    I said Fury vs Wlad which was a primetime fight didn't do 800k. And you quoted me saying Fury vs Wilder is a much bigger fight. Since Fury vs Wlad did almost 600k...it means you agree with Arum because you believe Fury vs Wilder did better numbers.

    Also, being a draw will always get you crazy PPV numbers regardless if it isn't the match up the core fans want. Is that too complex for you to understand? Fccking dolt.

    You're obviously too dumb to know you're an idiot with non-functional brain cells.
    It is a bigger fight than Fury-Wlad. I wasn't aware it did 500k. But if it did then I'd expect Fury-Wilder to beat that as its much much much bigger. Despite the time slot.

    Never once said it would do 800 k though. So, it doesn't mean I agree with Arum. Again, never said that.

    Being a draw doesn't mean you'll always get crazy PPV numbers. That's just simply not true and we know that. Every big fight has two dance partners. AJ-Ruiz was not a big fight AT ALL and Fury-Wilder 2 will do better numbers.

      We have rugby union and rugby league (different sports).
      We have cricket, both the full 50over version and 20 over version. It's a sport that has fallen in popularity over the last 3 decades, but is being revived by the new club/country cricket T20 night games..and by England winning the Cricket world cup in the summer in an insane game. It's a shame you're missing out on an incredible sport that's the second most popular in the world. I'm a big cricket fan, it's far far superior to that rounders game you play (a girls game).
      I was always intrigued by cricket but never really watched a full match. Maybe I will check it out!

        But you can’t even make up that type of lie with UK PPV with the price bump, especially on BT that doesn’t have Sky’s reach.
        Fox and Disney are publically trades companies. Can’t falsely numbers

          Wait till the T20 cricket world cup, pick a national team and follow it. Watch it live or watch highlights on youtube.

              It’s no different to canelo in America ..

              Joshua is by far the biggest star in the uk, fury isn’t even near him.

              Joshua was on the main Saturday night show last night - because he appeals to the casual.

                Those closest to the know knows Wilder vs Fury 2 was a success and the trilogy will be even bigger since now Fury is a bonafide cross country star and Wilder is demoralized and people would love to see too behemoths enact more violence with some willing to watch Wilder hopefully get stopped again!

                Others who say it wasn’t a success don’t know what their talking about or their sources didn’t do their full homework or they must rivals!

                  3rd fight will be bigger. I am sure of that.
                  Both fights delivered some action and drama so 3rd fight will pull some massive numbers and celebrities.

                  It could be the return of big time HW boxing in US.

                    Well said. I have a sky q box with whole package. My friends have sky but no whole package. Now with sky you press a button **** watch the fight if you have whole package. My friends could not and had to ring up BT which was a pain in the backside n went elsewhere to watch it. So how many up down the country have done that?? Surely affects the numbers. Ended up in a pub lock in down seven sisters
