How many PPV Buys can Fury vs Joshua do in America airing during the afternoon on ESPN PPV?

Fury vs Joshua is an absolute monster fight! Once the promotion begins the feel for that fight is going to be a mega fight! Will surpass one million PPV Buys in America.

Mike Coppinger says Fury vs Joshua will do over 1 million PPV Buys in America. https://theathletic.com/news/joshua-vs-fury-fight-deal/ojG9wL8kY7UX Delusional. Only fights I can see selling over a million are Canelo Vs Plant/Charlo/Benavidez on FOX/Showtime PPV or Ryan Vs Tank.

Would it really do as much as 700k?

Fury vs Wilder 2 did 1.2 million PPV Buys in America with digital sales accounted for. If you don't think that the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the world will do big numbers with ESPN and Top Rank fully backing it Idk what to tell you. Many foreign fighters many of which don't even speak the language have sold over a million PPV Buys in America (Pacquiao, Canelo, Trinidad, Chavez Sr.) Fury and Joshua both speak English and will be able to relate to the fans. The fighters are both making $100 million each before any USA PPV money is accounted for. It is truly amazing how big Fury vs Joshua it is by far the biggest fight in all of Combat Sports globally right now. Undisputed or not nobody over here cares about this fight. If it does 300k I’d be impressed. Even on ESPN because I don’t expect them to spend much money promoting this fight. Fury talks a lot but Joshua has zero personality.

It is truly amazing how big Fury vs Joshua it is by far the biggest fight in all of Combat Sports globally right now. Well you can't really say it is a Big Globally when it is not Big In America. Still a great fight that I'm very much excited to see...as a Hardcore Boxing Fan but no I don't hear any Americans talking about it really and I'm talkin about people away from this Forum Offline I assume you're not in America right? Also too the START TIME he said "AFTERNOON" well a lot of people do work on Saturdays so to have this fight in the Afternoon in America would no question effect it as well

Those Numbers are way too high and Unrealistic for two Brits in America who Main Stream America have NO CLUE who either are. 250-300K here in the U.S. if they're lucky which I think would be GOOD for this ERA I will be honest, I think it is a issue with ALL OF BOXING here in America and ALL OF BOXING needs to fight to get that Casual Sports Fan to start watching Boxing...PROFFESIONAL BOXING again and not just the Youtubers/Tiktokers,Instagramers when they decide to try and become Boxers Fury vs Wilder 2 did 1.2 million PPV Buys in America with digital sales accounted for.

I'm thinking anywhere between 150 and 225K US buys. Neither man is a draw in America. It will set a UK record tho...bigtime.

Should be on dazn

Fighting at an odd time would probably cut the ppv audience in half, at least.

I think Americans generally only care about Americans. I'm a Brit, but I support fighters based on talent, style, heart, and personality, I don't care where anyone is from. For example, I was supporting Golovkin vs Brook, Mayweather vs Hatton, etc. I like Brook and Hatton, but I prefer the other guys. That being said, I think Fury being a big personality does appeal to a lot of Americans, and Joshua is on paper an exciting opponent, so I think it will do quite well still.

Interesting results in the poll.

Under 500k. Fury Vs Wilder 3 would sell more PPVs than Fury Vs Joshua. There is minimal demand for that fight here. I sense zero buzz. Most casual boxing fans here know AJ as the guy who got knocked out by the chubby Mexican.

Also I think it is going to be Hearn/Matchroom/AJ really focusing on shattering the UK PPV records (which they will by a ton) and Arum/Top Rank/Fury focusing on making it a HUGE PPV in America with ESPN muscle.

I think it can do very well. It is the true Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World. This alone grabs the sports media attention. Throw on top of it the backing of ESPN and Top Rank it has all the right ingredients. The true variable that makes me believes how successful this event will be is Tyson Fury charisma and Anthony Joshua physique and the potential build up. I am very bullish on the success of this fight. It is by far the biggest fight in the world today.

I think it will do well with the proper build. But the reason the fight only makes sense in SA is they don’t care about a profit. Their site fee makes it worth it for both promoters as even if the fight tanks everyone gets paid. But I do think it can do 1 million buys. Fury’s profile is bigger after the Wilder win and the heavyweight unification is highly marketable.

I think Fury vs Joshua is a mega fight even in the USA. What do you all think?

If Fury doesn't have a name in the ring with him, he can't sell out a family diner-like Shawn Porter. Not enough North American promotion of Joshua outside of Ruiz I has been done. 300-400 max. Given the size of this thing, Ramirez/Taylor and Crawford/Porter (Haymon gives him the greenlight for this event) should have been on the card. If they can build a stadium, they can cover the undercard.

Honestly probably not that many unless it was aggressively marketed there, which it won't be. Americans are very insular and xenophobic and they don't tend to care too much about what's going on outside America. There are rare odd occasions when a foreigner does well over there but generally, meh. The money from this fight is going to come from site fee, UK ppv and international PPV, whatever US ppv buys are will just be a nice top up. PPV in the UK will be 30 quid and it'll probably do 2 million buys there is my guess so that's $84 mil ESPN has the full rights to Fury vs Joshua in America and Top Rank is the best in all of the fight game at selling PPV's. I think Fury/Top Rank/Arum/ESPN will sell the shit out of Fury vs Joshua to America. Fury is one of the most charismatic and interesting athletes that I have ever seen in my life. Maybe I am too bullish but I'm very optimistic on how well this fight will do globally. Tyson Fury was the most searched and Googled athlete in all of America last year. The $150 million dollar site fee for Fury vs Joshua is mind boggling. $75 million in each fighter pocket and not even started touching any of the revenue yet. Wild stuff.
