    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?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    Furys Dad has been refused entry into the US because of an incident 11 years ago when he gouged a man's eye out.
