Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury Rematch Broke Heavyweight Gate Record In Vegas

[MisanthropicNY]

wow they did trick people good into believing wilder was legit. now we know tank davis will never fight anyone

Gervonta is following Floyd's blueprint of only taking a fight when the fighter has already shown to be vulnerable.

I called that fight WAY wrong I expected a Wilder ko in 5 and it went completely opposite. Fair play to Fury maybe Wilder can save face in the 3rd fight and if not so be it Fury is the better man

Wilder was owned in the rematch! Not one solid single punch landed, damn. How can you face your fly ass wife, look at her in the eye and have sex with her? He can't! She will be thinking of the Gypsy King and he knows it, FACTS!

Even 90,000 in Wembley don't come close to that live gate.

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.

It will take getting a totally new corner, his corner say a k and let him develop some horrid habits which have directly left him to this point. Since the Molina fight, wilder has had a very bad habit of coasting, of letting his opponents walk to him, of giving away rounds in order to wait to land a right hand, and it finally cost him. At 34-35 I doubt he can improve. He is extremely stubborn and appears to have been comfortable fighting this way. He doesn’t throw the left hook as a stand alone weapon, he doesn’t throw 3-4 punch combinations, doesn’t mix up attacks to the head and body in one combo, he doesn’t throw uppercuts on the inside in the clinches, he doesn’t step to his right to set up the left hook.....it’s 1-2 combinations, that’s it. And as we saw, no inside game at all.
Wilder had accomplished what he was going to accomplish in the sport. And on top of all that, Fury may just be too big for him....40+ lbs is a lot of weight to give away. That’s a featherweight vs a super middleweight

Clearly the money is in the USA, we have always known this, just wait until the Ppv numbers come out. Wilder and fury may end up clearing 40m each from the back end money

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.

He won 10 rounds and got knocked out cold and barely beat the count, there still would've been call for a rematch.

Wilder got his ass whooped but he also got a punctured ear drum very early in the fight and probably never got his balance back from that. It will be interesting to see if he pushes the rematch. I think he should fight Ruiz or Whyte. I still say Wilder knocks out AJ unless AJ does the deed first. AJ no head movement, he won't be evading punches like Fury.

Prices in england are reasonable though. Live sport should be affordable for all, not just the wealthy.

While I agree with everything you said about Wilder I think taking the 3rd fight with Fury isn’t about trying to win its about money. If hes comfortable losing and getting that payday and retiring afterwards hes going to have to decide that because he is not going to get better. Or he can avoid being completely ruined by Fury and take lesser fights so he can make himself money without having to take that kind of a beating again. He could gain weight and be a butterbean or Shannon Briggs.

Can’t wait to hear Hearn’s take on these figures after trying to spread rumours about poor sales
