    The money this fight will make through the Brit TV audience will be huge, the Saudi`s are moving in on boxing and Hearn simply went to the highest bidder, the Saudi`s havemore cash than anybody else and Hearn already stated they will become the big movers in boxing in the future just like how they have taken overr soccer, the Saudi`s have money to burn.

    People should stop talking nonseses. No one is going to give Wilder 10, 15 or 20 mil. No one is going to give you more than 3-4 mil. step aside money.
    Fury is better getting in court, and even if he lost, he will probably lose less than what that imbecile Wilder team want.

    Yeah this has basically become my take too. Am I disappointed we aren't getting Fury vs Joshua? Sure, it sucks (unless you're Wilder or one of his fanboys).

    But as long as these fights get sorted out quickly and don't drag on for months and months then at least that is something that resembles a consolation.

    If they drag on for months though, jeez, put a fork in Boxing as it's done.

    They must've burned it all then. Because they never delivered the site fee. (LOL)

    And it doesn't matter how big the British TV audience is if they charge the Brits a quarter of the price they charge everyone else.

    Money makes headlines. Say someone will pay $155 million for Joshua-Fury, and people who don't pay attention to boxing go "OH! This must be important."

    Take away the $155 million, and tell Brits "we need a couple million of you to pay £75 to watch Fury-Joshua on PPV" and they'd laugh you out of the room.

    The Brits won't spend the money on PPV like everyone else does. That's why the Brits need a Saudi to bankroll the whole thing. If it was as big a fight as you claim, no Saudi oil man would be required to make it.

    It wouldn't be dead in the water when one Saudi guy didn't pay up.

    You think Joshua and Fury can make $75 million each without Saudi money? I look forward to seeing that.

    AJ is a bigger star than Wilder.

    A bigger star at what? Selling sports equipment, you're probably right.

    But don't charge more than £30 for one of his PPVs, or everyone turns on him. (LOL)

    You said Wilder Fury 3 will be bigger than any UFC. That is incorrect. Clearly.

    Wilder is not that big a name and used AJ`s name to gain fame by constantly calling him out.

    Any fight McGregor is involved in will be far bigger than Fury v Wilder 3, I don`t think it will have a lot of hype at all, I certainly won`t be paying to see it.

    The Conor fight in July will easily be bigger.

    I am not buying the PPV. Fury has really let me down.

    Nope.

    Wilder-Fury 3 will cost more on PPV. Have a larger live gate (it's in the Los Angeles Raiders football stadium). And it will sell about an equal number of PPVs, but generate far more money overall.
