    I actually Fury-Wilder 2 pulls in more money than Joshua-Fury. US PPV is a game changer. I reckon Fury-Wilder 2 does close to a million PPV buys, Fury-Joshua doesn't sell any if the fight is in the UK.

    Warren in fairness was an expert in this. He did it time and again with Calzaghe. Joe beats someone like Kabery Salem. Frank talks about an offer for Hopkins or Johnson. 'We're very interested in making the fight and these are the fights we want now for Joe.' Delivers Mger Mkrtchyan. Joe wins. Frank talks about an offer for Hopkins or Johnson. 'We're very interested in making the fight and these are the fights we want now for Joe.' Delivers Tocker Pudwill. Joe wins. Frank talks about an offer for Hopkins or Johnson. 'We're very interested in making the fight and these are the fights we want now for Joe.' Delivers Evans Ashira.

    Even if it does end up being Miller then in 23 fights he'd have beaten Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker, Whyte, Takam, Breazeale and, presumably, Miller. This is A, hardly the behaviour of someone who's terrified of a challenge, and B, utterly miles ahead of where Fury (had beaten Chisora and nobody better) and Wilder (his best win was probably an eight rounder against Owen Beck) at the same stage of their career.

    I don't think a wilder and Fury 2 can make anywhere as much as AJ vs any top 10 fighter let alone AJ vs Fury which at Wembely.

    Wilder's stock has been significantly higher. Before the Fury fight he was a stone cold killer, stopped every man he faced, and would blow away a fat old Fury with ease. Oh, and he'd probably do a million PPV's as well.

    The latter didn't even get close to happening, and around 80-90% of people watching think Fury beat him and will beat him easier next time. It's almost one of those fights whereby it feels like he's won on a technicality as so many disagree with the result. I personally didn't think it was that harsh but I know I'm in a significant minority. His biggest stage and all the talk after was about how well Fury did and how Wilder couldn't hit him, missed all night and couldn't stop him.

    Said on latest IFL interview that he is gonna reveal all the offers that everybody has received so people can see the million fighters are turning down.

    Said that fury knows the terms of the fight if he wants to make it happen.

    Hearn also said the offers to Fury and Wilder werent far off a 60/40 split so I am assuming that its 65/35 which seems fair.

    What do you reckon is worth more to Wilder and Fury, 50/50 of their rematch in Vegas or 35% from a fight vs Joshua? Do you see what i’m saying, if Joshua is serious about wanting to fight Wilder/Fury he’s got to offer more than 35% surely because they can both make big money between them instead without listening to low ball offers.

    Probably 35% of the Joshua fight unless you're the sort of lunatic who thinks Wilder Fury II starts doing Lewis Tyson/De La Hoya Trinidad numbers.

    Wilder v Fury 2 does great numbers. You’re a lunatic if you don’t think it does. The fall out from that fight was huge. It was all over telly, radio & internet.

    But it did less than the buys which Bradley Marquez did and to make Joshua money it's going to need to go stratospheric.

    “Eddie Hearns says...” a lot of things.

    I prefer to focus on actions over words. Fury Ortiz wilder and Joshua are widely considered the top four in the division right now.

    Three of those guys appear to have no problems making fights with one and other.

    I was. The first fight did pretty average numbers and the rematch will do more but nowhere near the numbers you think it will. Reasons why I think that: boxing doesn't really do big numbers in the States anymore. The first fight was actually pretty dull bar the knockdowns. Standard Fury land six shots and take three per round tedium. Neither man has ever been that popular anywhere. You will get some who missed the first who'll be intrigued. But not enough.
