How Many PPV Buys Does Wilder vs Joshua Do?

[Boxing_1013]

Also the UK-US opponent matchup is probably not ideal for maximizing PPV revenue. Canelo and GGG did big money and over 1 million views each time because they are both in the same time zone. All of their fans are on the same page/time as far as tuning in for the fight.

Joshua would be Canelo to Wilder's GGG in this scenario. And Canelo/Joshua are the ones really driving the buys. So you're asking the B-side, who can't really sell a PPV on his own, to have his fans do 10x to 5x the usual amount of buys he would get for an average PPV against a normal fighter.

I think it does significantly better than Kov-Ward, but similarly disappointing in the sense that it should do well over 1 million buys, but I don't think it comes close, especially not in the US. I don't see where the buys would come from.

1 million buys? are you guys serious, AJ has no fights in the US and we expect 1 million Americans are going to throw 80 dollars at this fight? UFC has a way better promo system and they struggle to get a million. DC vs Jones rematch was more anticipated in the states and it got 800k buys at 60 dollars a pop and DC and Jones were way bigger stars than AJ/Wilder, PPV numbers I'd say Min 500k, Max 650K

Yeah good post, I agree man...I just don't see where the numbers would come from.

It will do at least 2 to 3 million buys, thats if aj beats ruiz. They will hype it up and the lure of two undefeated power punching heavyweights for the undisputed unified championship and history will sell. Also usa vs great Britain angle

2-3 million even though we have seen only Mayweather involved in 2M+ PPVs?

wilders just not a big star. every time he fights is proof. anecdotal evidence and going viral are not equating to people tuning in and buying his fights/buying his tickets. its not a super fight like floyd-pac. it probably wouldnt even be on the ggg-canelo level unless joshua becomes a huge star here. not sure how that gets wilder 50-50 but hes crazy
