How Many PPV Buys Does The Rematch Do?

Canelo owns may 5. I'm just happy we have 2 interesting fighters and a fight to look forward to in 2019. Both fighters won a lot of fans but fury is one or two more iconic fight from being folklore. He has the gypsy story, redemption story, and possibly unified if he beats wilder and aj. It's a modern day Rocky then. If wilder loses the rematch, I hope it's usyk - wilder in the future! They basically weigh the same! And would love to see if usyk style can beat someone as athletic as wilder.

They should book Cinco De Maio in Vegas.

Does he have a weak chin though? Wilder has freakish power, those punches he landed in the 12th should've knocked Fury out cold, yet he gets up and dominates the rest of the round.It is hard to tell but my answer would be yes because that is why he is forced to work so hard on defense. He slipped almost every right hand that Wilder threw last night until the later rounds. Eventually Wilder was able to time him beautifully twice and floored him; Which probably sealed Fury's fate because it ultimately cost him the fight. However Fury did box superbly throughout the fight though. He had Deontay both baffled and off balance with his upper body movement. Wilder had trouble timing him with that right hand for most of the night. I think that Tyson Fury's height played a huge and major factor in Wilder missing so many right hands earlier in the fight. However, he did enjoy some success with landing the left hook though.

Does he have a weak chin though? Wilder has freakish power, those punches he landed in the 12th should've knocked Fury out cold, yet he gets up and dominates the rest of the round. Fury's chin is fine, but literally any flush shot Wilder landed he dropped Fury. That shows he few shots he actually landed and the freakish power he has. Fury fought Wlad/Wilder in 24 rounds and stayed on his feet at the bell. Chin is okay.

Have to wait and see what are the PPV numbers for this fight first. Also Fury saw his stock rise dramatically and he could easily bypass a rematch and make more money fighting Joshua in the UK next. So let's wait and see how much money the fight made and if Joshua gets involved in which case it will be a bidding war and Wilder team will have to out pay them to get Fury to agree to direct rematch in US. Fight will definitely have to be in Vegas to pay Fury more money.

I say the rematch would do at least double of what it did last night. It was a very entertaining fight filled with lots of drama, due to Wilder's late round knockout power. It took him awhile to find his timing but when he did he caught Fury hard. It was a miracle that Tyson got up from that twelfth round knockdown. Eventually it was what cost him the fight. Had he been able to stay on his feet he would have won the title from Deontay Wilder. However, the champion dropped him twice which inevitably sealed Tyson's fate. Fury's only weakness is his chin. He doesn't take a punch all that well. Weighing only 212 lbs, Wilder still managed to drop the much larger, stronger and heavier Fury twice in the fight, which was how he was able to retain his title. Fury won more rounds and boxed beautifully throughout the fight but Deontay won the more decisive rounds by a 10-8 margin. Does he have a weak chin though?

Let's say it takes place in Vegas next April, how many buys is this fight doing? Does it reach a million? Looking at the way this fight was talked about on twitter and other social media outlets, I'm guessing it had to do at least 300k-400k buys?I say the rematch would do at least double of what it did last night.

In the US I reckon it does over double what it did this time round.. But what did it do this time? People saying 400k.. That was what Espinoza said he wants it to do before the fight even happened. No actual numbers have been announced or rumoured since the fight. Regardless this rematch will be big and Fury will be favourite/A side this time round. I have no idea what it did and quite frankly it is far too soon to tell. I said from day and the target should be 300-350k buys and they may have reached that mark. To get what both guys wanted, it had to do 250k buys. A-side in what regard? He's not going to be the A-side but the split will be fairly even both ways.

Yeah, it may take place in the UK, but what if it doesn't? Then how many buys does it do? I think it may do close to a million in the UK even at 4 am. And imagine if it does a million in the states or close to it? Just off PPV revenue that's over $50 million even with the distributors getting their cut.

I heard showtime say 400k but it's way too early so we'll see. I can't imagine they already know the number or could even take a reasonable guess yet. But if it does 400k then that is a HUGE win for all parties.

The rematch has to happen in UK and I see it breaking UK PPV record 2mil+ easy as Fury fan base has now grown beyond imaginable. Then once Fury wins the fight vs AJ and Fury does twice as much maybe over 4mil and breaks all records in UK history. Yeah, it may take place in the UK, but what if it doesn't?

People were saying this fight was a complete dud and yet come fight night it seemed like it definitely caught a buzz and did solid numbers. They had over 17k in attendance and I'd guess this fight may have surpassed 300k buys. I heard showtime say 400k but it's way too early so we'll see.

a million? in 2018...that's a big number. But with Fury and Wilder promoting it...anything is possible I guess.

Absolutely, but do you think it can crack a million buys if it happens in Vegas? I mean it may take place in the UK, but for argument sakes what if it takes place in Vegas or anywhere in the States? a million? in 2018...that's a big number. But with Fury and Wilder promoting it...anything is possible I guess.

The rematch will be big IMO. Absolutely, but do you think it can crack a million buys if it happens in Vegas? I mean it may take place in the UK, but for argument sakes what if it takes place in Vegas or anywhere in the States?

Bump from last night. Also, I think Fury legitimately became a household name in the states yesterday and a potential star.
