Whyte vs Parker PPV numbers

[Sid-Knee]

What’s with the pocket watching, Why do you even f.ucking care what another man makes that has no effect on your life

As a boxing fan you should want the best to fight the best

Your acting Like Wilder isn’t a millionaire many times over And I seriously doubt that Dylan Whyte or Parker have made more $ in the last 3 years then Wilder has

But really who f.ucking cares , all you should want AJ / Wilder to fight

If it's not about the money I take it you were blaming Wilder for the Joshua fight not happening when he turned down 15 mill?

[Fanofreason]

Think about the comparison. Someone who views himself as the top dog in the HW division is earning less than at least 4 other guys in the division.

Joshua, Parker, Whyte, Povetkin will all have earned multiples of what Wilder has earned in his last fight.

What does that say about Wilder and his recognition by the American public.

Wilder doubles AJ in US viewership #s. What does that say about AJ?

[TheBigLug]

It's funny, he was called a ducker and cherry picker with a padded record for years, now the narrative has flipped and he's suddenly a boogieman who everyone is apparently avoiding.

Depends which way you look at it.

Wilder was on his way to Russia to fight Povetkin until Povetkin failed a test. This was the Povetkin that was destroying fighters, not the older clean version that nearly got iced by David Price and looked crap v Hammer.

Wilder also fought Ortiz, giving him a second chance after the test issues. No other top HW seemed to fancy a fight with Ortiz because he was too high risk.

Wilder's team also met AJ's demand of $50m and they still didn't accept the fight.

So Wilder has or was going to fight top HW's. It's not his fault they fail tests or don't accept fights once their fee is matched.

Gatti and Ward weren't all that great, that's what made that trilogy exciting lol neither guy could avoid the shots of the other for 10-12 rds. They still got schooled by every top boxer they faced.

It was still a much more exciting and meaningful fight than Whyte-Parker and was never PPV, the point remains the same

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I'd much rather pay for two B level fighters in a 50-50 fight then an A level fighter against a B level guy in a 80-20 fight. After all why watch boxing in the first place if you aren't going to be entertained.

Watching it is fine, having to pay for that level of boxing is a disgrace.

On the same night Mikey Garcia fought Robert Easter in a lightweight unification on network tv, whilst here in the UK idiots are having to pay to watch Whyte-Parker. It’s frankly embarrassing for British boxing.

You write as if you are in the position to choose fights that are suppose to OR not to be on PPV.
Whyte is not an American and the fight held in UK.
I don't know why Americans are taking UK ppv's so personal.
You guys have to slow down.

I’m British kid, the fact this is sold on PPV in the UK whilst Americans are getting quality fights on network tv like Loma-Rigo, Wilder-Ortiz, Loma-Linares etc, even Mikey-Easter (on the very same night as Whyte-Parker)
It’s embarrassing for British boxing.

Not sure if I trust a TS who doesn't cite a source and who seems to have tried to embed an image without success.

I like to deal with net, folks.
55% of the PPV goes to the cable companies.

19.95 British Sterling = @$26 US
26 x 474 = @12.3M US
12.3 x .45 = @ 5.5M US

The biggest NZ PPV did about 80K buys. I am not sure AJ vs Parker did that and I am pretty certain Parker vs Whyte did significantly less than that. After all, AJ V Parker had over 3x the buys that Parker Whyte did.

So, being generous and saying 30K NZ buys, we get about 1.5M NZ. But, NZ dollars are worth less than US ones. So, the US amount is about another million. Less the 55%, and the New Zealand PPV amount is less than half a million, about 450K.

So, the net from both UK and NZ PPV is about 6 million. That's what they used to pay everyone, not just Parker and Whyte.

No US TV so no US TV rights money.

6 million.

we get lots of "your" PPV's for free in the UK, does that mean fighters like Manny Pacquiao and Roy Jones Jr were bums during their prime?

Occasionally we're asked to pay to see some of our own fighters, but the events are available to illegally stream each time anyway.

It's £20. It's so cheap. However what annoys me is Sky Sports is £50 a month. So essentially your paying a extra £120 a month for six PPV's to watch Boxing in this country. British Fans get mugged off more than Americans. I hope Sky's Executives and Eddie Hearn burn in hell fire

Sky sports is not £50 a month. I have Sky, if you are paying 50 quid for the sports you need to call them asap. Moreover, you do not even have to have Sky TV to buy their PPV.
