Why is there no information on this? How about the past ones? The one in California, any PPV number on that?
Any PPV result from the Usyk vs Fury 2? How many people bought this fight?

Doubt it sold well. Neither are huge names in America despite being the top guys in their (trash) division. Also the undercard filled with no names.
It did well on their YouTube channels with highlights of the fight lol -

Why would anyone who is not involved in the promotion himself and who does not get any revenue care much about PPV numbers? I often wonder when this question comes up, since it obviously has zero impact on the quality of the fight that we see.
No offense - I am just really curious.Comment

I assume he's curious to know for reasons that may benefit the sport. An increase in PPV numbers signifies and increase in interest in the sport. How can boxing flourish if people aren't watching? Just an assumption though, his reasons might be different.

That's more realistic than any of the obviously made up, ridiculously high numbers like 200,000 - 500,000 in this age of mass cheating.Originally posted by BullriderWould you be satisfied with 1 K (1,000) PPVs sold for Fury vs Usyk 2 for the US stream?
Most people would rather find a way to watch PPVs for free. So I'm not convinced boxing is still attracting buyers ranging from 100K - 500K.
Otherwise, HBO, Showtime, Fox, CBS, NBC, etc., would have not left boxing.

Could be - that way it would at least make some sense.Comment

I'm in my mid 50s so I remember watching fights Saturday afternoon on ABC. We'd get great fights for free on regular TV. Saw Whitaker vs Paez, Nigel Benn vs Iran Barkley, Benn vs Watson, etc.. I want all fights to do good numbers but can understand why folks aren't spending the money...Comment
