The Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury fight was a critical success and a commercial success. BoxingScene.com has learned that Showtime Pay-Per-View's four-fight show, headlined by their riveting heavyweight title fight Saturday night from Staples Center in Los Angeles, slightly exceeded 300,000 buys in the United States. Figures from many cable companies in the U.S. haven't been officially submitted, but initial indications from cable and satellite operators that have reported to Showtime are that Wilder-Fury should reach a maximum of 325,000 buys when the numbers are completely compiled within the next three months.

Good numbers happy for both

Those are pretty decent numbers considering the arena was not soldout. 17600 in attendance. I believe that arena holds around 19000-20000 seats for a boxing/MMA event. 325000 buys for $74.99 = $24,371,750.00 I believe both guys got around 10-12 million purses. I'm not sure what % of the PPV revenue they will get but I'm assuming it is a nice chunk of change. It did better than I thought it would.

Not amazing but not awful

A lot people here were hoping it flopped to support their agenda instead of supporting the sport.

Trash ppv events are the ones that Pac is lately in

This isn’t bad at all. I was expecting 300 to 350k. So this is great, this is what happens when you have two good talkers going up against each other as a first PPV.
