Fury vs Wilder 3 Stats, Facts & Fight PursesFury vs Wilder 3 Stats, Facts & Fight Purses

Wilder vs Fury 2 Stats (See the Fight Page)

Fury vs Wilder 3 Odds

Per BetOnline, Mar 2, 2020
Fury -260
Wilder +220

Hence, a successful $100 bet on Wilder would net $220 while a successful $220 wager on the champion would net $100.

Question: Why are the opening odds closer many would have expected?

Answer: Given fight No. 2 was one-sided and most believe Fury outpointed Wilder in their first fight fight (a draw), one might think the Fury vs Wilder 3 betting line would be huge. But it's not, because Wilder is still 42-1-1, 41 KOs and still possesses one of the best weapons in the history of boxing - his right hand.

Odds history
Fury was slightly favored for about a year prior to Wilder vs Fury 2; However, the odds flipped about 4-6 days prior to Fight No. 2 and Wilder became the favorite due to rumors of Fury having had a poor training camp and Tyson's confirmation of ankle issues.

UNIBET and BETDAQ had Wilder as the thin betting favorite at 17/20 and 20/21, respectively, with Fury at 21/20. Also, betfair liked Deontay 20/21 to Tyson's 21/20. And the popular William Hill placed Wilder at a -125 favorite while Fury was a +100 underdog.

Until the week of the fight, odds resembled the below:
Wilder +105 (21/20)
Fury -125 (4/5)

Fury vs Wilder 3 Stats

2 of 19? Some say Wilder has clearly won just 2 of the 19 rounds they've fought, insisting the rest were either won by Fury or could have gone either way.
4: Entering Fight No.3, the fighters have equally split 4 knockdowns between them.

Fury vs Wilder 3 Purse

Per the Fury vs Wilder 2 contract, the winner of their second bout would gain a 60-40 purse split for Fight No.3. Hence, Fury will receive 60 percent of this fight's purse sums to Wilder's 40 percent.

Both guys earned at least $25 Million for their rematch but it's difficult see how an immediate third match could generate the same money, given Fury vs Wilder 2 was so one-sided and the fact many believed Tyson deserved to win their first fight as well.

Purses history:
For their first rematch, Fury vs Wilder 2, there was a 50-50 purse split and the fighter's received at least $25 Million USD apiece plus a certain percentage of PPV revenue.

Wilder vs Fury 2 Contract: There's a clause in the Wilder vs Fury 2 contract stating the loser is entitled to an immediate rematch. In fact, the idea of a Fury-Wilder trilogy has been bantered since Tyson and Deontay drew with each other in December 2018.

After losing the rematch, Wilder chose to enforce the contract.

Fury vs Wilder 3 PPV Buys

TBD

PPV buys history

Wilder vs Fury 2, Feb 2020
Their second fight generated an estimated 1.1-1.2 million buys (at $79.99 per purchase) according to Bob Arum per WorldBoxingNews.net.

“In regards to the Fury vs Wilder (II) Pay-Per-View, they don’t have the digital numbers yet, Arum stated in late February to WorldBoxingNews.net. The digital is well over 300,000 buys."

"It’s probably sort of accurate (the initial reports of 850,000 PPV buys). But then you add in the digital on top of that. So three hundred and change (to 850,000). It’s closer to 1.2 million.”

And according to Chris Mannix, digital buys through ESPN+ and the FOX Sports app saved the night, doing better than expected. Traditional cable underperformed.

Wilder vs Fury 1
Their first fight, a draw, generated about 325,000 buys (at $74.99 per purchase).

Big Questions / Key TakeawaysBig Questions / Key Takeaways

Floyd Mayweather
Will Floyd help train Wilder?
BoxingScene.com
"If I train him! If I train him, I can teach him how to win!"

"Win, lose or draw ... Deontay is our brother that has accomplished many triumphs and as a community we should all uplift and support him throughout it all," Mayweather stated. "No matter what, you're still a winner in my eyes, King!"

Why did Team Wilder enforce the contract to force an immediate third fight? (FightSaga Theory)
It appears Wilder genuinely believes he was wronged by cornerman Mark Breland's surrender in the 7th Round of Fury vs Wilder 2. We've heard a few excuses from Wilder but the bottom line is Wilder was NOT literally KO'd by Fury so Deontay, in his heart, will always believe he could have knocked out Fury had the fight not been stopped.

Wilder entered that fight with one of the best heavyweight championship records of all time. He was 42-0-1, 41 knockouts. And in his first fight against KO artist Luis Ortiz, Wilder was clearly on the verge of being knocked out when he came back to knockout Ortiz a few rounds later.

Deontay Wilder has known nothing but success in boxing and is always a knockout threat with the monster right hand he harbours. So surely, an (arguably) premature surrender by a cornerman who wasn't even his head trainer isn't going to convince him he couldn't have won the fight. In fact, nothing will... Even his own mother wouldn't be able to.

But, can Team Wilder solve the Fury puzzle? Tough task...
Thus far, Deontay hasn't been able to outbox or outbrawl Fury and can't figure out how to generate any offense against the 6'9" Brit. In fact, some say Wilder has clearly won just 2 of the 19 rounds they've fought, insisting the rest were either won by Fury or could have gone either way.As for the only rounds they say Deontay clearly won, critics are referring to Rounds 7 and 12 of Fury vs Wilder 1 when Deontay scored a knockdown in each stanza.

Unless Team Wilder can quickly - and dramatically - alter it's game plan for Fury, an immediate rematch shouldn't even be considered.

How much was Wilder humbled by Fight No. 2?
Deontay Wilder's confidence and swagger play a large role in his success inside the ring and both were undoubtedly shaken in their second fight. Should have Team Wilder, instead of taking the immediate rematch, fed him a few tune-ups in an effort to rebuild Deontay's confidence and bring back the arrogance and in-ring devastation that's so much of his game?

Will the fighters' purses be much lower than for Fight No.2?
Both guys earned at least $25 Million for their rematch but it's difficult see how an immediate third match could generate the same money, given Fury vs Wilder 2 was so one-sided and the fact many believed Tyson deserved to win their first fight as well.

Wilder vs Fury 2 Predictions history
Most accurate expert prediction we could find:

Oleksandr Usyk - Fury
Former Lineal Cruiserweight Champion / Top 10 Pound for Pound Fighter / Top 10 Heavyweight
Courtesy of Ren TV

Usyk picked Fury previously and is even more assertive this time around. He seems to suggest he was impressed by Fury's performance in December 2018 and believes Fury will ride his skills, notably his footwork and upper body movement, to at least a points win.

“I preferred Tyson Fury in the first fight.In the second, I will probably be more inclined towards him."

“He has much more skills than Wilder. But Wilder is such an unpredictable guy who can hit at any moment.”
