At Wembley Stadium Joshua vs Fury Bellew vs Haye Callum Smith vs Degale Brook vs Khan Flanagan vs Crolla In Vegas Wilder vs Ortiz Ward v Kovalev Canelo vs GGG Thurman vs Spence Postol vs Crawford Overall money gained from all sources - which card rakes in the most?
Probably not a huge difference but Vegas by a nose purely down to Canelo/GGG. If it was Canelo v A.N.Other, Wembley would beat it by a mile.
Not many of the other fighters on that Vegas bill will sell many PPV's alone though, the Wembley one would do very well at the box office IMO.
If the UK had the same population as the US then Wembley card would win but purely because their is more people in the US the Vegas card wins. Wembley card is better though.
I don't think theres much in it. Canelo swings it but the UK is a goldmine at the moment and the casuals would go mental for the Haye and Joshua/Fury fights, nevermind Brook etc. You could probably charge a record PPV fee and sell out wembley with record prices etc. GGG, Thurman, Spence, Wilder, Ward, etc etc dont generate half as much as AJ.
Id honestly pay 100 pound for either of them cards on ppv, there has never been a nighybof boxing like that. Will never happen though , Joshua vs fury would sell out Wembley on its own, you would never see a stacked card like that However if you wanted to elevate British boxing to a new level it would be the card to do it
The purse for the UK card would cost over £100m. Sell out Wembley average ticket cost £125 gets you £11m. 2m buys at £60 each gets you £120m Sponcers in at £10m Give it to network for free and tell them your keeping all PPV money and they make their money on adverts between rounds. But no one will pay that in the uk
£10m EACH?!? No chance. Half that and you'd get change. Do you honestly think Bellew, Smith, Degale, Flanagan and Crolla would get anything like half of that?!! No way. Regardless those massive purses will be based on a PPV share so not as risky as you suggest for a promoter. I believe people would pay £60 for that card, too.
Joshua vs Fury - £40m Bellew vs Haye - £5m Callum Smith vs Degale - £10m Brook vs Khan - £25m Flanagan vs Crolla - £5m How's that sound?
Unrealistic, IMO. There's no way Joshua and Fury would demand a £40m split purse, nor Brook and Khan £25m. Froch and Groves only shared £10m!
Joshua fury 20 mil Bellew. Haye 7 mil Smith degale 5mil Brook Khan 12 mil Flanagan Crolla 3 mil That many ppl in early prob wouldn't last till main event. 🍻😜
Tyson Lewis fight was worth 50m back them survey this has to be worth 40m fury is loved in US and AJ starting to make a name for himself over their. As for brook khan, Eddie offerd khan 10m for fight so give Keller 15m cos he's champ
Tyson v Lewis was incomparable then to Fury v Joshua now. Fury isn't anything like as popular in the US, and Joshua is still largely unknown. Tyson was/is thought of as one of, if not the, best heavyweights of all time, as was/is Lewis and Lewis held all the belts that mattered at the time. It's not even close to comparing like for like. This is a smaller fight at present than Froch v Groves 2.
