After one of the biggest mismatches seen on PPV how they going to sell a 3rd fight?

I'm happy to pay money to watch Fury beat Wilder into retirement.

That is totally irrelevant. Fury and Wilder are more known than ever.

It is kind of relevant to be honest.

Rubber matches rarely do better numbers than the rematches.

And I don't think I've even seen a rubber match where the rematch was that one sided. No way at all it does better numbers than the 2nd fight.

From Tapology
UFC 57 Liddell vs. Couture 3 400K
UFC 52 Couture vs. Liddell 2 280K

From Wikipedia
Pacquiao-Marquez 3 1.4m
Pacquiao-Marquez 2 400K

Jones-Tarver 3 405K
Jones-Tarver 2 360K

Patterson-Johansson 3 100k
Patterson-Johansson 2 25k

There's some examples for you of 3rd fights outdrawing the 2nd fight.

Likely there's more but I couldn't find numbers for Ali-Norton 2 or Ali-Frazier 2 and there haven't been a significant amount of trilogies.

And just in the interest of fairness, these rematches outdrew the trilogies:
Pac-Morales, Bowe-Holyfield, Valasquez-Dos Santos (UFC).

It's going to be a hard sell. Anyone in the top 50 would have been more competitive. Should the commissions even sanction it?

... they will sell just like that!!!... with even more UK fans filling the MGM...
