Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder-Fury Has Only Sold 8,000 Tickets; Not A Good Look

[Noelanthony]

Dudes, these big fights in the US reach a fever pitch the day before the fight at the weigh in. We are 3 weeks out. US sports fans think 1 week at a time.

Canelo/GGG has no buzz going into fight week. Staples Center will be full and the PPV will do just fine.

I hope for their sake you are right.

Lol...Silly Eddie and the red faced old man ought to try and sort their own panic booked promotion out for April ....what a pair of smash and grab merchants ...simply clowns , completely out of their depth. ...Just watch them fade and die as soon as they find the balls for 50/50 matches.....Get in there Cod eye's.

Bellew should be commended because unlike Joshua they have not been able to persuade the 'lunitc' (his own words) out of challenging Usyk of which I here they did try!

So April could be Del boy fighting Joshua at Wembley......lol.....silly fact is some of you mugs would buy it!

Or some mugs would just talk about for the sake of sounding like an old mare

Hearn must have Fu#cked you up in school because the simmering hate you have for him is unhealthy. Let it go and move on. 1/3 of what you post is simply focussed on a Essex twat that isn’t even a boxer.

Heddie Sperm happy because he sells a lot of $10 soccer seats in a country where there is no major football, basketball, baseball and the list goes on, beat it bum

1 mil UK PPV's @ $25= $25 mil

1 mil US PPV's @$70= $70 mil

Who would be the A-side then?

If Wilder-Fury sells 300k that's $21 mil

That makes more sense

Exactly. It's about grossing power. Same goes for ticket prices

Fights only reach a fever pitch when its two world stars competing.
Mayweather,pacquiao,canelo,golovkin....do not put wilder or fury in that category.
This fight which i said at the start will bomb big time.
Droves of People forking out 70 dollars 3 weeks before christmas between two fighters relatively unknown with a **** undercard
Is a fantasy.
The ppv module is dead in the states now

[jonnyc420]

For reals $75 for a bad undercard it's not a good thing... should of match them better with all of the fighters haymon has...

Exactly, too much talent for there to be only mismatches on this card. The only fight that should be competitive is the main event and for $75 that is not worth paying for.

america is finished as the top boxing destination in the world.....your heavyweight who walks down any street in new york and no one recognises him.
A nation where MMA , basketball,baseball,,football are national sports and boxing is now second fiddle on all your networks.
Yesh right the top destination in the world lol
Go wembley stadium and a 90k packed stadium and it puts your shows to shame now.
You live in the past and its time yiu woke the fcuk up.

Put aj on any street in USA and no one would know who he is ,
He can fill a stadium in uk and get $25 a PPV or come and fill a stadium in Vegas where the gate would be huge as well because of ticket prices and get $75-$100 for the PPV and also get the recognition he deserves......

You don't have a stadium in vegas plus as i said before gumbo 75 dollars is cut before it even gets to the fighters....obviously even though you are from the states you have no idea how the ppv module works do you.
Joshua gets the recognition for continually beating better and better opponents and already has a better resume than that skinny chump covered in tattoos yiu have and joshua did it better in half the amount of fights lol.
Fight in vegas ? You mean watch crooked ass judges rob joshua of his titles like we saw with golovkin and also lewis when he got jobbed of a draw.
As i said boxing is finished as a main sport in the states now and when showtime finally pulls the plug on PPV as has HBO already then it can only get worse.
Been to vegas and Msg to watch big fights and its not all its cracked out to be lol
I bet youve not even been and seen a fight in vegas.
The glory days of vegas are a thing of the past now accept it

who makes 21 million a fight and who has only made 2.4 for his highest purse ? Lol
I know which street i would rather walk down ...wilder walks down bum allley and joshua walks down the golden lane ....again who should walk down what street lol

The conversation aint about how much it'll sell. It's about revenue generated based off 1 mil UK sales & 1 mil US sales. 1 mil US sales is more than double 1 mil UK sales in revenue. Right?

Yes. But it’s not going to sell that much so there is no point talking about it
