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

[Coachcody]

Watched the replay on espn or fox, and they skipped the ring entrances and Fury singing during the post fight interview...not smart if they want to build up a third fight.

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.

Oh really? Did you already forget the Fury - Schwarz and Fury - Wallin flops?

[Tyistall]

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 is must see TV??? Hahahahha. Is that why Showtime dropped him? Is that why he has NEVER been a PPV star or had a PPV fight watched by over a million fans? Is that why he has yet to fill an arena? He has no sponsors and now he has no belts. And basically almost no chance of winning the third Fury fight hahahahhaha

Fox outbid Showtime for the Ortiz PPV after Showtime paid Wilder over $20 million for the Breazeale fight. That PPV went on to produce over $21 million in PPV revenue, not to mention the millions from the live gate. Both fights were sold out so again, your dreams don't count as facts. Wilder - Fury 3 is the most highly anticipated fight of the year only because people want to know if Wilder will avenge his only loss with a spectacular KO. Wilder is the reason why this fight is a can't miss event...

...for actual fans of the sport.

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

I did.. Considering Wilder was the favorite.. But he will get it back for me in the Trilogy! No doubt

God you are painfully ******. The Breazeale fight was going to be a PPV fight at first and then they made it a regular TV fight because NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD HAVE PAID PPV FOR THAT hahah. Wilder was lucky to make 2 or 3 million off that fight, probably less. There were 6k fans in the stands hahaha. Again, look it up you moron. You don't make 20 million off 6k fans hahahah. And just read through all the comments on Wilder vs Fury 3 and you will see that only delusional Wilder fans like yourself want to see this crap fight. The PPV numbers will be so bad that they won't announce them I am sure and the live gate will be even worse. It's a forgone conclusion, Wilder will get smashed again by feather fisted Fury. Then he will make even more excuses and his idiotic fans (like you) will get behind him again yelling bombsquad. Have you even rewatched the rematch?? I mean, Wilder got all out clowned and Fury isn't even a hard puncher

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.

Had Wilder put up a decent fight and gave a good account of himself, then yes, a rubber match would of been warranted. But he didn't, he got his ass whooped by a big ass Euro and idc how heavy that suit was, Wilder needs to man up and admit defeat.

The boxing world demands AJ vs Fury for all the HW gold. And Wilder needs to regroup with a fight against Andy Ruiz.

There's a contract in place. The third fight will happen and bring in more PPV sales in the States than a Joshua fight ever has.

Unless Deontay decides to go in another direction nothing will stop this from happening.

[Blond Beast]

That’s nothing. I’m sure Joe Tessitore predicts a million bajillion buys.

They need to put on a real undercard next time. Because what I saw was brutal to sit through.

Dude I hear yeah. I think decent undercards would go a long way to get the grass root fans interested and promote sum young talent. They’ve catered to the fringe fans for so long, one big fight and nobody else on the card. But I understand when they see empty arenas until the main event. They know they have loyal boxing fans money already so they don’t bother marketing to us. Maybe it’s our fault. But yeah promoters get by with the least possible. The days of the stacked card where u knew there would be at least one great fight that mattered is long gone.

Bwahahahaha....seriously.... bwahahaha!
