Comments Thread For: Fury Promoter: It Doesn't Look Like Wilder Trilogy Will Happen in 2020

[paulf]

Realistically, without the tens of millions of dollars in promo that they spend on the rematch, this PPV probably does 400k. My reasoning there is that it does better than the first one due to their names being grown here quite a bit since they first fought.

Each guy could make 5mil + upside with those numbers.

That means they both get paid one-fifth of what they made in the rematch. That is a hard pill to swallow and both their teams, especially Wilders, will be telling them “bad idea” if they have any sense.

Wilder could make that amount by taking a big step aside fee to allow Fury-Joshua and fighting a comeback fight against a no-hoper.

I’m not accusing anyone of ducking anything, but the fight seems financially impossible to make right. Even with crowds, Wilder and Fury would have had to take less money in the third fight, so without them it’s a real challenge.

Record breaking gate heavyweights? 17-20m in cash on gate alone? But all the ultranationalist/Britain First/English Defence League/Tommy Robinson/Alt Right Eddie Hearn Arsenio licking council house chavs always running their pathetic sucks about “wilder can’t draw fans” blah blah blah....

Yea Wilder is such a big draw...with his previous fight against Ortiz, one of the four biggest bouts in his career, at the same venue, doing just over $4m with a half filled arena

He needs Fury to get noticed. You're obviously gonna turn around and say Fury needs Wilder as well...but no. Wilder fights in his own country and struggles to half-fill arenas, Fury fights a couple of stinkers in his own country for comeback fights against two nobodies and fills arenas.

Meanwhile AJ packs arenas and stadiums no matter who he fights

Bless ya wiccle cotton socksies! try again, poppet

That's what they are on record as saying, could be lying of course and its half Eddie half Bob. Seemed like they were very willing to go no crowd if the Fury fight was there to be had but now that might not be possible. I guess we see, makes Fury Wilder look bad if they do.

What they’re trying to do is to get Fury/Wilder to forgo the rematch so they can be next in line. Then I would guarantee if they were in the next fight position they wouldn’t fight until fans were able to come back. They’d then hem and haw over well we can’t make the match blah blah blah.

More evidence that *******ism is a mental illness!

Personally what I would like to see is AJ vs Fury for all the marbles. Pulev vs Wilder for the #1 contender spot and Usyk vs Povetkin/Whyte II winner for the #2 contender spot.

They should just cancel the fight and go straight to Fury/Joshua.

I'm a big fan of activity. People complain too much about level of opposition. I'll be happy to see Fury in the ring against anyone this year. The fans want to see him fight.

The only way Fury vs AJ could happen is if the Saudi’s are willing to put up a huge fee to have a heavyweight unification in their country. Then the live gate doesn’t matter similar to AJ/Ruiz 2.
They don’t care about making a profit. Similar to their billion dollar deal with WWE they see it as positive PR for their country.
Hell they could pay Wilder a $20 million step aside fee and guarantee both fighters $100 million each.
That’s pocket change for that Saudi Blood Money.

Soudi Arabia have a chit load of $ while attacking Yemen at the same time. But Windmill won't fight outside the states. I don't know why? The fight won't go to the cards anyway, Windmill is going to take another beating.

Fury himself doesn’t like second rated fight. It’s the reason why he was ready and prepared to drop his belt rather than fight Whyte at the end of this year.

He wants Joshua next, if Arum can get rid of his fighters mandatory (Pulev), then they should go straight to the Joshua fight.

Holding Fury’s career isn’t cool? You think for one second Fast Eddy is going to let his golden goose fight in a potential mega fight with no crowds as well?

Newsflash: the AJ fight wouldn’t be made either.

Hearn is all about money, you really don’t know that man.

Saudi would put the money down, if they can do so for Joshua to fight Ruiz, then they would do so for Joshua to fight Fury.

Wilder is not a fighter that would travel. He didn’t when he had multiple offers and I don’t see why he would do so now that his name was bigger than in 2018 when he turned down chances to unify.

So yeah he is holding Fury’s career down.
