One of those was from me

As long they didn't lose money.

325k ppv buys in the US is equivalent to 1.2m ppv buys in the UK

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.

Do it again and double that number for sure! Props to Wilder and Fury for cracking the big stage!

Good fight and both got rewarded with a career highest payday.
If the rematch happens numbers should improve as well.

So that means Wilder made about $6.5 M for the fight and he calls the $15 M he got offered for AJ slave money. LOL.

Are those the real numbers or inflated like GBP liked to do?
250.000 was needed to get even with guarantees and undercard purses.

Quit hating punk! Those are real numbers!

How would he only make $6.5 million in a fight that will make around ~25 or so million after cable distributors get their cut?

[BigStomps]

with nobody to fight.

LoL, you fool! Canelo has fighters from three different weight divisions wanting to fight him so IDK WTF you talking about!

[moochi]

For the US, it's very solid. Have to remember these PPVs are $75 over here. The line for "superstar" status is 1mm buys as only a handful of guys have ever had that level of drawing power. Only Canelo in North America atm..

Only Canelo? Why aren't ppl saying only GGG?

Canelo vs Liam Smith did how many buys? I think it was 200k.


Reality is PPVs only sell well if there are 2 stars, and the only person who creates massive revenue irrespective of who he fights is AJ.
