    #FuryvsWilder
    Is this the real reason Fury has pulled out of his fight v Wilder?

    If sales were bad maybe it proves that people dont care about fury or wilder? Sad that you have heavyweights that people dont even know much about in 2021 with all the media.

    I believe Eddie here, I have very little interest in that fight, Fury dominated Wilder twice, no need for a 3rd

    I think he is right

    Interest waa never going to be that high after the way Fury beat Wilder in the 2nd fight

    Far too one sided

    Illustrates the fact that no one cares about that fight.

    Those guys are guaranteed $50 million combined. I’m sure ESPN and FOX want to at least break even..

    Perhaps. Just like he might also have covid. Not saying he didn't have either.
    But coincidentally they also both had very poor ticket sales.

    The build up has been very poor

    The advertising has been very poor

    The marketing has been very poor

    Most likely all parties would have operated at a loss after paying the fighters their guarantees and that would have been disastrous for them.

    Use the 3 month extension to build the fight up and actually make an effort this time.

    Remember how awesome the build up for the rematch was???
