Got a source for that? I don't remember them being released, I only recall people making estimates, nothing official.It was in a number of tabloid articles after the Valuev fight. I am just guessing that Haye's team leaked some numbers to the press because the Valuev numbers were outstanding.
Either they are published or leaked or they aren't. I don't think these can be estimated in any reliable fashion but maybe I am wrong
Seems they released the Valuev PPV numbers because they were exceptionally good and it was good marketing for Haye, especially in the US. Showing how much pulling power he has with the UK audience.
But if they do not release the Ruiz numbers then I guess we can safely assume the numbers fell somewhat short of expectations.
wonder what haye's % of each ppv buy.
in england the ppv r £15 (around $25) and haye gets £5 from each one bought. which means he got £4.5 million for the valeuv fight.
forgot 2 mention, in britian its being said tht the fight did 800,000 buys n in the article it mentions about sky having to get more staff in to deal with the demand as they didnt expect it.
if thts true than in his last 2 fights he has done 900,000 against valuev n 800,000 against ruiz so what do u fink he could do against one of the brothers n do u think it will break the record over in england which was mayweather hatton 1.1 million
and the ruiz fight seemed to be promoted a lot more too. Haye was everywhere on tv shows all over the place, adverts everywhere u could look.
Although i was on holiday for the Valeuv fight, so they might have really went to town the 2 weeks before it and i wouldnt have seen. Wouldnt surprise me if they sold more for this one.
i dont think they would of done more than 900,000 as tht's a pretty high number, also in tht fight people who dont watch boxing bought the fight cause of valeuv size. i do think it will do over 500,000 though n it did well on the gate aswell all 20,000 ticket sold.
true but if u had someone do around 900,000 buys in there last fight your not gonna then put them on normal sky in there next fight. it's like putting floyd/pac on normal hbo for there next fight,
also 900,000 in a small country like england is impressive numbers, its the 2nd or 3rd biggest ppv fight in sky ppv history

Sky would've put this fight on PPV, regardless of what numbers the Valeuv fight did.

David Haye will beat both klitsckos. No hate on the klitschko brothers, I just think that Hayes speed, power and movement will be too much for them to handle
sky was always gonna put this fight on PPV after the valuev fight cause tht did pretty impressive numbers

Sky were taking the piss thinking that this fight was PPV worthy.
