Tyson Fury’s promoter Bob Arum respond to Anthony Joshua’s brags of acquiring bigger crowds than ‘The Gypsy King.’
Arum said that, Anthony Joshua’s Gate Revenue does not match Tyson Fury
Arum says that Joshua’s huge hordes of 70,000+ fans don’t get similar income as Fury’s ongoing battles against Deontay Wilder, which had an entryway over $17 million.

IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Joshua has begun name-dropping Fury’s name with barely seven days to go before his defense against Kubrat Pulev on December 12th.
Apparently Joshua’s consistent discussing Fury is a determined move to get confining fans more intrigued his battle against Pulev.
Joshua is utilizing perhaps the most seasoned stunt in the book to attempt to siphon up interest in his match against the 39-year-old Pulev.
“There are crowds, and there’s money,” Arum said to IFL TV in reacting to Joshua saying that Fury doesn’t bring in big crowds like him.
“With all due respect to the 80 or 90,000 people, I think it’s closer to 70 [thousand] that have watched his [Joshua] fights, whether it’s Cardiff, and I was there when he fought Joseph Parker.
“Yeah, there are big crowds, but look at the gate revenue. Tyson Fury and Wilder at the MGM [in Las Vegas] in February did a gate of more than 17 million dollars, and Joshua hasn’t come close to a gate of that magnitude.
“If I charge five pounds a seat for a fight against you, I could probably get 100,000 people.
“It all depends on how much you charge for a ticket. Again, Joshua hasn’t come close to the gate revenue that Fury did with Wilder in Las Vegas,” said Arum.
