It’s possible just check sky’s numbers for ppv boxing over the year like Joshua v Klitschko

I was surprised there was any 1mil+ buys in the UK too. But from my cursory Google they've all involved AJ, Haye or Hatton. Who are all way more famous to your average British sports fan.

Maybe I'm way off but more than 1 in 65 of the population, many of whom are kids (his main audience) both wanted to watch boxing and managed to pay for a PPV from a rookie promotional outfit? In numbers comparable to those guys who are/were huge names in fights that gots tons of press coverage? I doubt it very, very much.

So now he knows PPV numbers in boxing are severely exaggerated.
This is the same guy who nearly sued Showtime Espinoza for allegedly lying
about the Gregor/May fight PPV buys. (White was involved in selling the fight.)

He's saying if they're profitable, why then is Showtime exiting boxing? He's right on that.

Dana White knows exactly how hard it is to sell PPVs in sports.
