Only Florida nikkas get to say its over for Thurminator.
He'll be back.
I think...
I’m sure Thurman will have at least one fight in 2020 and then shut it down until 2021.
i want to hear about some fights being signed though. Too many nyggas out here sitting around with nothing signed.

That’s a disappointing number...
But I remember reading last week they needed 600k to break even

Think he said it needed 800-850k to break even...
"Initially, the belief was that Wilder-Fury 2 needed to do between 1 million and 1.1 million homes for the fight to break-even, but Arum says with closed circuit sales (think: bars, restaurant chains) and gate receipts coming in higher than the models anticipated, break-even is now between 800,000 and 850,000 buys. "We projected $1.65 million in closed circuit sales and as of Wednesday, [revenues] were over $3 million; [the final number] will probably end up over $4 million. We expected the gate to to come in at $12 million or $13 million and [the event is going to do] over $16 million.”
That probably means both didn't get much more than their guaranteed purse, the 3rd fight may do less cause I'm not sure as many people have the belief in Wilder after the 2nd fight now.

They did a lot of buys for a PPV. 1M buys are superstar numbers, and neither Wilder or Fury are that. I view them as boxing stars, that can do good business together, but I don’t view them as superstars.
What Boxing PPV’s have reached 1M without a superstar headlining?
I understand your perspective, because I can see how someone can view the fight itself as a 1M PPV type of fight, despite neither guy being a superstar. If they map out a plan, a third time could be a charm. These guys have managed to create an interesting rivalry to the general public.
