Fury/Whyte Split confirmed

In your dreams pal. Fury generated 1 million in his fight, and the yanks topped it up to 12 million, losing money in the process.

That's real nice.

 

All that tells me is Furys can shift books better boxing tickets.
Big deal.

Like I said, 5.5 million followers, and only 4000 attending his fights?

 

Paris Fury also has a best-selling book.

The truth is that although Whyte is entertaining and a strange character, he's nowhere near Fury's level in any way. He and his "brother" are also clearly lovers.

 

Baseline $100m. How did you not know about this?

Fury could only sell 4000 tickets. Multiply that by 5, and you get Whyte's ticket sales.

Although I am Fury's biggest fan, and I think he deserves more people appreciating his style.... I have to admit nobody finds Fury entertaining enough to pay REAL money to watch him fight. But clicking FOLLOW on instagram is free, so why not... have a bit of a laugh at Furys clown antics for free.

 

Oh this conversation was about how much money the fights generate, not how much money boxers get in donations. How did you not realise this? Did you read the posts?

 

Schwartz and Wallin aren’t great fights - it’s as simple as that. Post Wilder 2, Fury’s profile got much bigger.

Would be genuinely interesting to see how well Fury vs Helenius would sell in this country, not that I want to see that fight.

 

Yeah it looks like you been reading Paris Furys book more than you been reading about boxing. Goodreads.com is where you want to be mate, not here. cheers

 

What is the end goal of popularity? It's money. And Fury has extracted more money from fans and commercial activity.

You are literally using only attendance figures, which have so many variables, as the criterion upon which you evaluate popularity. It's laughable, and everyone here is laughing at that.

I think people buying Fury's books, in which they have to read hundreds of pages about only him, is more of a testament of his popularity than selling out a measly 20,000 seats that have been rammed up Sky consumers' (football drunks) asses on every commercial break for 2 months before the bout.

If Fury comes back to the UK, he sells out any arena. No problem. He has reached and is currently enjoying global superstardom, hence why he is the one calling the shots and Whyte is begging for an extra 10%, 10% that Fury has stashed underneath his bathroom sink as emergency toilet paper. Meanwhile Whyte can't even afford purchase a 2 bedroom apartment in his beloved shithole Brixton.

That's the sorry truth.

 

So you claim, reality is all Wilder fights had high attendances with Wilder being the drawing factor. Because these two other fights in between, numbers went way down.

Don't need to be sherlock holmes to solve this one. So Wilder 2 and 3 meaningless for Furys commercial value, actually... Wilder 3 was somewhat of a failure as it did less than the second bout:

It's interesting that you refer to a commercial investment as a donation.

Not very business-minded and also lacking common sense.

 

"If Fury comes back to the UK, he sells out any arena. No problem"

Err problem is, thats never happened... and he kind of ran away from the UK like a sulking little girl because it didnt happen.

20,000 tickets was kind of the maximum capacity of the arena... people tried sitting on the roof, but unfortunately health and safety for Whyte fans kicked in. But if you think 20K tickets is measly how about 2.7 Million PPVs sold? Yeah thats a sexy figure. Especially for someone without a title, or even fighting in a title bouts. Now tha'ts super stardom.

Your "Global Superstar Fury" can enjoy his 4000 people in attendance, I'm sure there are Birthday parties with more attendance than that. If Fury comes back to UK he will continue being a boring nobody. 4 people waiting at the airport.

 

If we are going to measure a man on ticket sales rather than belts/wins/ability :/

The football crowd is (was ?) massive for Matchroom, if you go into the cheap seats ( I was at Chisora v Whyte 2) no one seems to have a clue about boxing whatsoever. Just on the lash and in the toilets sniffing.

Be more interesting now Eddie has moved to DAZN what sort of impact it will have on Matchroom sales, the Wallin/Whyte was flopping sales wise massively. Chisora/Parker 2 also had the top tier closed off. Granted Covid has taken some sales away but it can't be just that.

But the most important stats in it all are:

Fury took 2 opportunities to fight for titles - Whyte turned 1 down for no apparent reason, and is dragging his heels now in another

Fury has beaten 2 long running champions - Whyte zero.

Fury is a 2 time champion of the world - Whyte zero

Fury is unbeaten - Whyte has had a little nappy nap twice in fights.

 

Manuel Charr as a potential opponent according to Arrum.

Why am I not surprised.

 

Disgraceful.

Fury fans will spin this as a positive, in just another chapter in the greatness of Fury's saga as p4p boxer hall of famer.
