Thanks for the info, saved me looking it up myself.
I'm sure everybody involved will be very happy with that number, but it's not quite as high as I was expecting, based on the interest shown in the fight by casual sports fans I talk to at work and socially.Comment

You expected a bigger number than that? I think that is a DAMN good number. Only AJ is doing better numbers than that.
The Haye fight did 890k and 775k. Haye is 100000x the name Usyk is in the UK.Comment

I agree.
That is a monster number. Usyk doesn't speak English, there wasn't a "The gloves are off" and it was a very respectful promotion with no undercard. 600k, if it's true, is a very impressive number given the circumstances, I doubt that Whyte/Chisora II beats that.Comment

Dillian Whyte did over 800k against Parker.
600k is a very good number, but I was expecting around the same as the second Bellew/Haye fight.
Add that UK money to the licence fees from Europe and Russia and both sides will have done very well indeed from this fight. I read that 15million people watched it live in the Ukraine alone!Last edited by kafkod; 11-23-2018, 01:36 PM.Comment
