Klitschko made for the first fury fight 18 mil!!! And fury made 6 mil!!! For the rematch klitschko should have made 15 mil!!! And fury 8 mil!!! I am a big k2 Fan, but **** thats robbery!
Nope, that's business. All this hype for Fury right now is reaching a pitch. Wlad was never a good salesman, so he should thank Fury if they ever clash again. Fury will definitely throw a party like... This content is protected
Figure it out. This is why Fury didn't want the fight. 1st time out Fury made extra from the Sky Box Office model and he got a large % of the buys being the British fighter. This time it was on a new channel which is fairly doomed- Box Nation Box Office, people had stopped caring it dragged on so long and it was doing poor ticket sales. So he's making 8 m and nothing else. Especially when his comments drive away advertisers/ sponsers. Now he will be moved to Champion In Recess by the WBA. The champion in recess get 60/40 in their favour. If Joshua beats Klitschko then that is more than what Eddie Hearn deemed acceptable split by 10%. Then you have Sky Box Office. Then you have Wembley Stadium. Then you have Joshua's Showtime deal. Then all the advertsing and sponser because every eye in the UK is on this. 10% is probably worth as much as he was getting all together for Klitschko.....but even if Klitschko wins- he's getting a bigger bite of the pie for the rematch. Fury may have played an absolute blinder here.
While it may not seem fair, in reality it is. Boxing is a business first and foremost and while Fury may have beaten Wlad he's never been a big draw. Biggest purse he made prior I can find was Cunningham where he made $1.5 million, compared to Wlad who's purse bids are usually in the $7 million region. Wlad is simply the far bigger draw and if the rumours were true the rematch wasn't selling that well, so even after winning the title Fury still can't draw, he wasn't going to be making $8 million against anyone else.
They said it on german television. Slowly i think that wlad made 10 mil at least for every fight since 2008. Especially he is his own Promoter. Lets Count just 15 fights since 2008. He made close to 200 mil. (Haye, povetkin and fury fights where he made +15 mil) What Do you guys think?
Sorry no Link. It was on rtl News yesterday, they said that fury gave up his belts and then they said the purses. I dont think there is A Link.
