Does AJ vs Wilder do more UK PPV buys than AJ vs Parker/Takam

One point you don't seem to acknowledge is that if AJ vs Wilder does more PPV, it's in large part due to the prior good work AJ and Hearn have done in putting on the previous nights, delivering the spectacle and growing the audience.

How on earth do you justify that?

 

Eddie Hearn will sell Wilder to the UK public like he's Iron Mike Tyson, a killer. The UK casuals who don't already know wilder will see that record and the fact that all the belts are on the line.....

Makes ALOT of UK buys.

Eddie Hearn could sell presents to Santa Claus

 

Impossible to say, as Wilder's never been on PPV, so there's no hard data to judge.

He has the potential to draw higher numbers, as he's a beltholder and a loudmouth yank with a huge KO ratio, and those things can be easily marketed, but whether he actually does so is a pure guessing game. That's all there is to it at this stage.

 

Tbh i thought the parker fight was poorly marketed. Considering it was a unification it was fairly under the radar.

I think this fight does more because hearn will put more effort into the promotion.

 

Yes, but not much more if they promote the fight correctly. I think everyone will enjoy watching Joshua knock Wilder out in a mismatch, but Wilder will not fight Joshua, he is too afraid of getting knocked out!

 

I can definitely make a case why Wilder could draw higher numbers than Parker, but like I said we literally have zero idea how much of a PPV draw he is or what sort of PPV money he'll bring in. There are tons of fighters I think are super exciting that don't draw as much as guys I find boring as hell. There's no real way to know how a fighter performs until they do it.

Casuals were talking more about Joshua vs Wilder? Where are the figures to back that up? Poll results etc? Until you provide more than unsubstantiated comments your whole argument is groundless. What don't you understand about that?

 

It should do more buys simply as it would be sold as two men fighting for all of the trinkets, which is something easier to sell to the casuals. Doing a poll on here is pointless though, as everyone on this board knows who the fighters are as we're all fans, so really a public poll would be the only semi-accurate way to gauge the level of interest.

 

Wilder has been more pushed by sky sports than parker has plus it will be seen as a more even fight, plus don’t underestimate the appeal to casuals of a fight taking place at Wembley if it does happen at Wembley and not Cardiff unlike takam and parker fight.

 

Question for the OP:

If AJ is making $20M per fight against Parker and Takam, and Wilder $2.5M against Stiverne and Ortiz

Then how much should they each make when they face each other?

 

It would likely do the same numbers AJ v Wlad did. Around that number anyway which is why Wilder has been offered substantially more than what Parker got.

 

Didn't you know AJ isn't expected to earn more. His expected to take more risk for the same money or a little bit extra while Wilder should get a much larger payday than usual.

That's eastside logic
