Usyk vs Bellew done 603,000 buys

[Kezzer]

Decent numbers if true given Usyk relatively unknown and a really bad undercard. I know I didn’t buy it and I chose to sit and listen to radio of it instead; then watched it properly straight after For free

I met the major of Manchester that night. Bit embarrassing. You know when you recognize some one who you think is a mate, pause and then remember who he is. Top guy though. I hadn't been in Manchester for 15 years and the place is flying.

I don't know, but for CW that seems quite good...am I wrong?

Usyk put on a show...this is a real opportunity for him to fight some other UK HWs and build his name.

Maybe Hearn throws him Chisora?

The only reason I expected it to do even more was because there seemed to be a lot of guys talking about it in my social circle and where I work, guys who are not hard core boxing fans.

But point taken .. selling 130k more PPVs than Whyte/Parker is remarkable, really.

Fair play.

[PotentialToast]

Not bad considering Usyk can't speak English.

Yes, but to be fair; he can box a bit.

[Rubber Ducky]

Wow that's better than I thought it would do. Bellew clearly more popular than I thought after his wins over Haye. I thought it might do as much as Whyte/Parker and GGG/Brook and do close to 500K, so 600K is a good result in my opinion.

Good to see fans tuning in for a quality operator like Uysk.

Was there much interest in this fight in the US?

I wouldn't have thought so.

It was a good fight and if you already have the app of course you’re gonna wAtch! We do need a benchmark so we can accurately gauge Canelos fight! You know what I mean????

Sky Boxoffice do not release such figures so no idea where these bs numbers come from all the time.
