Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury Fight Should Max Out At 325,000 PPV Buys

[Bobby Deez]

No it isn't.

£19.99 = $25.57

US PPV in HD is $75 and 3x more expensive than UK.

325 x 3 is 975.

However, this could be even lower as PPVs in SD are only $65. So let's round it down to a more agreeable 900k.

Theres no HD price. It's all HD now. The fight was $75

If they rematch soon they'll more than double that number

If you watched the fight I'm sure you would have heard the listed attendance at 17600 & change. They announced it several times throughout the broadcast. I looked it up & it said 20000 for other sporting events. 19067 for basketball & 18340 for hockey. Regardless you have 2300-3300 empty seats. That is noticeable for sure.

They actually opened up more seat sections for the fight then orginally planned.

I don't know is 325,000 PPV for the first time headlining one in the USA is good, but I am glad that was not a flop. Before people bash me, I am going to say this area is my weak point and there are certain things I don't understand about this. I thought that the guarantee money from Wilder was $14 million and $10 million for Tyson Fury. I am in confuse here, they are getting less? Because they said they break even with only 250,000 PPV in USA. Anyway, as you can see, I am lost here in this topic.

Wondering this myself. At 250K buys at $75 per pop, that is just over $18M. Not sure where the other $6M comes from. Not to mention the big chunk that goes to cable network and promoters. Maybe they were counting gates and potential UK sales.

The entire seating arrangement was not opened for this event. They used a smaller seating arrangement which is why they had to release 1k tickets when demand grew as the fight got closer. You have to find out what was the seating limit for the arrangement they used to figure out how close it was to a sell out. It's similar to his reported sell out of Barclays, Wilder didn't sell out the entire venue, he sold out the seating arrangement.

Sorry I didnt see your post before I posted similar thing.

PPV was $80 (250K buys gets you $20 Million). I think in the UK it is $20 (So 1 Million buys gets $20 Million)

So if 325K is the highest it goes that is $26 Million
You also have to add the gate and UK PPV which was $20 but it aired late over there. That could be another $10-20 Million right there.

If the rematch does double that they can make $50 Million just from US PPV.

I'm gonna be honest I'm surprised it got to 300k I'm one of the ones who thought it would flop. Both guys deserved it they left it all in the ring. I would think the rematch would be much bigger considering the controversy surrounding it. I think the draw was strangely the best outcome for both guys. If it was a complete blowout it would have been a bad look for both.

They should drop the price and cream off the alleged millions that streamed and the other people that were on the fence. Sometimes its easier to buy the thing than find a stream so if the price is right I think that would make a huge difference.

Bet money the rematch does at least 600k

Thank you guys for your time. Still we have to wait for the final result when they add up completely. I hope all go well.
