    Taylor/Serrano had 1.5m viewers!

    https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxi...91265nczijet06

    And almost 20 thousand tickets sold.

    Add that to the AJ fights (which they may not have the UK rights to next) and the Canelo fights, particularly that BJS crowd...

    Has DAZN/Matchroom cracked it?

    Edit - I should note, I didn't think the move away from Sky worked for Matchroom in the UK and the end was coming... (They are still struggling for signings), but this does show what Matchroom and DAZN can do worldwide. The impact of this fight has been incredible.

    Jake Paul cracked it. No one else.

      Credit where it's due, Jake Paul made an impact, but considering his last fight sold less than 65k PPVs, it clearly isn't him alone.

      Not sure why some people are so desperate to not give credit where it's due?

        He also did 500k PPVs five months before that. Jake Paul is a superstar and was spamming this fight to tens of millions of people for months. That and that is alone is why it was a huge fight - meanwhile someone like Seniesa Estrada is fighting on undercards.

          Lol, I did give credit. He was obviously a big part. But not the sole reason. Like I said he did less than 65k his last fight and spammed that like crazy too.

          Anyway, if you don't wanna give credit that's fine.

          Haters gotta hate!

            The REMATCH in Ireland will do even more. Paul, Hearn, Serrano and of course Taylor all want it

                1.5 is a very nice number. Paul definitely played a huge part and that's fine. Sounds like the ESPN card did good numbers too. Anytime boxing events do well, regardless of the platform and promotional banner, it's a good thing.

                    That’s a rubbish number, that’s 1.5 million WORLDWIDE.

                    and MSG wasn’t sold out, that’s just BS from msg as they are trying to get the rematch there, but watch any fan video and you’ll see plenty of empty seats
