Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua, Fury Will Make 'Mayweather Money' For One Of Biggest Fights Of All Time

[vitali1999]

I understand it's an all Brit title unification show down. But in all actuality the fight is a mismatch. Fury will prove that when they meet. They should make no where near Mayweather money on that fact alone

this fight isn't making no Mayweather money. They'll be lucky to get 300k buys if it's on PPV in the states, especially as an afternoon fight.

Hope the fight happens, but I also hope the Wilder rematch happens too. And the AJ vs Usyk fight too. Go into unification without any issues. If Fury is confident he can beat Wilder again, then prove it. If not, then pay him for breaching the contract. Wasn't it Fury that said he "didn't care about money" when it came to fighting? Didn't he "donate his fight purse to charity" once? Well?

If there was a breach in contract then Wilder would be pushing for the fight instead he is promoting another opponent and is just fine with pushing conspiracy theories for people like you to believe.

You do not have to care about the money to still get paid what you are worth. Fury meant that he does not let money rule him and is not obsessed with having a lot of money.

What about arums logic that he's been crying n moaning about ? That type of money ain't achievable without fans in attendance ..

Hearn never reveals how much AJs purses are. Guess it's easier for his fan boys to lie about his earnings

What did Saudi pay for AJ previously?

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao generated $600 million. Unless you expect Fury vs. Joshua to sell millions of $100 US pay-per-views, I don't see where the money comes from. The Saudis aren't going to put up hundreds of millions as a site fee.

Is it possible Hearn is a promoter and he's exaggerating in an effort to promote the fight?

I do not think Hearn meant the fight would make 600 million but that each fighter would be making 9 figures each "type of money".

If the site fee's bring in 100 million which is feasible based on what was paid for the AJ v Ruiz fight. And you factor in all the PPV buys around the world and all the television rights etc.

$50,000,000 from the US market alone would be 500,000 PPV buys. AJ averages over a million buys in Europe alone and that would bring in another 40 million at least. You are sitting at 200 million without factoring in Fury and what he brings. This fight could easily see itself making 300 million or more.

Ummm what ? This fight will not male anything close to Floyd money.

Floyd is an ATG. Neither Fury nor Joshua are.

Floyd was P4P for like 2 decades ? Fury might just crack the Top 10

[skinnystev]

don't know why aj is getting big money he's a known loser and very much the B side

I can think of one crackhead who did. Well more denthead than crackhead. His owner whispered in to his clean unscratched ear that one offer was nothing more than Mayweather training camp money and then led him away from the chance for undisputed so he could be relieved of the one belt he had for even less money.

I won't name the fighter but he is one dumb cvnt.

Lol, my thoughts exactly when I read Ray's comment!

Only a crackhead ... or an extremely gullible and deluded fighter who was having his strings pulled by Al Haymon and Shelley Finkel.

Yeah I totally forgot about that when I made my comment, was thinking more about the money they would make with the fight happening outside of the U.K.

But yeah you guys are right, I still till this day, cannot understand how he got talked out of that money.

I think even he was thinking he would sign that contract, I remember him saying he was a free agent to one of his loyal LDBC and how this isn't the end etc like he was coming back to showtime after that 3/4 fights deal etc

Only to somehow be talked out of a guaranteed money. Well he bet on himself we were told, guess he lost the bet.
