Tyson v RJJ, broken PPV pre sales record

Casuals in my office are surprisingly massively pumped by this fight and about 20 of them have pre ordered! Really I dont know anyone thats even talking about it, but they very big names and the hype emphasis a fight it dont say much about Exhibition, maybe thats why casual digging it and boxing people not so much.

No doubt Just saying that personally I don’t know anybody that seems that interested in buying it, so I’m surprised it’s doing record numbers, but no doubt it will do big numbers Casuals in my office are surprisingly massively pumped by this fight and about 20 of them have pre ordered!

Tyson is a huge draw No doubt Just saying that personally I don’t know anybody that seems that interested in buying it, so I’m surprised it’s doing record numbers, but no doubt it will do big numbers

Tyson is a huge draw I think the exhibition will do crazy numbers

Interesting I don’t know anybody that seems interested in it, never mind buying it Tyson is a huge draw

I was set on not ordering it but after seeing a few videos of the Paul guy and Nate Robinson going at it on interviews been tempting me to get it just to see them go at it lol Jake Paul is really growing on me. He is a natural trash talking douche bag so he is great at hyping a fight. Out of all of the YouTube guys he is the most skilled and dedicated while being the most realistic. I hope he gets the KO because I want to see him against KSI.

This is all part of marketing... It puts it out there to make people actually talk and buy the fight. Has anyone ever heard of pre-PPV sales from any promoters over the last 5 years? Multiple promoter's usually used the word tracking as opposed to PRE-PPV sales.

The names attract a lot of people that don't really watch boxing. Most serious fans know both fighters are way past it.

It does claim digital PPV pre-sales not PPV pre-sales overall. And there is a difference. Hell they haven't even been doing digital PPV sales widely all that long for big fights. So basically it's impressive but not THAT impressive. And I'd guess the # to beat was low & fairly recent. It sounds great and all but it's probably not even a high number. Something like 5-10k.

I can't tell if this is a serious post. A lot of you guys on here must be much younger as i'm often scratching my head when people on here mention "stacked undercard" regarding PPV. Exactly which fights on this card do you think are good? Sorry by stacked I mean a lot of fights are now happening before the main event?

Im kinda a bit skeptical on this, Im not hearing anyone talking about it and know of nobody that is buying it, May McTap was heavily promoted and everybody was talking about, will see soon. Can be ploy to push sales, like hurry everybody else is buying you should too. True, the promo for May v McGregor was huge I remember they had global face offs leading up to it

Just doesn't seem enough buzz for this to sell 4mill + buys, but the public are fickle so who knows, if it does all hell will break loose we will have every name retired fighter doing a exhibition. If it does 1 mil, it will be a huge success

Tyson would have smashed any ppv record if he was relevant today...same as Ali and same as sugar ray leonard

That said he did make about $350m? yeah could have been a good thing there was hardly internet, you literally HAD TO buy to see him fight

It's only 3 days away ffs Just doesn't seem enough buzz for this to sell 4mill + buys, but the public are fickle so who knows, if it does all hell will break loose we will have every name retired fighter doing a exhibition.

Who orders a PPV this far out? Things come up. You get invited to watch it elsewhere, girlfriend kicks you out, co main is cancelled due to covid etc. It's only 3 days away ffs

Makes you wonder how many buys a Prime Tyson would do in this digital era? You’d have to imagine 5m+ with the right dance partner. Rjjr would have done way better numbers as well

Young Tyson vs Anthony Joshua would sell 5 million ppv I reckon. It’s hard to say though because Tyson’s game was heavily contingent on boxing being a bigger sport and more accessible to the public. Maybe his ceiling would be mcgregor/Floyd level too?
