    No build up required. Everyone knows their backstories. It is revenge time.

    Biggest prize on the line. The world heavyweight title.

    We are just in countdown mode.

    I don't think it will do as well as the 2nd fight as that fight had loads of hype due to the drama of the first fight, while the 2nd fight was just a one sided beat down from start to finish. I don't think US fans will tune in just to see Wilder get beat again. So probably somewhere between 600-800K.

    Most of his money comes from UK advertising. Not boxing. He is a salesman.

    England is half the size of California. Big fish. Small pond.

    Not true

    The fight purses out weigh his sponsors , although they are very profitable yes

    Wilder has hardly any such sponsors in a country that as you say huge compared to the US

    Surely in a bigger country, more opportunity should arise no? id wager yes but not too many people want to pay him for endorsements

    Anyway you said Wilder was more known worldwide , your wrong

    Get over it

    Just shows you how tiny and irrelevant boxing is in the US when the UK has bigger PPV and attendance numbers for most major fights

    There was more drama after the rematch and in the lead up to this fight.

    They aren't tuning in to watch Wilder get beaten again. It is a big fight here because people want to see him win and score a ko.

    The people who keep running this fight down are the people who fear Fury will lose. Not that they think he will win easy again.

    When did Wilder get such a huge fan base that are looking to cheer him on to a victory?

    Oh you mean the FUBU youtubers?

    Thats total nonsense dude. There was only drama over Wilders lies and excuses. People are not interested because Wilder already lost twice. There is a very small group of US fans that want to see Wilder get "revenge" on Fury but most fans I talk too dont care about a 3rd fight. I will make a week ban bet with you that the PPV numbers are at least 20% down on fight 2

    500k

    There isn't that much interest in this fight. If they get 500k , thats not bad

    Wilder isn't a product endorser. He is a fighter. People tune in to watch him fight.

    You can tell them apart because one never quit even with injuries requiring surgery, and the other quit with no injuries against a late sub, then grabbed mic and thanked everyone for coming.

    That is why we are getting this fight and not the other. Because Wilder wouldn't quit pursuing a rematch.

    Hearn has to look elsewhere to put big fights on because the UK is a limited market.

    Their PPVs and ticket prices are a fraction of what they go for in the U.S. And Joshua can make his $30 million in the UK. But the opponent can't get parity. There isn't enough money. Can't sell enough tickets. Can't charge what is required.

    Hell, they needed a Saudi oil guy for Andy Ruiz to get a bump in the Joshua rematch.

    The UK is stuck with Joshua-Takam, Joshua-Pulev, or Joshua vs. whoever won't ask for 60-40 or 50-50.

    Because they can't pay both top dollar. The fans won't pay for it.

    Trust me, a lot depends on how the two sell the fight in the press conferences and the drama bw them. I predict Wilder shouting at the top of his lungs, I am going to decapitate you and Fury smiling and mocking away

    I see Wilder getting his Revenge. I think Fury is a Little over confident, and wont train properly thinking Wilder is easier pickings than the 2nd fight, only to get caught with a straight right from hell, thats puts that undertaker wanabe in his casket!
