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

[jonnyc420]

Doubtful, Wilder hasn't even come close to being a star, his lady a bigger star than he is. Fury can't sell this thing on his own, plus the way he dominated the rematch I doubt outside of a few morons think Wilder has a shot. Personally I think it's best for Wilder's health and his fans mental health if he stays away from Fury.

Not sure the second fight actually hit 800,000 so the third might get 600,000 at most.

Who the hell wants to see a third fight? Wilder got his ass whipped and it wasn't a regular ol' L, Fury completely destroyed his ass.

Bring on Fury vs Joshua.

Maybe Arum should call Taffets brother before he sends out his predictions......

I miss HBO.

This is one of my weaknesses, but I believe a solid decent under card can be made with one unification, the other one champion against a good opponent and one eliminator with solid recognizable boxers. The problem with this, is paying decent money to them.

No freakin way. Joshua-Ruiz 3 would do way more than that fight.

“Last fight was a great one”...?? Huh? Straight up beatdown!!!!! Will b even less interest in 3rd after 2nd being one-sided and all the pathetic weak excuses from Wilder!!

I disagree.. Furys got another wwe fight coming up.. And everyone is interested to see Fury and Wilder in the Trilogy.. So it should do great numbers.. Im not sure about the gate.. But since theres no other fights to watch.. All eyes would definitely be on this... No doubt! People want to see if Wilder will bounce back and KO Fury.. And people also want to see If Fury can win again. The interest is there.. Trust me! If u don't want to see it again.. U are not a boxing fan. Period!

The UNDERCARD was the problem with the second fight was the undercard. It was trash, pure trash man. I watched the fight but it was tough waiting for the main event...

Have any of Wilder’s fights even broke a million views on free tv, collectively, worldwide? So much for him being “the most popular fighter of 2018”, and an A-side fighter

Are you American or English? I’m intrigued to know what the ppv event was like across the pond. The one we got in England took literally two hours for the first fight to happen. Out of a five or six hour PPV event there was three fights in total, four if you include the full reply of the first fight, from just before the ring walks until after the post fight interviews lol

I know it’s only around $30 (£25) for us but it was still a disappointing $30 to spend.
