Top Rank chief Bob Arum has shared his thoughts on the upcoming mega-fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder once again standing firm that he expects it to get over two million pay-per-view buys.

That's wierd cause I read just last week that their wouldn't be any media work for these guys to do.
Am I just trippin?

This is the biggest fight that boxing can produce right now. I Can't wait! Wilder will knock out Fury again, but this time Jack Reiss will not there to save him.

So far, Arum has overestimated the commercial appeal of Fury. He keeps telling us he is the closest thing to Ali, but the fights since he signed with ESPN+ haven't borne that out. That said, they were pretty crumby affairs. The rematch with Wilder is a genuine big fight, but I'm still sceptical it will do 2 million buys like Arum is claiming.

Well furys been promoting since he signed with arum. Hes promoted it on espn, wwe, and a college football game.
Idk wth wilder is doing. I guess he promoted it during his build up against ortiz cause he mentioned nothing about ortiz and just kept talking about aj and fury despite the ppv bombing.

No press tour. Meaning they won't be travelling city to city. But they will be on ESPN & FOX shows following the boxers like All Access and HBO 24/7. And interviews at the Superbowl. But these dinosaurs here keep complaining about a damn press tour.

Oh well that's all good with me cause I'm not living in the states so I can't be involved in any of that.
All access and 24/7 I'm sure will bring it on like they always do.
Actually for me they always hype up these events the best compared to the others.

They hate wilder, they’ll complain about him until the day he dies for not signing with dazn and letting Eddie Hearn control his career. This is multi-generational bigotry passed down from father to son repeated for generations. They would warm up to him if he did like farmer, Haney, and Andrade

all access (showtime) and 24/7 (hbo) wont have anything to do with this. ESPN and FOX will have plenty of shows to promote the fight. NBA, NFL and NCAA games will provide all the opportunities they need. Fury just agreed to terms last week and the fight is Feb 22nd so there's not enough time for a 1 week press tour. This is the most important fight of their lives, both finacially and personally. So i'm sure both agreed not to do a press tour because they need that week for training.

Ppv limit

This will not do 2 million in USA....but w lots of luck...


1 million in America...1 million ppv in UK

MY guess is 650 to
750 k ppv at 75$ per

If America had UK prices it would hit 1.5 to 1.75 million ppv
