Fury v Wilder - Staples Center, Los Angeles 1/12/18

[Fenster]

The promotion has been excellent - three city tour, major US sports talk radio/podcasts/shows, constant social media in their training camps.

It's not in Vegas because they wasn't wanted, not big enough, proved by the pathetic ticket sales, why would they possibly choose anywhere in America other than Vegas if they really thought it was a BIG money fight?

And these clowns, their fans, Frank Warren and team Wilder were slating Joshua for selling only, only, only 75,000 tickets against Povetkin!

Why have the purses never been revealed? How much is Wilder getting? Is it anywhere close to that Joshua money he turned down?

They used Joshua's name to sell this fight but it's backfired.

You say the promotion's been great. Ykadaka... says it's been terrible. If you go solely by results, the promotion has sucked. Maybe the effort has been put in, but it hasn't worked. Second-guessing's the name of the game, I guess.

Blame it on jaded fans... blame it on location... blame it on whatever except the fighters themselves. They're the ones putting themselves out there and willing to fight.

Hearn must be laughing all the way to the bank, no doubt working on a lower offer than he offered the first time, as we speak.

Still... let's say Wilder beats Fury... and Hearn comes back with a pathetic offer based on Wilder-Fury's numbers in LA. That wouldn't look too good for Hearn, IMO.

I meant the effort to promote the fight has been great. They did a three city media tour and have never stopped doing shows - the biggest USA/British breakfast TV shows, every major radio station, constant media access for all the big online outlets, the Joe Rogan interview alone has 2 million hits and was used for media articles all over the world.

The only reason the fight hasn't sold is the general public don't give a shit about these clowns. Wilder has no fans in America (relative) and Fury is a cult figure in the UK, he's never headlined a major show and bores everyone to death inside the ring.

And like you said, nobody has ever mentioned how much they are earning.
Add to this, U.K. PPV Figures at 4am will be about as good as Eubank Jr. On ITV PPV v Yildirim.

How much is the Showtime PPV costing in the US?
Anyone know?
I think it's about £20 In the UK on BT sports.

So, I just re-watched the Fury vs Klitschko fight to get an idea for how the fight with Wilder may look.
Let me just say that this fight was.. underwhelming.

Does anyone herehave a least favoite roud in that fight?

The first round where Fury puts his hands behind his back?

I'd have to re-watch it, as I slipped into a boredom-induced coma about two rounds into the fight.

I haven't watched it since it was on live but I think the 12th was the one with the most action so I'd say 12th.
