tickets sales in his basically debut headline card in Las Vegas.

Tyson Fury may have done $1.5m for his own two Las Vegas dates.

The information that's public is tough to spin

The keyword is "likely" your just spewing nonsense and lies.
