Will S*y see Fury Wilder as potential PPV?

It sell alright.

 

Hell no.

Fury was never a PPV fighter to begin with.

 

No one in the uk knows who Wilder is.

While Fury is better known due to C5, he is not ppv

 

Not a PPV fight but would be a good fight on SS1 and keep the date at the Manchester Arena for Feb 8th.

 

Fury still has to fight on Channel 5 I believe- the proposed Box Office fight/s were an exception negotiated by Hennessey. If I'm being honest I don't think Sky would have that much interest in Fury as is until he reaches the mandatory position with one of the world bodies. For that to happen he'd have to leave Hennessey which I don't see happening short term.

 

I dont think anyone in the US knows who is Wilder is as well.

:yep

 

Nobody in the USA even knows who Wilder is.

Even a brief look at Twitter will show that an 'apparent' future HW Champ 30-0 fighter like Wilder has 26,000 followers, and Fury, in the UK has 183,000 followers.

It's not PPV.

 

It would be a hard sell on PPV, can't imagine Sky showing repeated clips of Wilder knocking out Audley and Fury knocking out Cruiserweight Cunningham as a reason to purchase. Fury's mouth in overdrive is reason for the mute button not the PPV one.

 

Not PPV but a very interesting fight. However even if fury wins it he will still be no closer to a title

 

Don't even know why this is been mentioned. Fury is young, undefeated, has power and is a good boxer. In short, everything that Wilder's opponents aren't.


Look for Wilder to fight Prizefighter winner Michael Sprott instead.

 

The only way Fury gets on PPV now is for a title fight.

 

This could be really hyped for a Channel 5 Saturday night event bringing back Benn v Eubank audience levels

 

No way is Fury Wilder PPV worthy.

 

Heard the presenter on Sky earlier refer to the M.E.N. Arena as the venue for Froch Groves.

God knows how much money phones4u spunked on that thing and everyone still calls it the M.E.N.

On the other hand phones4u are only known for that horrible advert where that sinister looking guy with a touch of the child molester about his features did that hand signal whilst saying phones, 4, u.

The only problem was it was so hard to master that hand signal, everyone had a quick go at it then realised it was really fiddly and frustrating and gave up. phones4u have since been associated with that horrible hand gesture and it's frustrating characteristics. I hear the weird guy from that advert plays abuse criminals on crimewatch reconstructions now?

Slightly off topic but my mate danny managed to master that hand signal but he put in around 100hrs practice before he had it perfect.
