Why isn't the third fight between Fury and Wilder in Britain?

    My guess would be ppv issues.its not going to sell as well. It was ppv in the UK but it's a much lower cost.
    Would probably be a **** time for the u.s market.
    Wilder was received very well In uk when he came last time though.
    Crowds of fans swamping him and obviously fury is very popular

    For Fury the money is in Vegas, he's no Joshua, Wilder isn't Joshua and he isn't fighting Joshua.

    The Vegas judges even scored the fight fairly, against Wilder, which for Vegas standards is completely insane! So he doesn't have to fear much of getting shafted again either.
    The ridiculous $80 PPV prices (won't surprise me one bit if the rematch is even more expensive because of the "event" status) with a lot of buys will clearly outperform what the fight would do in the UK, certainly now the Wilder bubble bursted.
    Fury vs Joshua should be in the UK, but Fury vs Wilder should remain in the US (Vegas) now.

    It is not in the UK because the Americans (ie Vegas) can outbid the British and host it domestically.

    Casino money, PPV upside, higher PPV revenue, more amenities, higher ticket prices etc

    All done and said, the Americans - for this fight anyway - can generate an extra $100m+ in revenue for this fight in all likelihood.

    Aside from having a better atmosphere and lager stadiums, there is little else Britain can offer .......

    No casinos, smaller hotels, no "party atmosphere", very expensive food, sh*t weather etc etc

    Fury won’t get robbed again, he brings in a lot of revenue + Wilder has a defeat on his record so arranging robberies in his favor will be far more difficult

    I think Fury has a personal disdain for UK, because of the way they treated him when he beat Klitchko, they shunned him, because he was a gypsy... he's always held a grudge against that, that Britain turned away from him, all when AJ was knighted met the Queen ETC.... Fury didn't get that treatment.. Also I believe Fury never received a BBBoC license.
