Whyte vs Parker PPV numbers

[BattlingNelson]

If you ask ****** questions, what do you expect? You didn't respond to a single point i made. Knob.

It wasn't me who made a claim of Whyte being set up for life. That was you. Of course that raises the very interesting question of how much he actually earned to be set up for life. Your answer was that you didn't know. So you suck.

I hope the card did do good numbers. The it was fun night of boxing i thought. Entertaining, the fighters involved deserved good numbers.

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.

Comparing British and American Sports/Fans is not worth it, it's two completely different landscapes. Whyte-Parker wasn't even televised in the US...The pricing point helps, though, Hearn can just say it's only £20, which really dosent tell the full story, but it is just £20...that's where the temptation is.

BTW Whyte-Parker only done around 474K, Joshua-Parker done 1.5M and Haye-Bellew 2 done 750K.

Because they're all in with the Hearns/Matchroom? Are you telling me you believe these people to be straight down the line and honest with this stuff? Behind the scenes they know what they class as the PPV being a success, only a moron would believe they'd release the actual figures.

They are offical BARB TV Figures similar to Nelson in the US. Sky can't manipulate those figures. The only thing which is a risk factor is people may have bought Whyte-Parker replay which would be a very small number.

BARB TV Figures showed Brook-Spence done 275K ish. Check the wiki "Sky Box Office Events" and their's references

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.

Sky Sports is 47.95 for it's full sports package, i'm on contract. It's irrevelant that you don't have to have Sky TV For PPV.

Majority of Boxing fans will have Sky Sports because they are PL Fans and i want to watch the rest of the boxing which you can only get via Sky Sports.

So my point still stands, to get all the Boxing on Sky, you pay roughly 50 pounds a month and six PPV's. Let's do the Maths: £50X12= £600
Then £20X6= £120
£720 you have to pay for 12 months of Boxing. SKY and EDDIE HEARN RIP OFF

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.

Do you know why? Nobody gets a pay day fighting wilder.
People fight wilder as mandatory or just to put food on the table.
If am a fighter and I have a choice, I will go for AJ cos that's where the money is. Fighters are not blind, they know these things.
Fighting Ortiz is always a waste of time cos he draws no shiiiite.
Ortiz is better as an undercard.

well, that's your opinion. interested fans bought it and there are have been great testimonies that's all that matters.

Cause of the time difference you nutcase. If Manny Pacquiao or RJJ ever fought in the UK during their primes they would be on PPV 100%. Pacquiao has fought on PPV over here many times, and that’s more than fair cause he’s an elite level fighter who was in relevant fights against other elite guys like Floyd, Marquez, Hatton etc.

The point remains the same, a fight like Whyte-Parker is NOT PPV quality, in terms of the fights meaning, relevance, quality of the fighters involved etc. If idiots are willing to pay for it, it’s their own money they’re wasting. But it’s a pretty bad look for British boxing when we’re having to pay to watch B/C level fighters whilst elite level guys like Mikey aren’t even being televised over here.

Last Saturday is another example of how bad boxing is over here.
HBO showed- Kovalev-Alvarez, Bivol-Chilemba
PBC on Fox(I think) showed- Berto-Alexander, Quillin-Love, Collazo-Perrella, Lipinets-Bone etc
Whilst sky sports showed Joe Cordina vs Masher Dodd😂😂
And people actually pay a sky subscription to watch this dross.
Says it all...

can you allow these PPV crap to fly? Why so much interest in why ABC fighters shouldn't be on ppv?
There was no gun on your head to buy it, so let it go.

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.

You forgot the gate. There is also money coming from DAZN (Europe & Canada) and Australia PPV. And you can bet Hearn is getting 50% of the UK PPV if not more, Matchroom have had an exclusive deal with Sky Sports for years. So $7.5M-$8.0M is the more likely figure.

Whyte-Parker wasn't even televised in the US....

Why did HBO pick up Whyte v Browne but not Whyte v Parker when it was clearly a bigger fight and card?
