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

[PRINCEKOOL]

Come down in price $20, make the undercard 3 competitive world championship calibre fights, get wilder to actually have a personality this time rather than the subdued version he was leading up to the 2nd fight and maybe so.

They need to do a ALL HEAVYWEIGHT CARD, people want to see heavyweights fight.

Fury vs Wilder.
Dubious vs Miller.
Joyce vs Breezeale.

Build it as a British invasion of america.

No, I don't think a third fight would do that many buys. It's too one-sided now, Fury so dominant over Wilder.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

No way.. Read the comments.. Most people say Fury didn't make the count in the first fight! An the Farmer bs got people scratching their head.. An we all seen ricky hatton cheating in the first Wilder fight.. So it taints everything for Fury.. An what's worse is he's been caught cheating vs hammer! And wladimir!! Sooo.. This trilogy will settle the score.. If Fury wins.. Then it's on to AJ! If Wilder wins.. Then it's on to AJ! I don't care who wins.. Because regardless.. the undisputed fight will be in America.. So I'll be good either way!

let me clarify - most reputable boxing analyst/writers/insiders feel Fury won the 1st fight

The intrigue is gone.
The second fight underperformed despite a huge marketing blitz from Fox including a Super Bowl add.
People wanted to see if Fury could close the show or if he would get caught again and Wilder would do what he’s famous for.
Fury showed he’s too much for Wilder and figured him out.
No way a third fight does a million plus buys. Probably does worse than the rematch.

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...

The truth hurts. Funny how you rant on and on, but never provide sources to back up your claims. The truth is Wilder is must-see TV, especially Wilder-Fury 3. This could have been Joshua, but he played games in 2018, lost to Ruiz, then ran from a fatter version of him in the rematch. Not a good look...

Wilder “must see tv”? Lol!! Spent the majority of his career fighting in a barn in front of his hometown crowd in Alabama. Is the most unpopular MultiYear reigning Us Hw champ in ever!! Could not get a whiff of Ppv w/o Fury.

On the one hand, they are both better known after two high-profile fights. On the other, interest has to be lower in this matchup because of the way the last fight went, with Fury now a clear favourite.

That said, it remains a two-horse race and Wilder's KO power means the possibility of an upset, which should support some level of interest.

Also have to factor in, though, that the marketing push will not be as big.


I can only see it doing worse than the previous fight. If I had to plump for a number, I'd guess 500k buys.

Damn you really lost a lotta $$$ on that Wilder Loss....Huh?
You praying you make it back on that 3rd fight
Lolololol

Anthony Joshua is not a draw in America. Last time he was here he was sent back home with his tail between his legs.

At this point the contractually obligated third fight between Fury vs Wilder is a much bigger PPV money maker in the US.

Wilder isn't a draw in America either
Never sold out an Arena
Never did 1M Ppv ever
Soooo
What's your point?

He just sold 800,000 PPVs in America. What active fighter outside of Canelo and Pacquiao can do that?

Wilder is leagues above Joshua when it comes to being a draw in the US.
