    Again, we'll see. They certainly think it will sell.

    And one 30-second promotional ad showing Wilder flooring Fury in the ninth in the first fight ... cut to Fury flooring Wilder with a body shot in the return ... cut back to Wilder flooring Fury in the 12th in fight one ... cut back to Fury clubbing Wilder to the floor in the return ... then show a clip of Wilder celebrating in fight one when Fury went down ... then show a clip of Fury entering with his crown on in fight 2 ...

    Followed by the words

    Fury Wilder 3
    World Heavyweight Title


    It's not a difficult sell, really.

    Joshua-Pulev is a difficult sell. (LOL)

    They both are

    AJ has a huge band of casuals(which before anyone jumps on me is absolutely fine) who would still pay to see fight anyone so..

    I dont believe Wilders team are as confident about a 3rd fight making a huge profit, rather that they see this as PBCs last shot at the HW belts for a while so gotta take it

    Fury Wilder III will be the biggest sports event at the end of this year post Corona in December

    That's why Eddie is mad.

    "but but AJ Pulev, plz buy this fight guys not Wilder Fury" pelaaseeeee

    All I have to say is at least the current WBC HW champion wasn’t satisfied playing it safe and went for the kill when it was clear his opponent wasn’t providing adequate resistance.. It’s easy to forget he took a huge shot that almost ended him in the first fight and still went for blood in the rematch but AJ only wanted to jab and grab Rollie Pollie Ruiz for 12 rds..

    Ridiculous, fans are currently starved of top tier boxing content, sports content in general. They'll get more buys than they would if this pandemic didn't happen.

    Most people just want to see a fight they aren't putting that much thought into it. Especially now when sporting events are few and far between

    Please...stop. The shot didn't "almost end him." He got up and won the remainder of the round.

    I have no idea if you are a Wilder fan and don't wish to start an argument, but I am sick of hearing the nonsense about "almost ended," "almost killed," "could have knocked him out," etc.

    He got up and won the rest of the round. And it was when he was at 50% strength. In the rematch Wilder landed a few and they had no effect at all.

    I’m a fan of all 3 as each have completely different styles. I’m just stating the facts Fury and those close to him admitted that the shot that put him down in the 12 rd had a major impact on him. He easily outboxed Wilder in the first fight and could have taken that approach in the rematch and fight even safer to avoid being hit. Instead he took the aggressive approach and when it became obvious Wilder couldn’t put a valiant effort to defend himself Fury went for the finish. AJ chose in his rematch to fight as safe as possible and use the jab and grab approach the full fight. It was apparent that Andy was by far out of shape and was there to be finished, but AJ just settled for the decision. No bias just calling it even. AJ and Wilder had multiple defenses as a champion and Fury hasn’t even managed one so each guy still have a lot to prove..

    What you said is that it "almost end(ed) him." That is not a fact. Based on what happened subsequently, it is the opposite of fact.

    Fury is the far better boxer, as he’s shown in both fights. Also, stylistically he’ll always have the advantage over Wilder. Wilder is a slugger who might be less than average in all other areas.

    Dude he got put flat on his back and his head bounced off the canvas and barely beat the count. Get a grip it's ok that your favorite fighter is human not a diety

    Hatman slurping out of Eddie's ass. Wilder Fury 2 was huge. The third fight could do just as well depending on how well the fighters and promoters promote it and How Wilder looks and does in training camp, he will be the underdog in this fight.

    And then got up and won the remainder of the round. Tell the truth.

    then by definition, the punch didn't "almost end him," which is what is being discussed.
