If ur wondering why Wilder/Fury was such a big deal on social media but 300kish buys doesn’t seem huge, that’s bc apparently 10m illegal streams happened ww, including 1.9m in US & 1m in UK. Previously illegal streaming thought to be a small %. Hmm, maybe PPV is priced wrong...

10 million illegal streams for Wilder vs Fury

I think they'll be happy with that. Find out a way to smother illegal streaming and Wilder-Fury II will do big numbers.

I bought it because i'm in the UK but i'd certainly think twice about it if i was in USA. It's not even the money that would be the problem, but the principle of spending that much to watch a fight in your own home.
Of course there's people who are going to stream regardless of how cheap it is, but i do think USA is very overpriced for a PPV.

ppv's should be cheap.
October 30, 1974 Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman
50,000,000 buys $100,000,000 earned back when 100mil had 500mil's spending power. 500,000,000 adjust for inflation.

May 2, 2015 Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao
5,773,000 buys $500,000,000 earned
Clearly it's the fans getting screwed. 5mil eyes vs 50mil....no wonder boxing had a steady die off in the states. The industry is way greedy here.
