Here in the UK, AJ vs fury is massive for obvious reasons and will be the biggest sporting event in uk history. Hearn says he thinks it will get 3million PPV buys in the UK, the record at the moment is 1.1million I think which was AJ vs Klitschko.
I think Eddie is right or not far off. I think its does 2.5M to 3M in the UK. Its a lock to beat the UK PPV record in buys & revenue.
But, how does America and Americans view this fight? With no American involved do they still see it as a must watch fight, is there much hype and anticipation? Will it sell a lot of PPVs in America?
Hardcore fans are hyped enough for it, but I don't think they are into it as much as they usually would be if a US guy was involved. I think its less exciting cuz its not likely to be a rock em sock em HW ****er so much like Wilder vs AJ was more likely to be. I don't think most see it as THAT competitive either. Most hardcores in the US seem to heavily lean towards Fury winning. I don't think casuals give any fooks about it for the most part. I think most casuals only know AJ as being the guy who lost or quit to a fat guy. I think it'd max out at 500k buys if it was on US PPV.
It could potentially be the biggest fight EVER. Especially when you consider how Tyson Fury sells his fights during the press conferences and the build up to fight night.
I don't think it'll be the biggest fight ever. PPV revenue-wise I wonder if it will even be in the top 5? I think it'd have to do about 3.2M buys at $40 a pop to get into the top 5. I don't think I'd bet on it as best case to win its probably a nail biter. And they'd need to do in excess of 10M UK buys to be #1. So like 1 in 7 mfers in the England or everyone in London would need to buy it.
In buy numbers I suspect it has a solid chance at being #3 behind Floyd vs Manny (5.7M) & Floyd vs Conor (5.1M) & above Tyson vs Lennox (2.7M).
Only a dumbass crackhead would say this fight could potentially be the biggest ever. Delusional UK bunboys saying their usual nonsense. This fight isn't that big. This era is just trash and decent fights are rare.
Nobody in the U.S. really gives a sheeit about this fight. It's not big here. We have seen way better fights. It's rare the UK has a top guy and this is 2 top guys facing off from there, that's why it's big there. Usually your top guys get knocked out at the top level and fade into bumhood not long after.
Fury is a fat drug abusing weirdo. He popped for PEDs. He was dropped by Cunningham. He hit himself in a fight for ****'s sake! This era and the one preceding it are/were trash. So trash that 2 UK weak chins are at the top. The other top guy is a skinny legged twerking afrocentric racist. A fat Andy Ruiz knocked out AJ lol. He is a robot that looks like the poster boy for steroids. Old Klit almost stopped him.
