Thank god Wilder is being bypassed

Agreed but i guess thats why they are trying to take a less risky fight in order to get there

Could go very wrong however

 

He is refusing to look past the trilogy fight

Fury has options

Wilder not so much

 

We'll see. Joshua isn't a draw in the U.S., and took a dump the only time he fought here, so the UK PPV price for Fury-Joshua will have to be jacked up to U.S. PPV levels to compensate ... and we'll see how many £65 PPVs they sell in the UK with people complaining about that. And then it might take place in the Middle East, because it will need a large site fee, so that will raise some complaints in the UK. And Fury won't take the same purse Ruiz settled for, so everything involved in the fight will cost a lot more than any Joshua fight previously.

When all is said and done, it may not even make more than than Wilder-Fury II globally.

 

That's a normal PPV price in the US. Why is "the very idea" ridiculous? They didn't start that high here, either. The first PPVs were $20.

You think for the biggest UK heavyweight fight Bob Arum won't charge what he "normally" charges in the U.S.?

LOL. Wake the hell up.

And do you think Fury or Joshua will want to take the same purse they make for fighting lesser opponents? It's easy to make tens of millions when your opponents aren't. When you have to split the purse 50-50, and your opponent isn't a typical challenger, they'll want a bump in guaranteed money, too. Joshua won't want to earn the same as he'd make against Pulev. He'll want more for Fury. Fury will want the same as Joshua, at minimum. So the costs more than double.

All that adds up.

Hell, Bob charged £77 in the U.S. for Mayweather-Pac.

You guys have gotten off easy so far. Welcome to Bob Arum's PPV. (LOL)

Fury-Kabayel might be your last cheap night.

 

Anyone who thinks Bob Arum wouldn't charge $85 for a PPV isn't living in this century.

That's what they cost here. How is it fantasy? It's been the price for years.

Have you noticed PPV prices in the UK going up over the years? Same thing happened here.

Arum can't wait to charge you what they charge us. And this is the opportunity to do that. It's not fantasy. That's how it works. And when the price goes up, that's where it stays, until it goes up again.

You guys aren't special. You're going to get charged just like we do. Especially when you'll be the primary audience for that fight.

 

It's free on ESPN here. LOL Thanks for ponying up.

 

Chisora is a ranked fighter and it got him a ranking. So yeah, he is a legit voluntary.

 

I look forward to all the outraged "I can't believe how much they are charging" threads.

 

Beating a gate keeper in chisora makes you legit. Got it

 

You just don't read. I didn't try.

I didn't try.

I am a REAL boxing fan. I appreciate skills, not necessarily "excitement." That is for casuals.

It is a false metric. I didn't try.
