    If Fury was paid 12.5 million, revenue would probably need to be around 17 million for the event to make money

    How in blue hell did this event make that kinda money ?

    Sometimes they will take a hit looking at the bigger picture. Knowing that Fury vs Wilder does big numbers and you reclaim some back. Then if he wins that the sky is the limit.

    I assume the money comes from ESPN, which is a group of subscription channels.

    The fight itself doesn't have to immediately generate the money.
    It's the total value added to the total product over a period of time, by having the top heavyweight as part of their package or portfolio.

    Believe it or not there are some UK PPV Mugths forking out £20 to watch this non event and never forget - the US PPV Mugths are the biggest mugths in the world.

    From British PPVs it probably did 100k sales which would be 2 million

    US and worldwide TV would be another few million

    Gate would be another couple of million

    All in all they wouldn't be losing too much

    12.5million for what was effectively an exhibition bout is crazy.

    He is so bad that he has been awarded Emiritus Pudding status and has been fast tracked into my Puddings Hall of Fame with framed photograph located between Charles Martin and Stiverne

    It doesn't. They are looking to make the money back and more with 2 PPVs with Wilder.
