Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder-Fury PPV Number is Terrible, Absolutely Terrible

[Sid-Knee]

The 325k PPV @ $75 Wilder vs Fury generated more money than any single PPV Joshua has had at $15 euros.

Joshua made more than Wilder and Fury combined.

We also don't have Euros over here. We have pounds. The price for PPV over here is £19.99.

They would have opened up every seat but were seeing how well the tickets were going to sell first. They didn't want to put it out that all seats were open from the off only to have egg on their faces when tickets weren't being sold. Wilder has never sold out an arena thus far so it's understandable. But you saw for yourself how slow the ticket sales were. They even gave a load away as well to fill some of those seats. Americans made comments on the forums about seeing tickets being given away.

Ticket sales proved to be just fine.

You said there were not nearly as many empty seats as you made it out to be....Because at least 1.5k to 2k tickets weren't open.

But there were still close to 18k there with a live gate of around $3.5 (preliminary number) million.

The amount of tickets given away really were not off of what usually happens, unless you are talking Mayweather vs Pacquiao or Mayweather vs McGregor or GGG vs Canelo.

They gave away a handful of tickets to fire fighters. Leave it to biased people to take that and run with it. I paid damn good money for my tickets and I am glad I did. I won't be paying to watch whatever bum Joshua fights next however.
