LAS VEGAS Tickets to the Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury rematch became a hot commodity throughout the past week.

Officials announced a sellout crowd of 15,816 and an MGM Resorts International official confirmed that the live gate for Wilder-Fury II broke the Nevada record for a heavyweight fight.

Well done to Al Haymon and Bob Arum.....great to see a black American and ***ish American come together and create such a momentous occasion. Much better than YouTube fights. Can’t wait to see the lov numbers being as “ppv is dead” and all

I knew they were going to make a lot of money but what I didn't know is they were both guaranteed 28 million & a 50/50 split on all other revenue. Wilder has 30 days to exercise the rematch clause which would hen go 60/40 split for Fury. The fight would have to take place in June or July apparently. I expect a rematch because there is too much money on the line for Wilder not to take it unless he is injured & can't recover in time. I'm not sure the demand will be there after that one sided beating but Wilder won't be able to make that kind of money without a belt so I expect there will be a 3rd fight...

I think Fury cheated.. He looked like he was on some WWE steroids. I'm just being honest.

Fury won 10 rounds the last time taking it easy on Beyonce... if the scorecards actually read the correct score, there would be no need for a rematch, but I guess it was a blessing and a curse in disguise for ole' ignorant Beyonce: he made a fortune and got his butt kicked. Would love to see Fury school AJ and then hang them up.

To witness a can of whoopass being opened is always special. And that was a can of vintage whoopass. One for the same cabinet as Calzaghe Lacy.

Hopefully he doesn’t unless he knows he can do something differently. He can still have a career but if he gets another beating like that I am not so sure. He is going to have to weigh the money from a 3rd fight against what he thinks he could make rebuilding his career.
