    Wilders team either think he won't compete at that the same level as AJ has and therefore won't pay for him to unify or they're milking him for as much fast cash now an failng to invest in his future.

    They should have dropped the price and made it look like Wilder had demanded it to make less money so more of his fans can watch, when really the increased number of buys more than makes up for price change.
    Not sure, AJ is an easier sell from the start. It's hard to mess up, just keep giving him fights he'll win and keep him chiseled with muscular definition.

      What do you mean by the last part? Like Mayweather/Hatton? That was a US PPV as well as UK PPV along with some other Lewis fights and Mayweather/Pac or Mayweather/McGregor etc. There hasn't been a UK PPV shown in the afternoon in America as a US PPV though...Or not any that I can remember. Is that what you were referring to?
      Those were primary US PPVs that UK picked up to show. What I mean is UK PPVs that have taken place in the UK. AJ/Wlad was a big PPV in the UK yet it was shown on regular Showtime. Brook/Spence, Whyte/Parker, AJ/Molina, AJ/Takam, Bellew/Haye and so on, have been Sky PPVs in the UK but shown on regular cable channels in the US or not even picked up. For gods sake, Brook vs Gavin was a PPV card. Any top fight that takes place in the US would be a PPV if it was in the UK.

        It will prob make 150k (200k is prob thier PPV goal, Obviously a Milli is ideal...) But considering the undercard is basically a Fox Sports one card & the main event will prob only go a few rds. (Until Fury gets KTFO)

            $75 for this fight is ridiculous. Watch them charge $120 or some bull**** if AJ/Wilder ever happens. I'll buy it because boxing is my favorite sport, but I doubt most people will. To have to pay $75 on top of the showtime subscription is pure greed, but showtime knows they basically have a monopoly now with HBO out of the game.

              This will be lucky to crack 150k
              I will bet it's over 150k buys. How about if I win, you leave this website for good?

                Casuals never heard of either of these dudes.
                Gonna be a tough sell.
                This fight should have been about $39.99
                Global or just USA?

                Fury has a ton of die hard uk fans

                  This ain't no Triple Flop fight. Only Triple Flop pulls those hilarious numbers.

With the high guarantees of both fighters, they need to maximize their revenues to break even here. Makes no business sense at all. Would it be better for the fans? Definitely, but I don't think the price point is the reason for the "lack of buzz" or "low PPV figures."
                    Yeah, I'm a fan, not a boxing buisness guy. I'm worried about my pockets, not theirs

                      I'm talking USA only. I didn't even know it was PPV over there. I figured it was on Sky or that other channel that gets all the fights
