I read Fury ended up with 7.5 and its all in dollars for some reason.
Again, this was Tyson Furys first world title fight. Haye had been in at least 5. Mormeck, Macaranelli, Valuev, Ruiz and Harrison. Not an amazing listbut they had all had major promotion which Hayes appeal benefitted from.
Tyson hasnt done bad at all for a first time challenger and like I said find another first time world title challenger who was paid as much or created such a big event.
Even the biggest name in boxing Floyd Mayweather didnt become a pay per view fighter until about 7 years after becoming a world champion!
Tyson is going to be big time and hes already there!
all very true
doesn't really suggest he will be a bigger draw than Haye though
fury got a small share of a big pie and you cant really compare the heavies with lighter weights, they have an instant appeal advantage
if it ends that he commands more dosh than haye then he will be a big draw indeed

First you say "Fury has eclipsed Haye, made Wlad more money, him more money, has taken over as the greatest fighter on the planet, blah, blah,fucking blah! " Then , you get fucked over by the facts and you say "Yeah but this was Fury's first World title shot and yeah but, yeah fucking but!" That's when you change the goalposts.
Personally, I'm not sure that Haye's comeback is going to add up to all that much. Too much time away, a shoulder that could be fucked, and his assets (Power and relative speed)will have diminished in the time away, while his competitors have improved.
However, the way you blatantly disregard and disrespect every single other fighter in that division that doesn't have the Fury surname is quite frankly nauseating.
Now do yourself a favour and make yourself 2 New Years Resolutions:
1. Take your head out of Fury's ass once in a while to get some air. And
2. Stop talking like a cunt all the time.
You are a moron arent you.
You are trying to unfairly judge the appeal and draw of a first time world title challenger to that of a boxer who had been promoted as a world champion for 4 years!
Its you that is trying to narrow the posts as is Erics.
The first Wlad Fury fight was worth more than the Wlad Haye fight. The rematch even if only worth the same will see Fury get the lions share as the defending champ and earning more than Hayes biggest purse in only his second world title fight
Oh ots also going to be the first succesfull defence of unified titles at heavy something Haye also never did.
Haye isnt a bad fighter but hes not what some still delude themselves in to thinking he is. Hes on the same level as a Lucas Browne right now someone whos on the fringes who would get found out at the top.

what does narrow the posts mean?
I'm just trying to find out what the facts are
The original question that I am trying to find out is - who is the bigger draw fury or haye, and i'm going into it with an open mind
I'm not that confident that Fury Wlad was worth more than Haye Wlad just because you said it was
I mean, if I told you I had a 12 inch nob would you believe me without doing some research yourself?

I haven't "unfairly judged" fucking anything, you fool, and nor has Eric. They were just replies to your conjecture.
Nobody Is denigrating Fury's achievements in his last fight , far from it. But it is merely a start, you go on like he has achieved World domination. He's got a long way to go in order to be the superhero you believe him to be. He might even get there, but there's a lot of work to be done yet.
Well it is!
You said Wlad Haye was a 50/50 split with both earning 10 million.
Wlad Fury although not an equal split had Wlads purse at 18 and Tysons at 5 (before pay per view shares) which is a combined 3 more than Wlad Haye.
Think of it like this as well. Had Fury also gone in to their fight as a defending champion and established world class fighter of 4 years he could also have demanded a fair split which would have been more than Hayes purse
Fury must be the bigger draw as he created a fight that was worth more than Hayes feeble effort.
Also, stop going on about nob size. Was it Ryan Giggs you told us you had seen?![]()
