KSI vs Logan does 800,000 buys, breaks UK records.

[Sid-Knee]

Man, they buy some real garbage in the UK. Not letting Americans off the hook as those idiots made Paul a star. But, for all their smugness, UK cats are the same type of morons found in just about every country.

No country has the morons that the US have. you're in a league of your own.

And the PPV was £7.50. It's not exactly going to break the bank is it?

[Sid-Knee]

Why are all 800k sales being attributed to the UK? Was it not available to buy worldwide, or are they just the UK numbers?

It was PPV for the world, but those numbers are just from the UK sales. The other PPV's came from the rest of the world.

EDIT: Those numbers are for the whole world, not the UK.

You have to laugh that this fight had a sold out crowd while Deontay Wilder hasn't come close to doing that in 40 fights. And he's Americas biggest star. Haha.

nah mate, logan paul is american boxings biggest star now lol.

We really are.

[Sid-Knee]

We really are.

Props for being honest. But you're too self aware to be a moron, so I most certainly don't include you.

800k world wide at a $10 PPV.

"Great numbers"

Mayweather-Hatton UK alone did 1 Million at £15 so not sure how it breaks UK records.

They don't even know how many of the 800K are even from the UK for starters.

It's still great numbers, especially for 2 non boxers. Some of the biggest names in the sport can't really pull those numbers even on Show or HBO. It's unfair the compare numbers to the highest PPV seller in the history of the sport.

What I've noticed though is what do Mayweather and Logan Paul/KSI have in common? People love to hate them, and want to watch a personality more so than an amazing fight. It's sort of sad thats the way the sports going, but people are looking for entertainment prior to the fight. Casual fans eat it up and will watch for that reason alone.

It's becoming very common place for fighters to just fight which sadly in this day in age isn't cutting it. You have to SELL the fights, and the best way to do that is hype and cringe worthy press tours / conferences.

[aAgger]

The fight sold over 860K in both the UK and US combined, not just the UK alone. Those are still impressive numbers, among the biggest PPV fights in recent years.

Good numbers for them

[New England]

It did more sales than those fights but was 3 times less in price.

kind of like when people act like UK fighters on ppv are bigger draws than US ones at the gate or on TV. joshua - klitschko, for instance, did less revenue at the gate than hopkins - calzaghe.
