UK Fans: How Many PPV Buys Does Wilder vs Fury in Vegas Do?

[kevin-novice]

Are streams crap now?

If the fight's in the UK, it can probably crack 750K over there.

It's the fight's in the States, then it'll be on Showtime and BT Sports for free in both countries.

People are overstating Tyson Fury's popularity here.

He is not even headlining his next fight. Frampton is the headliner in Belfast and it's nowhere near sold out either.

Be serious guys. He got 800k viewers vs Seferi on a subscription channel. He will have even less viewers for his next fight after that farce.

There is simply no way that he is doing anywhere near 1m buys at 5am. Neither of these guys are marketable and Fury as far as the 'casuals' are concerned is a con artist gypsy involved in one of the most boring title fights ever and one of the biggest joke comeback fights ever.

I'm a big Fury fan, so that's just how it is. I've followed his whole career and backed him to beat Wlad. Even I'm sick of Fury right now, he's not gonna be a draw.

No, if they fight then it will be on SHO PPV in the states.

I highly doubt Warren will put this on BT Sports for free. Will be a PPV there as well.

For sure. Hell, if the fight's in the States, it's probably not even going on US PPV, much less UK PPV.

Did someone say that (the SHO PPV part)? I just can't see it happening with an opponent like Fury.

So whats the plan here with Showtime? They gunna gamble a fortune, stick Wilder/Fury and Spence/Garcia on the same PPV, and hope they get a couple of PPV guys out of it going forward?

[uppercut510]

who cares what it generates? 100k or 1 million

the undefeated heavyweight that ended the 10 yr reign of wldamir klitschko vs the undefeated heavyweight who has stopped every man he has faced.


Thats all that matters

They won't stick those two fights on the same PPV.

Well, putting them on PPV kind of covers them. The purses can be sales related.

SHO gets to keep their remaining budget for the rest of the year while putting these two cards on PPV.

Yes, Mike Coppinger tweeted it out yesterday.
