No doubts about it Joshua has done tremendous with ppv over the years,(not so sure about USA) however everything has a beginning and also an end so without any belts now and millions of people World wide who witnessed him eventually show his true colours after the Usyk rematch could this effect his star drawing power ? There is a lot riding on this fight with Fury should it happen and should he lose where does he go from there ?
AJ is still going to be a big draw, no matter of the loses, and especially now, going from a tough fight to tough fight, and without proper rest/recover and without full camp. Fury was training his *** off, and it's unbelievable shape, he was never retired, and that was his intention to draw either Usyk/AJ with his talk, and AJ took the bait. And Miniq that delete his post, cause he knew he messed up. Hey but, tell us Fury numbers in the USA pls. Fury numbers without Wilder in the USA are absolutely crap. He couldn't sell even an 18% of the capacity of 20k. WBN reports is reporting that NSAC had revealed that the live gate at the T-Mobile Arena for the fight sold only 3,577 actual tickets, which is just shy of 18% of the venue’s 20,000 capacity. 3,989 complimentary tickets were said to be handed out. Fury guarantee fee against Wallin was 1m$, and : gate pulled in a total of $999,722.50, less than a f***** million. So Miniq don't embarrass yourself next time. Fury needed Wilder to actually get big money, and do some good numbers in 1-2, and fight number 3 didn't do great. Fury and Whyte did sell Wembley probably, but their PPV numbers stinks. He did less than 40k. on ESPN, but yeah he is a big USA draw .... And this is not dig at Fury. This is dig at the crybabies that were saying that the so call 60-40 is more than generous, and what could have AJ did if it wasn't Fury. The question is what is actually Fury going to do, cause he pull s**** numbers even with the bell. AJ is doing big numbers, no matter the opponent. And he would still have do great numbers in China against Zhang Zhilei, great numbers against Hrgovic, and probably solid numbers against Whyte. Joshua vs Whyte did 420k., before AJ was the superstar he currently is, with or without the belts. 500k. against Martin 512k against Breazeale 450k against Molina 887k against Takam 400k. against Ruiz 1(1,575m in the rematch btw) 948k. against Pulev This is his lowest numbers, against not so great opponents. 1.832m. against Parker 1.631m. against Klitschko 1.575m. against Ruiz 2 1.232m. against Usyk 1.249m. against Usyk 2 I expect Fury to do over 2m. for sure. Also last time i checked Fury is not allowed to go to the USA. So yeah Fury definitely need AJ to make big money, way more than AJ need him.
89 Dollars is just unthinkable. I live in Eastern Europe country where in my domain the average salary is about 700-800 dollars a month. 89 Dollars would represent more than 10 percent my salary. Even splitting it between 10 friends would not be worth it. I mean for 4-5 Dollars you can go see outstanding Ice hockey game live, forget about paying 89 for watching a fight....
They'll get there eventually but they need to turn the heat up slowly so the frog doesn't jump out of the pan. They're putting it up incrementally by £5 every time there's a big fight. So Fury V Joshua will be £35 or so. Give it a decade and we'll be paying American prices for PPVs.
Fury V Whyte would have suffered from the fact that Whyte is useless. The real question is would Fury V Usyk draw 1.2m buys?
@lordlosh Hey I know I live rent free in both AJ's mind and your mind but don't call out my name if you aren't willing to have a bareknuckle. This content is protected History does not care about PPV numbers. That's for the ***** Floyd Mayweather era of boxing fans. I'm a Thrilla in Manila type of guy. Rumble in the Jungle. Johnsons Fight of the Century. The list goes on. PPV jut like P4P is for wet wipes who's boxing "star" gets chinned every 5 seconds. Canelo, AJ etc. After Fury has changed AJ's diaper and kissed Usyk to sleep nobody will care. PPV became irrelevant about 5 years ago when the Saudi government decided sports washing would be a fun hobby vital to their economy. Fury has got 60:40 and AJ is getting an ass whooping. Tyson Fury runs the show.
If Fury and Joshua fight I would expect it to be sold to the UK market for 34£ and then that becomes the standard for all PPVs to follow. Another so called super fight in 5 years and the price goes up another tenner and so on and so fourth.
Not every Eastern European country in Ukraine. But indeed I am very lucky with this amount of money where I am
Yeah i think so, because the stake is Undisputed, and both are undefeated. But Warren undercard is utter s****, which **** a lot of people off. I'm still amazed that Fury vs Whyte didn't produce big numbers. Yeah Whyte lost to Povetkin definitely hurt, but Whyte has some very solid PPV in the UK. Also this was the returning fight for Fury.
Then you shouldn't have talk about Fury in the USA market. Cause Fury needed Wilder(and vice versa) to do some serious numbers and earn some serious money. And this ain't a fight talk. This is purely PPV talk.
I think he maybe is from Bulgaria. But then he should not complain at all about PPV, cause he watch everything free.
No one knows AJ in the US except for the DAZN Hearn nut kickers Barak and AK. I get that the fight would be huge in the UK but with only 1 belt on the line I don't see big PPV numbers over here.
