Are Usyk/Joshua 2 PPV Numbers In Yet?

[NoConcoms]

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?

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.

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.

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 ****** belts.

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.

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.

Did we ever get those Fury/Whyte numbers?

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.

Stopped reading after that ****** 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.
