EDDIE HEARN believes that Tyson Fury's trio with Deontay Wester will prove to be a box-office flop because there is 'zero buzz about' the fight.

Eddie Hearn does not see their fight as a box-office success.

Fury fought back against the American in February's rematch to win the WBC heavyweight title.

Hearn, chief of Matchroom Boxing, believes that The Gypsy King's victory will have a negative effect on pay per view sales.

He said to iFL TV, "Look at Fury Wilder; they're giving out tickets." They are lowering prices and that is one of the most important fights in real life.

He said, "It won’t do a five-million dollar gate." Because there are not many Brits traveling.

"So, in America, the fight [Fury-Wilder III] is not a huge fight. What is America? Between two and three hundred thousand.

"There is zero buzz [for Fury - Wilder] That's not all I am saying.

"There is zero buzz about that fight, because Fury [Fury] absolutely destroyed Wilder in the second fight.

"He beat him in the first bout as well.

"The second fight seemed like a mismatch. It just doesn't seem to be able to do the numbers.

Hearn believes that Bob Arum, Top Rank chief promoter, will be disappointed by the fight's numbers.

The 42-year old continued, "Someone is going have egg on their faces."

"I don’t know the details, but it won’t look good when the balance sheet comes in.

"Fury vs. Wilder3" will likely do well both at the gate as on PPV.

"It wasn't helped that Wilder was completely dominated by Fury in the last year, but it may not matter.

"If they can promote it in the last weeks before October 9th, then it should do well."

Hearn predicts Fury will win easily at the office, saying that while he still believes Fury will win comfortably, it does raise the possibility of Fury making a mistake.

What does Tyson Fury and Deontay Wester look like before the trio fight?

"Mistakes against Deontay wilder could lead to your defeat. He is very dangerous.

"I don’t see Fury losing a round. But it doesn’t really matter. It's possible to make one mistake and win.

"I hope he wins, because I want the WBC order Fury - [Dillian] Whyte."
