Bob Arum says break even is 800k buys.

Damn, they're gonna lose money on this fight.

I've enjoyed BT's ads for this fight more than anyone elses. It'd be cool if that resonates with boxing fans in the UK even if it's not an ideal time. UK fans seem more dedicated to boxing so I got lil doubt worse case they do a few hundred thousand but I'd doubt it'll be among the top 20 boxing PPV's there let alone in the top 10 despite the hype in the US. Randomly anyone in the UK getting any vibes on this fight at all over there. Guessing it's not on the AJ vs Ruiz level or prime Hatton level with overseas fights but curious how many give a fook about this fight over there. There’s decent buzz but it’s definitely not to the level of AJ vs Ruiz.... of course the time zone difference is a huge negative factor but all my sports buddies are staying up for it but I doubt many are paying. There’s already been various stream links being requested and shared in my WhatsApp groups, as I said there will definitely be a lot of eyes on this fight but I don’t know that enough of them will be paying. Even the “rich guy” in my football group chat was asking for a reliable stream site a few hours ago, people just don’t like paying for stuff anymore lol. I really hope it does well though cause it’s the type of fight that fans want to see.

800k domestically just to break even is a tough ask? I know bob keeps going on about two million but how big is the fight over there? I can say from a uk point of view that barely anyone knows the fight is happening outside the hardcores. BT are advertising it but only if you have bt or are following them. I haven’t seen any adverts or heard a Single person at work or home talking about the fight which is a real disappointment. Given in the UK it’s £24.99 and in the middle of the night I can’t see many buying it here.

I finally remembered the password to my original account. I put my old name underneath to make it clear who I am. Not sure how that qualifies as an "alt." Do you have anything on topic to add to the thread or do you just like to go **** up threads for no reason? I don’t think your fooling anyone that you accidentally logged into your wrong account? Lol

Are we talking 800,000 domestic or worldwide? We're talking domestic.

Are we talking 800,000 domestic or worldwide? First fight did 325,000 domestic + 460,000 UK for a total of 785,000 (plus whatever it did in minor territories).

Yeah because holyfield-lewis had ads running on fox/espn, during the superbowl and social media to help promote it. Lmao ****in idiot So let me get this straight, Wilder and Fury have become bigger stars because of everything you've listed, but then I'm an idiot for pointing out that they've become bigger stars? Think about what you're saying. You're pointing out all of the reasons their star power is increasing while simultaneously criticizing me for acknowledging that their star power has grown . . .

nothing you say upsets me man...get over yourself..you arent that important...you dont change my mood what i said was(shame i need to repeat this).....arum might have said 1.1 last week...but he also said the other revenue streams are coming in better than the projected model....so if other revenue streams are coming in over the projections that means the number of buys needed to break even would go down.....cause and effect......seems to be over your head... stop being such a douchy **** man....no one is crying...im typing words on a boxing forum....you take this way too seriously anything that involves the pbc will not do well or fail in your eyes...and if they say it did well you will just believe its all lies....thats no way to live man face to face you wouldnt talk to me this way..id spin your head around like an owl LOL you say I dont get to you and then end you post with face to face bla bla. Yeah I get to you. And you wouldn't do **** face to face with me, your a pbc fan gimp you would duck me. Anyway all I said was its gone down ot since last week which is what s happened. You got fruity from me quoting a fact and tried to shut me down by agreeing with what I said. Lol. And it isn't doing 800k or more. No chance. Sounds like you is a bit nervous about tonight.

Which bit did I say to upset you so much this time? You yanks get so damn sensitive and feminine. Bob did say 1.1 last week so by saying 800k now it has gone down. I don't even know what you are crying about. Stop crying. nothing you say upsets me man...get over yourself..you arent that important...you dont change my mood what i said was(shame i need to repeat this).....arum might have said 1.1 last week...but he also said the other revenue streams are coming in better than the projected model....so if other revenue streams are coming in over the projections that means the number of buys needed to break even would go down.....cause and effect......seems to be over your head... stop being such a douchy **** man....no one is crying...im typing words on a boxing forum....you take this way too seriously anything that involves the pbc will not do well or fail in your eyes...and if they say it did well you will just believe its all lies....thats no way to live man face to face you wouldnt talk to me this way..id spin your head around like an owl

your reading comprehension isnt too good there chief...try reading the original post...arum said other streams of revenue are coming in better than the model projected.....making last weeks projections and predictions yesterdays news i just dont understand why some of you want everything that involves the pbc or haymon to fail or do terrible...ill never get it Which bit did I say to upset you so much this time?

That's come down alot. It was break even at 1.1 million according to Arum last week. This is not doing 800k. your reading comprehension isnt too good there chief...try reading the original post...arum said other streams of revenue are coming in better than the model projected.....making last weeks projections and predictions yesterdays news i just dont understand why some of you want everything that involves the pbc or haymon to fail or do terrible...ill never get it

Claims he has a 160 IQ and doesn't know what an alt is. :dunce: Are you sat in your 40k condo outside orlando mr bigtime? Fat **** did all that claiming he was successful and rich, turns out his home is worth less than Larryx's. :lol1: knowing what an "alt" is doesnt make you wealthy or intelligent...it means you spend too much time on the internet...which makes sense because you are a 19 year old who has never had intercourse with a female

They can reach that based off those other projections. A gate of $16 million should translate to over a million ppv buys

Initially, the belief was that Wilder-Fury 2 needed to do between 1 million and 1.1 million homes for the fight to break-even, but Arum says with closed circuit sales (think: bars, restaurant chains) and gate receipts coming in higher than the models anticipated, break-even is now between 800,000 and 850,000 buys. "We projected $1.65 million in closed circuit sales and as of Wednesday, were over $3 million; will probably end up over $4 million. We expected the gate to to come in at $12 million or $13 million and over $16 million.” Got a link to this?

It's a miniscule number as most Brits are fast asleep at fight time. I disagree..... BT Sport have been promoting this HARD over here so its hard to imagine there not being at least a few hundred thousand paying for this one. Granted they don't have the reach that SkySports do but I still expect this to pull in a decent chunk of buys.

Does that factor in their projection for UK PPV buys?? Cause I think that will bring in a decent amount for them aswell. It's a miniscule number as most Brits are fast asleep at fight time.

Boxing would be a lot more popular if they cut out the corruption. The leeches need the blood though.
