Are Usyk/Joshua 2 PPV Numbers In Yet?

Stopped reading after that stupid first statement UFC is more of a sport than boxing where champs don't fight mandatories and drop belts. champs don't fight each other to unify etc. so who is even really the champ? boxing is a joke. Thanks for stopping by sweetheart. I bet you have some pretty sweet looking Tap Out and Affliction gear to let everyone know how tough you are.

I'd love to know how much money the PPV grossed. It seems almost impossible that the show would turn a profit for promoters with the numbers I'm seeing. Does anyone have any info yet? Even rough estimates? The Saudi’s pay it all, the promoters get a fee, the fighters get their purse Saudi doesn’t profit or make their money back because the whole point is they are sportswashing I.e using high profile sporting events to change the imagine of their country and take attention away from the very negative aspects of the county that’s the top and bottom of it. These events are not about turning a profit for Saudi, That’s why they put up ridiculous site fees to host it and pay it and then put it in a medium size arena. Making a few million profit is not what they care about. It’s peanuts to them.

No clue about the PPV numbers. As for the UFC, it's comparing apples and oranges. UFC is an entity not a sport. The brand was there in the beginning of televised mixed martial art competitions. They have much more control over their stable of fighters. One is a centralized entity and the other is a decentralized sport. Perhaps boxing should have a model that looks more like FIFA or the International Tennis Association. I'd argue the PBC, in it's earliest days, was more like UFC where a promotion had control of a large stable of fighters and attempted that model of sorts.

. It seems almost impossible that the show would turn a profit for promoters with the numbers I'm seeing. It was a site fee from Saudi royalty. Fighters and promoters did just fine out of it. The Saudis completely ballsed up the TV rights but I'm guessing they don't care too much. The guy who got it all wrong had his head chopped off and they managed to show the world how modern they are.

Did we ever get those Fury/Whyte numbers?

Doesn’t matter. The Saudi’s paid up a huge fee to have the fight and they don’t care about any ROI. It’s why they will throw a huge guarantee at Fury and Usyk just so they can host a heavyweight unification in their country.

how can you even follow the career of a Spence or Crawford or Charlo or Andrade..... lmao complete jokes. putting them in P4P is a disgrace. all duckers. The only careers you can actually follow without stacked decks are eastern european fighters basically. even there Beterbiev and Bivol fiasco. LMFAO Dana would've made them fight 3 years ago. all these stupid belts.

boxing been losing money or a while now. it's just not profitable. . Yeah, it does seem that way. I'm guessing these Saudi people paid a ton of money to have the fight over there. There is no way on God's Green Earth anything else makes sense. Apparently, Joshua made $75million for Ruiz 2! There's no way he should have got that much money for that fight. At least this second Usyk fight delivered......somewhat.

boxing been losing money or a while now. it's just not profitable. UFC is a better model. if you like a fighter you can follow their journey to the top. Ducking rarely happens. Dana keeps them in line.
