Ppv numbers

Any word on ppv numbers yet? Oddly silent?

This has a similar feeling to Mayweather-McGregor. Real talk, it does. I don't know if it'll do 4 million plus, but above 2 million I could see.

This will do well over a million This has a similar feeling to Mayweather-McGregor.

This will do well over a million

Have you bought the PPV bro? I decided to watch it at this bar here in town. They charging 20 to get in lol

No clue. I'm too c#cky to sit in the $300 rafter seats & I'm still too broke to get the 1k+ good seats. I'm a balla at the Sam's Town events doe lol. Good Shobox Sam's Town event next week btw. May go to that one. I feel you on that man. I refuse to sit in trash seats at fights which is why I usually get ringside. The prices on ringside seats nowadays is horrible though. They were charging over a grand for Tank Davis' fight in Atlanta for ringside and he isn't even a big draw. I sat ringside for Broner vs Maidana for 600 bucks with the wife

Arum said they needed 800K to break even. So anything under that is a failure

I don’t know what this is going to do, but I’ve had more people reach out to me about this fight and planning to watch it — we went from me going to a local sports bar to now having like six — than any in recent memory. People asking where they can watch it, people I’ve known for years who are complete casuals (at best) who have reached out to ask me about it and are watching it. There’s real buzz around a heavyweight fight again, and that’s a good thing.

This is a fight thats worthy of PPV. 2 Undefeated heavyweights rematching after an amazing drama filled first fight. There is alot of PPV's to complain about that are shams but this is legit. I just can't justify 80$ for Fury Vs Wilder. Neither of them are big draws. If it was a true mega fight like Mayweather Vs. Oscar or Pacquiao then yes, I'd agree with you. I honestly can't say this fight is bigger or has more hype than the Joshua Vs Ruiz rematch and that was available for 20$.

This fight does at least a million buys or more. I haven't seen this much buzz and excitement over a Heavyweight title bout in America in 20 years. For Wilder not only a win over Tyson Fury retains his WBC title belt but it also could potentially win him over the casual fans too; Especially if he wins by way of knockout. It would easily help catapult his career into a whole different stratosphere. He'll reach mainstream, box office and crossover global superstar status.

It's booming here in Vegas. The sketchy hotels that are $60 for the night or $30 for an hour are bumped up to $150 for the night or $80 for an hour with a free box of condoms & a coupon for 20% off a STI test. I believe it... sad but probably true. I forgot you were in Vegas Panda. Wonder what kinda ticket prices the scalpers are charging in the front of the house?

I'd argue if you love the sport you should be hoping it flops. We as boxing fans finally have an alternative in DAZN. If Wilder had accepted their 100M offer we would have seen Joshua Vs Wilder plus two Canelo fights this year for 99$. DAZN has disrupted the boxing market in the U.S. The sooner PPV dies the better. Do you really want boxing in the U.S to follow the UFC's lead, any fight worth a damn is placed on PPV? A monthly PPV. That's the PBC's vision. Anyway, I expect this to sell between 500-650k PPVs. I won't believe any numbers unless they're official from Fox or ESPN, I can already see the tweets that have coined terms like "tracking/trending towards..."

600-800K. But if you love the sport as a whole you should want it to do a Million + , I hope it does I'd argue if you love the sport you should be hoping it flops.

I'd agree with you that 300k seems ballpark-ish of what I could see. Is Floyd vs Ricky the biggest UK PPV at a un-fan friendly US time? I’m pretty sure those 3 I mentioned are the top3, although it is possibly the YouTube fight not long ago may be up there too as not sure how many that did

I agree with most people about the mainstream hype this fight has received. I’m kinda surprised how it’s blown up in the last week or two, a lot of casuals seem to have interest. Gross Sales(USA & U.K.)- 1.1 million That number would ensure a third fight and also breathe a little breath in the sport.

I'll take the over 700k US buys & the under on 500k UK buys. What's the top 5 UK PPVs taking place at sh^tty US times for UK fans? I'd think if they did 500k in the UK it'd be in the top 5 or close to it but idk maybe not. Big fighters do well ish. Joshua Ruiz 1 did 500k ish but obviously AJ is a far bigger draw and it was on sky rather than bt. Mayweather and mcgregor did about 700k. Mayweather and Hatton did about 1.1 mil. I think this will do better than the first fight which was rumoured to be about 100k , so on reflection I think 300k maybe doable in uk. I’ve seen a couple of people say they have seen hype over here but personally I haven’t seen a single advert or person talking about it. It’s certainly not been in the news at all.

I'll take the over 700k US buys & the under on 500k UK buys. What's the top 5 UK PPVs taking place at sh^tty US times for UK fans? I'd think if they did 500k in the UK it'd be in the top 5 or close to it but idk maybe not. Hatton v Floyd did 1.2m in the Uk But this was before a lot of people were wise to streaming. So that has to be factored in. Being in the Uk, the hype for this fight here seems just as hyped up, pretty much. I think 500k might be a fair shout

So I just did some work to check how many uk ppv the first fight did. Wikipedia says 425k which is where somebody got that figure, but that’s aload of BS. The actual numbers never got released in uk and frank warren refused to share any details (in fact to the extent he refused to do interviews with anyone who didn’t agree not to ask). The suggestion was it did around 100k but this was neither confirmed nor denied. The silence of frank warren would suggest it couldn’t have done much more than that though.

It feels like a big fight. Can’t remember the last time a fight felt this big.
