Michael Buffer spills the beans about the Wilder v Fury ticket sales

Very true that's da fight I'm very interested in Mark Ant . It will make heap's of money from all over da World way way more than da first Fight , everything about it is going through da roof sky high . I'm just glad we didn't have to wait until next year ..

 

The first fight between the two was good. Will Fury continue to outbox Wilder or will Wilder knock Fury out for the count this time. Obviously Wilder-Fury is a highly anticipated rematch compared to Joshua-Miller where I think Joshua is a heavy favourite to win.

The A side is AJ. A unified champion who makes more money than any other heavyweight boxer.

 

I'm not sure you point tbh as you make little to no sense.. Fury Wilder and AJ are generally considered the top 3, Miller top 10..

So two of the top 3 fighting each other should by rights generate far more than the other fighting a low top 10 opponent.. Especially now Fury and Wilder had a fight which Fury won but was subject to home town cooking which made the fight interesting and the rematch..

It not comparing apples to apples to compare these two fights..

Now if they do similar numbers which I'd expect then I'm not sure how anyone could argue Wilder is remotely close to a 'A' side to AJ. Fury is a far bigger story compared to Miller and far more known internationally .

Really given the Mayweather - Mc Gregor antics before the fight if it was a success at all it would have done 500+k buys at a minimum given two of the top 3 guys were fighting.. How often does that really happen these days..

For Wilder to be considered the 'A' side over AJ he would need to do AJ numbers in his home market...

 

This is where you're wrong.

Boxing is huge in the UK right now. Freaking George Groves sold out Wembley but when he fought in the U.S. in Vegas against Badou Jack, people didn't bother to leave the craps tables to see him.

Hell, Logan Paul, a Youtuber, sold out a stadium fighting another Youtuber with headgear on.

I don't know how that "proves" Joshua is a huge draw. On the contrary, that kind of hurts his case (if those other guys can do the same thing).

Everyone keeps saying Wilder and Fury II could sell out Wembley. That's great. I'm sure they could.

The U.S. market is a tougher nut to crack.

Let's see how many people buy tickets to the Joshua-Miller fight and watch on DAZN and order the PPV in the UK at 4 a.m. and compare that to how many people buy tickets to Wilder-Fury II, watch the fight on PPV and order it on PPV in the UK at 4 a.m.

If Joshua is the legit bigger boxing draw "in the world" - as Hearn insists he is - let's see how Joshua does going against the guys who are his top rivals right now (Wilder and Fury).

Everything is set up for MORE people to watch Joshua-Miller.

The DAZN app is a helluva lot cheaper than Wilder-Fury PPV.

Miller is from NY (neither Wilder nor Fury are).

Joshua is supposedly this guy who can't walk down the street because he's got so many social media followers and endorsements.

So let's see Joshua prove it by outselling Wilder-Fury II.

According to his reputation, Joshua's fight with Miller should blow Wilder-Fury II out of the water.

But I don't think he'll do it.

 

Michael Buffer lets Matchroom staff write tweets from his own account, it’s probably in his contract.

You can actually tell which ones aren’t written by him. It’s almost as embarrassing as when “he” went on about how Joshua has a ‘perfect record’ because he doesn’t have a draw.

He comes across as a nasty piece of work on twitter. He has some very basic opinions on politics and always makes comments on the personal appearance of politicians he doesn’t like. All the while as if he himself hasn’t spent a fortune on having work done.

 

I'd be watching both fights but I'd be more interested in the Fury vs Wilder rematch personally. Fury vs Wilder 2 is definitely the main event of the upcoming fights and it would be hard to overshadow that.

 

Canelo is the biggest cash cow , joshua does not even come close . Canelo vs GGG does more than AJ with anybody.

 

Spot on!

To be honest I blame the various promoters, public arguments over purse splits just plain anger me.. I don't care. Make the damn fight. This is definitely a modern thing, it didn't happen in the past.

 

I said this from the beginning about misleading sales, but yet again people called me delusional.

Every time I open my mouth, I get called crazy.

They did not do big numbers, it was inflated and a lot of tickets were given away for free.

 

Your ignoringvalid points and sticking to this whole Wilder vs Joshua thing. There is not doubt that Joshua is the number one draw in the heavyweight division. If he isnt in America it doesnt mean he is not number 1 in the world. Joshua in his career has generated more revenue the Wilder or Fury have, probably combined. You cant then say well he hasnt done it in America and its easy in the UK when Wilder has only got one semi decent PPV to his name in US which Fury did most of the leg work selling and Joshua isnt even on a PPV platform. We could be here all day if it isnt looked at logically. I could bring up random things like AJ's 8m instagram followers to Wilder's 1m as his worldwide reputation being bigger. But it proves nothing. AJ brings the revenue in the UK and US purely as DAZN will back him on that fight and 3 of the 4 belts.

 

The hate Buffer is getting on twitter is laughable. People actually think his just making the numbers up.

His simply got them from the state commission report.

Why the boxing websites have all ignored this report I have no idea.

 

The rematch will far exceed anything joshua can muster via obvious avoidance of the top HWs.

 

I remember people on here claiming the first fight would generate more revenue than what AJ does. Predictions 500K buys, 700k even a million.

Remember that ridiculous PR they put out about the fight selling 1 million dollars worth of tickets on day 1. What kind of nonsense was that about.
