Usyk vs Bellew done 603,000 buys

Sky Boxoffice do not release such figures so no idea where these bs numbers come from all the time.

Was there much interest in this fight in the US? I wouldn't have thought so. It was a good fight and if you already have the app of course you’re gonna wAtch! We do need a benchmark so we can accurately gauge Canelos fight! You know what I mean????

Wow that's better than I thought it would do. Bellew clearly more popular than I thought after his wins over Haye. I thought it might do as much as Whyte/Parker and GGG/Brook and do close to 500K, so 600K is a good result in my opinion. Good to see fans tuning in for a quality operator like Uysk.

Not bad considering Usyk can't speak English. Yes, but to be fair; he can box a bit.

The only reason I expected it to do even more was because there seemed to be a lot of guys talking about it in my social circle and where I work, guys who are not hard core boxing fans. But point taken .. selling 130k more PPVs than Whyte/Parker is remarkable, really. Fair play.

Usyk put on a show...this is a real opportunity for him to fight some other UK HWs and build his name. Maybe Hearn throws him Chisora?

I don't know, but for CW that seems quite good...am I wrong?

I met the major of Manchester that night. Bit embarrassing. You know when you recognize some one who you think is a mate, pause and then remember who he is. Top guy though. I hadn't been in Manchester for 15 years and the place is flying.

Decent numbers if true given Usyk relatively unknown and a really bad undercard. I know I didn’t buy it and I chose to sit and listen to radio of it instead; then watched it properly straight after For free

Not bad considering Usyk can't speak English.

Its good as there is no reason to delay the Joshua fight from when Usyk is ready. Joshua/Usyk will already do big numbers after this, if they done it next. Though saying that beating one of the other Matchroom heavys will turn it into a massive PPV Bellew did big numbers, not Usyk. But now Usyk is known to the casual UK fans.

Fury vs Wilder will do great #s in the UK Not on LA time in won't. Means getting up early rather than drinking through. Hard core only.

But fair play to them as it seems like fighting Joshua led to that big number.

800k+ is only for mega Floyd/Hatton/AJ/Haye fights. Those guys are the only ones that have touched that number. 600k for this fight was DAMN good, no other way around it. Definitely a successful PPV.

No need, I just checked with BARB and you correct, 474k. I would have sworn it said 800k+ last time I looked! Must have got it mixed up with some other fight I checked at the same time. 800k+ is only for mega Floyd/Hatton/AJ/Haye fights.

Whyte did NOT do 800k vs Parker. Where are you getting that number from? Whyte/Parker did 474k, unless you have a better source than this one? https://www.***************.net/2018/08/22/sky-ppv-figures-anthony-joshua/ Edit: Put in world boxing news (no spaces) over the *** part.

Dillian Whyte did over 800k against Parker. 600k is a good number, but I was expecting around the same as the second Bellew/Haye fight. Add that UK money to the licence fees from Europe and Russia and both sides will have done very well indeed from this fight. I read that 15million people watched it live in the Ukraine alone!

You expected a bigger number than that? I think that is a DAMN good number. Only AJ is doing better numbers than that. The Haye fight did 890k and 775k. Haye is 100000x the name Usyk is in the UK.
