The Sun doesn't know what Fury made against Wilder

[joe strong]

The filed purses were 4 million Wilder, 3 million Fury.

The reported guarantees were 14 million Wilder, 10 million Fury.

So no, it wasn't a 50/50 split.

From my understanding the guaranteed purses of 14 & 10 million were only if the PPV had 1 million buys. It did somewhere in the range of 275000-325000 so i don't think either reached those guarantees but i'm sure they still took home a few extra million each... The NSAC listed the purses at 4 million for Wilder & 3 million for Fury...

Your understanding is incorrect. 14 and 10 were the guarantees. For PPVs that do a million buys, the fighters make about 70 million combined. Your numbers are way off.

So you now admit you were wrong about the first fight being 50/50?

“It’s a signed deal,” said Arum about a rematch between Wilder and Fury for February. “Not only is it a signed deal for a second fight between the two best heavyweights in the world, the winner of the fight for a third fight, which is already signed, gets 60 percent of everything and the loser 40 percent. Right now, it’s signed for the second fight. Each side gets 50 percent. I would prefer it take place in Las Vegas,” said Arum about the February 22 rematch between Wilder and Fury,” said Arum.

No you should admit you’re wrong. Anyone with half a brain will believe Warren before you chief pbc nuthugger.

After claims from Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn that Wilder's camp refused to cooperate properly during early discussions for a unification bout with Anthony Joshua, Warren insisted that he had no such problem.

Warren claimed that a "50-50" purse split was agreed between the fighters after "quick and smooth negotiations."

"He was the world heavyweight champion. He's undefeated. They understand that."

Fury, who has dropped almost nine stone after ballooning up to 27 stone in his time away from the ring, intends to lose even more weight ahead of his meeting with Wilder.

Because they had a 50-50 split and he wants it to be known that Wilder made more than that. That's what is important to him. Not what Fury made

you were very clearly speaking in past tense and referring to the 2018 fight. the thread was very clearly referring to the 2018 fight.

you were 100% wrong about the first fight being 50/50.

so now you're trying to pretend you were talking about the rematch when you clearly weren't. pretty lame.

My numbers are not way off. Since I can't post the link I copied & pasted this. Can you get me a credible source if these numbers are wrong?

According to the California State Athletic Commission, Wilder had a guaranteed base purse of $4 million and Fury took home a guaranteed purse of $3 million. Despite Frank Warren's original claim that the revenue would be split 50-50, it was revealed that if the fight generated 1 million PPV buys, Wilder could make $14 million (£11 million) and Fury would earn around $10.25 million (£8 million). Both boxers would see this increase to their base purses after receiving their percentages from pay-per-view revenue.

The fight did not do 1 million PPV buys it was somewhere in the 275000-325000 range. I'm just going by what the CSAC said...

[N/A]

My numbers are not way off.

Yes they are. If a PPV sells a million buys, the fighters make way more than 24 million combined.

Since I can't post the link I copied & pasted this. Can you get me a credible source if these numbers are wrong?

Sure. I'll walk you right through the flaw of your numbers. It's not your fault. You got your quote from wikipedia.

"Despite Frank Warren's original claim that the revenue would be split 50-50, it was revealed that if the fight generated 1 million PPV buys, Wilder could make $14 million (£11 million) and Fury would earn around $10.25 million (£8 million).

Go ahead and read that entire article. Absolutely nowhere in there does it say anything about needing to sell a million buys. It just says the guarantees are 14 million and 10 million. The "million buy" requirement is completely made up. The "source" for the information doesn't actually contain that information.
