      In all seriousness, it ended at like 6pm. You can't even get people to come over until about 9.

        Usyk isn't box office unfortunately it's a simple as that, and the shine was off Fury going into the fight after 2 bad performances in a row.

        The fight would have done well in the UK market and very average everywhere else.

          I honestly think no more than 100,000 and that's predominantly in europe. Probably did terrible in usa. It was a good fight but these guys are unknown and there's very little Marketing in the USA for these fights

            People just need to say they watched the fights for free and stop all this nonsense and excuses about the fights not properly promoted. This site has been peppered with names of those fighters two months ahead of the fight. Youtube and social media are splashed with their pictures everyday of your waking hours. What do you mean they're not properly promoted? Look at some of the thread titles in this forum. They're already promoting Fury vs Joshua! Aaarggh...

              That's how it is brotha. People love to circle jerk. In reality whatever ppv number is released, you can bet it's pure fiction. Unfortunately, no one is fact-checking.

                Not sure where you are getting your numbers, it did 1.5 milliion in the uk last tine, and would expect similar this time, maybe more tbh

                  Well, can they at least report fake numbers, just like PBC and their fans are able to come up with made up numbers?

                  Even the Haney/Garcia didn't have numbers. One of the most widely watched fights around the world, a fight that was riddled with controversies, thus had lots of publicity good or bad, didn't have numbers. The Haney/Lomachenko didn't have numbers. The Haney/Prograis didn't have numbers, just some more examples. Fights that were decently promoted that no real boxing fan would escape watching. They're not that big, but can they at least report numbers? They won't bother because they knew not many people buy PPVs. They'd rather just keep quiet than exaggerate numbers. Does this mean people only buy PBC fights despite being more expensive? People need to start asking questions when it comes to these figures.

                    I haven’t seen any solid PPV numbers for Usyk vs Fury 2 yet, which is surprising since these big fights usually get that info out pretty fast. I was following the fight closely, and it definitely seemed like there was a lot of buzz around it, but it’s strange that there’s no clear data yet. As for the California fight, I remember seeing mixed reactions—it didn’t seem to get the same level of hype as some other events, so the numbers might not have been as high. Could be just the way it was promoted or the timing.

                      PPV numbers are irrelevant for the Saudis... Not sure why the concept of sportswashing is so difficult to understand here.

                      If you're wondering if they made money on it, you are asking the wrong questions.

                      First. No. They're almost certainly not making money on it.

                      Second, they make enough money in passive income that they could buy Top Rank with just 4.5 hours of sitting around doing fugh-all. If you think you understand the perspective of people who could buy all of the major boxing promoters with their pocket change and you're still asking whether they made PPV money, YDKS.
