Comments Thread For: Fury-Wilder 3 Can Do 1.5 Million PPV Buys, Former HBO Boss Says

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Wilder has already done what no other heavyweight has done in boxing history: he has the highest knockout ratio ever, in over 40 fights. And just like Ortiz, he has been avoided by all the top heavyweights from Klitschko to Povetkin to Joshua to Whyte.

The reason: you could get seriously hurt. As was witnessed when Fury was put flat on his back.

So Klitschko said, no thanks, can I pay Wilder so that I can fight Stiverne instead?
Povetkin said, hey, can I use PEDs before I fight him?
Joshua said, get lost!! Why don't YOU go train and YOU fight him! I don't even want to fight him for $50 million!
And Whyte said, nah, I don't care what the WBC says! I will not fight Ortiz or Breazeale for the mandatory spot! I'll just keep talking...

so bad and dangerous - just got beatdown by a flabby pillow/fisted Fury!!! Hws r so fearful of toothpick legs!! Lol!!

Beyonce so dangerous and ferocious....couldn’t even handle his pre-fight costume!!!!Lmao!! Has there ever been a more pathetic excuse for a beatdown!!!!

easy to have a high Ko ratio with that pathetic resume of bum after bum!! Famous Wilder quote “ the top ten is never available” lmao!! Guess that explains defending against b-level hws like Duhauppas, Molina, Areolla, Spillka, Washington, Breazele!!

Wilder is the only top heavyweight to fight Fury and Ortiz. Klitschko failed to pay him off, Povetkin got caught cheating with PEDs, and Joshua actually jumped out of the WBC ratings to fight IBF champion Martin instead. When it came time to fight Wilder, Joshua suddenly came up with a flat fee and Fury had to step in to save face. Klitschko, Povetkin, Joshua and Whyte's actions all suggest that Wilder is the most dangerous heavyweight in the division and the rubber match with Fury will be between the top 2 heavyweights in the division. Wilder will be seeking revenge for his only loss, and I'm predicting that Wilder will win by TKO...

Wilder is the only top heavyweight to fight Fury and Ortiz.

The other way of looking at it is Wilder is the only top HW Fury and Ortiz have fought. And given that Wilder hasnt fought any other top HWs apart from those two nobody really knows how good any of these guys actually are relative to the rest.

Nope, but I also dont think it will do 200k buys as Eddie Hearn is thinking/wanting it to do. Around 600k-700k is my guess.

In their last 20 fights, Wilder has fought the better opposition out of Fury and Joshua in terms of won-lost ratios. Ortiz has been frozen out since agreeing to step aside for Joshua-Klitschko, then fighting Wilder. The top heavyweights simply don't want to lose to Ortiz...
