Haye vs Valuev sold around 800,000 PPV in UK

[Ray*]

That would be a great number if true, Isnt that Haye's first ever PPV fight in the UK??

[bojangles1987]

Oh yeah, David Haye is the real cash cow of the sport. F*** Mayweather.

[Slyboots]

it doesnt matter, because we were rooting for our man HAYE.. so even if he won a SD, WE collectively would be happy.

I was just poking fun at how slow the fight was. Any type of support to one's fighter or the sport of boxing in general is great in my book.

Numbers are mentioned in the Daily Telegraph...Haye did 3 times the money than Valuev's purse...

According to a few reports i have read Haye vs Valuev had around 800,000 PPV sales in the uk, apparently there was a big late demand for this fight. Thats excellent numbers i didnt think it would do that well.

Excellent numbers ! What did you have to pay for the fight ?

We in Denmark saw the fight for free, same as Froch vs. Dirrell and Abraham vs. Taylor. But Kessler will be on ppv for 100$ of cause

Khan-Kotelnik did about 20k.

Khan-Kotelnik did about 20k.

AMIR KHAN’S WBA world title winning display against Andreas Kotelnik registered more than 30,000 pay-per-views buys on Sky Box Office, despite claims from Frank Warren’s promotional rivals claiming otherwise.

“It’s absolute rubbish,” said Warren.

The English promoter is fuming that the low tallies have been bandied about after the Manchester Evening News Arena show on July 18.

In a press release, Managing Director of the Klitschko Management Group Boente alleged the Vitali Klitschko-David Haye clash, due for September, fell apart, because Haye was basing his purse on the UK PPV sales. Boente alleged Khan managed just 30k buys but Warren flatly denies it.

“He’s put it out there and it’s a liberty,” said Warren of the German promoter. “He [Boente] said the Haye-Klitschko fight did not take place because of those numbers but the [Haye]-Valuev fight is not as attractive and that’s still going out on Sky Box Office.

“The numbers were miles, miles above that [30k]. They were in excess of 100,000.”

Confidentiality agreements forbid Warren from giving exact figures but he said there was still room for improvement.

“I never, ever get the numbers I want from Pay-Per-View. We are always aiming higher,” he said.

Probably sold 0 in the states since Valuevs only fight in the usa was against Barrett and that was years ago! I thought the barrett fight was pretty exciting, but they never showed Valuev again after that... Valuev looked fast against Barrett for a 320 pound man. But with age Valuev looked much slower now adays.
