DAMN!!! Both Wilder and Fury are guaranteed $25 million and both will make more PPV

[WBC WBA IBF]

Cable providers take half the PPV money. They'd need way over a mil to break even if it was PPV alone, but adding in the gate etc they need around a mil.

Arum is claiming the live gate is over $16 million. How many buys do you think the fight will do in the UK? Didn't the first fight do 450,000 in the UK? I assume this fight will do much more?

I don't think cable providers take half the PPV money anymore. The fight is available on Fox's app and ESPN's app, so they don't really need the cable providers anymore. I'd be very surprised if the cable companies had enough leverage to demand 50% anymore when there are so many other options. The cable companies already lost all of their WWE and UFC revenue. There's no way they're still insisting on 50% like they used to decades ago. It hasn't been that way in a long time. Arum put a big fight on closed circuit in the 90s and the cable companies adjusted the split to bring boxing back to PPV and they have even less leverage now than they did then.

Fight looks more like a propaganda to get better percentage against AJ than a real fight.

They don't guarantee this type of money for PPV fights. And the fact that they did for the first time in history shows it's a ruse. The both of them combined won't make $25million.

I smell a fixed fight due to how political they have turned the fight. So, the fight should end up in another draw.

LMAAAAOOO @ 450k in the UK. The fight didn't do 50k in the UK.

Why do yanks think Brits just like throwing money away?

These idiots actually believe a Fury who was coming off a 3-yr hiatus at the lowest he was in the UK did 450k PPV on BT which has smaller reach compared to skysports at 5am in the morning. LMAOOOOOO. Yanks are dumb.

Fury vs Wilder 1 didn't do 50k PPV buys in the UK & there's a reason why BT never released the number.

From Wikipedia:

The event was both a critical and a commercial success. At $74.99 in HD, the fight generated 325,000 buys in the United States. In the United Kingdom, the fight sold 450,000 buys.

Anyone can falsify info on wikipedia. I can go on wikipedia now and edit it back to less than 50k.

BT never released the official numbers.

The amount of people watching on the app compared to cable will be tiny. Cablr providers take half, everyone knows this, you have any proof of other numbers please share.

1 mil ppv will create 40 mil after the cable providers take their cut.



Go post on your original account too fat boy. You aren't very smart putting WBC WBA IBF under your name.

What proof do you have that the cable companies are taking half? Just because cable providers took half 30 years ago doesn't mean they still take half. Cable companies took half when promoters had no other options. Everything in life is a negotiation. We have no idea what split has been negotiated for this fight.

Why have you abandoned you WBC WBA IBF account and started posting on an alt?

Your posting style and arguments are so easy to spot.
