Joshua vs Povetkin did 1.1 million PPV Buys.

[rolshans]

Notice how the AJ naysayers have gone incredibly quiet.

Lmaooo I noticed that too

[Sid-Knee]

Wait so is it not on DAZN in the UK?

We don't have DAZN in the UK. All the DAZN fights will be shown on Sky Sports over here.

[Sid-Knee]

but posters from america told me on here that joshua was losing his fanbase and noone was interested in the povetkin fight?

Yeah, but they're all bitter and ******ed.

Some of them even said Wilder is now a bigger star than Joshua in the UK. Their reasoning? He got cheers at the Fury and Frampton fight in Belfast. He didn't, he actually got booed. So did Fury come to think of it. Haha.

[Sid-Knee]

Not too bad, let's see if Fury can do better.

The Fury/Wilder fight won't even come close to doing those numbers. But watch Warren try and manipulate and claim otherwise. He'd do and say anything to get one over on Hearn. Anything!

[Sid-Knee]

I seriously doubt that... Hearn has been on record about AJ doing less than 1 million against Takam.

Sky PPV doesn't release the numbers. There is all kinds of people who say AJ has the biggest PPV numbers yet there are a bunch of articles that name May/Mac the biggest PPV in the UK breaking AJ/Wlad numbers.

Yeah but most of those buys came from Ireland.

This is according to the UK Broadcast Audience Research Board which measures viewing figures in the UK.

I believe Broadcasters' Audience Research Board is equivalent to Nielsen ratings in the US. So it's not the number of buys. It's the number of people who watched. It could theoretically be 250k buys with 4 people watching per buy. I could be wrong.

[Sid-Knee]

Given the awful undercard I'm surprised it got to 1.1 mil to be honest. This was the first ppv of Joshua's I haven't bought other than klitschko (which I was at wembley for)

Yeah but the main event was better than the other fights other than the Klitschko one.

The undercard was ****, but I had to watch the main event on PPV because it was too good a fight to risk looking for a stream for.

Interesting.

Even if it were over 1m actual buys, these are UK buys, which are around 20 or 25 pounds, right? That would be less than half of what Canelo just did twice in a row. I'm glad AJ is a star and able to pull in good numbers (and that's 100% real talk). I think people are neglecting to make honest parallels though. If that's what he's making in the UK then I really do think he's missing out by not coming to the US.

I think it must be buys, because the BARB numbers are always right in line with the numbers Hearn says he gets from Sky. He said Sky told him it sold over a million PPVs, but not as many as AJ vs Parker.

How much is a ppv purchase?

Also does anybody knows how did GGG/Canelo did?
