The New Face of Boxing: Dmitry "Mr. 45K" Bivol draws 45K PPV Buys in his Rematch with Artur Beterbiev. A Card in which Turki Alalshikh proclaimed the greatest boxing card of all time.

you sound like a nina m'olesta You didn’t even watch ProBoxTV and you suppposed to be a fan . Go slobber Bivol. Racism won’t win with me . Benavidez next fight will have more than 45k . Dumb Assong

It was a typical Saturday hbo card dressed up with your slobber. I’ve had better

It was an average fight card . The standard is so low anything is PPV. Thank goodness alcohol is involved with these fights

american fight fans are mostly black and latino **I think)) so maybe its not surprising???? Usyk vs Fury sold well

45k ppv buys and 12.6 million hackers streaming. Tighten the tech up. And market shows better.

Serious question. What is the point of this thread?

must come to vegas?????? if turki is paying they go whre turki wants them to go!!!!! captain obvious but what...... But Turki just said he won't pay he is not interested in the fight.

Because Bivol and Beterbiev are nobodies apart from in the hardcore boxing world. Benavidez is the A side , Bivol must come to Vegas and fight him.

Some demographics are happy that the best fight in boxing didn't do as much as the midget fight. Insecure M F 's

Just another shining example of why boxing 'fans' are trash and their opinions shouldn't matter all much. They cry and cry about fights being 'too expensive' but we get reports like this. This is why it's so easy to ignore them because most of them can't even put their money where their mouths are. You mean to tell me they couldn't/wouldn't cough up a measly $25 even in this economy? So sad. And I don't wanna hear about the time frame at which the fight took place....that's an excuse! If this was the 'most anticipated' fight in boxing, there's no reason to miss and/or not pay. This is why we can't have 'nice' things as boxing fans and again....it's another reason to ignore all of the butthurt and demands from said 'fans'. We'll keep getting showcase bouts and I can say we deserve it.

Agreed but why do you think they've entered boxing (and other sports such as football and golf) if they're NOT making any money? Surely it can't just be to boost the public profile of the country and to turn it into the next major tourist destination like Dubai?! As for the card itself, I also bought it and felt that I got MORE than my money's worth. Also, like you said, it's GREAT that they listened to the fans and stacked the card with competitive fights from top to bottom and reduced the time between fights. You're still thinking like a person, not a nation-state...

Probably a lot of illegal streaming too. But that number might represent the approximate number of hardcore boxing fans left in the USA = 45k ?

You are still a little angry Bivol beat your boyfriend? Angry? I’m just calling it how I see it. Two Slavs, one over the hill, couldn’t sell anything at 25USD.

It was my first time ordering PPV for a RS card. I ordered via PPV.com for $27 and it was a very good experience. I will 100% be buying again if price is in that ballpark.

Who ever said Bivol was the face of boxing or known at all to casual audiences? As an actual fan of boxing I'm just glad this happened, and it delivered a lot of great fights including the main event. OP gotta be a salty American who cares more about the business than the sport itself.

Two slavs that avoided each other until one of them was a past his prime 40 year old? And people are surprised this didn't do well? You are still a little angry Bivol beat your boyfriend?

Oh casuals trying to turn down good fights. Don't you have your funny events like Tank fighting guys I have never heard of?

You want more of the bull**** mismatch PPVs with ****e undercards that cost 80 bucks. Just admit it you’re not a boxing fan Who's complaining about the fight card you moron? We're talking about something completely different. I bought the PPV by the way.

I'm not being harsh, I'm just saying what everyone kept saying around here about Callum Smith, Euro fighters, whiteboy fighters and 40 year olds. Like I said, all of a sudden the narrative changed when it was Beterbiev/Bivol. You want more of the bullshit mismatch PPVs with shite undercards that cost 80 bucks. Just admit it you’re not a boxing fan

sounds a bit harsh to me!!! just checked his boxrec hes beat gvosdyk brown smith jr yarde and smith and collected nearly all the belts at 40!!! thats not bad at all LOL and u say hes not legitimate???? bit harsh i think!! did he not ko them all as well??then he gave bivol 2 very very close fights and has a W v bivol who is regarded as close to p4p NO1 and a lot younger than him!!! I'm not being harsh, I'm just saying what everyone kept saying around here about Callum Smith, Euro fighters, whiteboy fighters and 40 year olds. Like I said, all of a sudden the narrative changed when it was Beterbiev/Bivol.
