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

[lion33lit]

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!

Exactly!......

This is ****ing ****** now

Fury wilder 1 and 2 both underperformed, both had ridiculous ppv predictions and they are doing it again

800 PPV for the last fight was a lie. It did way less than that. And the next fight will do paltry numbers at best. You guys are pumping Fury up to be unbeatable but he has always had trouble staying the course with success. The real question is what will Fury do if/when he beast Wilder again. Will he fight Whyte, or get stripped? Or actually fight AJ?

You're right. It was more like 1.2 million buys. At $80 a pop, that's $96 million PPV revenue, not to mention the record live gate of $17 million.

And this is why you cannot debate with guys on here. You idiots believe anything that backs up your agendas. Just like you guys believing that the 50 million dollar email from Wilder, with a 24 hour deadline and no meeting, was real hahah. If the rematch did 1.2 million PPV buys, they would have screamed it from the highest mountain hahaha. They didn't. Instead they allowed "leaks" and misinformation to spread that the PPV buy numbers were bigger than they were. Without ever confirming or denying. And again, you idiots ate it up. Congratulations...

I can. Especially if those deluded ones who believe the glove thing CAN put their money where their mouths were. And buy the fight.

I think it can get huge numbers because it should be one of the first big fights back from coronavirus.

Do not agree , this virus will educate people on the value of their hard earned money and real boxing fans have had the luxury to step back, realise and understand the sport and business more , fans will not be fooled by this taffet guy who is clearly living in the past and not in the saturated streaming dog eat dog market we live in now . Not enough quality to to go around but they all want top money for delivering largely a mediocre product and the public are wiseing up now .

I cant see the third fight doing more than the second. Especially when most people consider Fury to be 2-0 and the 2nd fight was a blowout. ****, between a combined 19 rounds Wilder won like 3-4. Its not exactly a compelling set up for the third.

[DougalDylan]

The money they spent advertising this last time was biblical and killed their profit. So the good news if they kill that they can make more money on lower numbers but also that makes it very hard to see the numbers going up.

whatever ..

It wont there 2nd match was the most hype it was going to get and it only did 800k so now after clear wins no one is intrigued the question if his knockout power would win against technique got answered. Not saying Wilder doesnt have a chance to win but this is going to do less ppv buys.

I see it this way too.

[Oshio]

No way the fight will not under sell 800k ppv
