I think I read they did 1.1 on PPV which was down from the first fight.
Interesting that Fury/Wilder is going to LA not Vegas.
This means ticket prices are going to be a LOT less as they aren't getting the high rollers in and it's only around a 20k seat stadium.
It'll be very interesting to see how this does as Wilder/Ortiz did 1.1 on FREE TV and chances of them getting a 1:1 conversion from free TV to a $100 ppv are miniscule.
I think we are looking at 375k ppv being generous and a $3 mil gate
So we are looking at $40m generated in a perfect world but of course you have to take half of that immediately out to the broadcaster, then take taxes and site fee etc.
I think Fury and wilder come away with $10m each.
Nice money but compare that to AJ and it's not even half.
PLUS Fury and wilder can ONLY make that money vs each other, where AJ can make 2-3x that vs anyone
This is where AJ vs the winner runs into trouble because Frank Warren has already said he wants 50/50 for Fury and that's just not going to happen.
