      What about DAZN sales or views because that’s what really matters to most of us

        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.

            Was there much interest in this fight in the US?

            I wouldn't have thought so.

              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.

                From the hardcore fans there was. From the casuals? Probably not, but right now only the hardcore fans are subscribers to DAZN.

                  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.

                    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!
