150k would be my guess

How Many PPV Buys Does Wilder vs Ortiz II Do?
Collapse

With FOX behind it and fresh off of that Vicious Knockout it will do better than most want it to do
Besides us B#tching Hardcore Boxing fans, it is millions and millions of the casual sports fans who don't know nor do they care about all these Politics in boxing and some will buy to see a Knockout just because they have the money to do so
Also think the Card will be stacked like Pacquiao vs Thurman CardLast edited by sicko; 05-29-2019, 10:55 AM.

One thing you should take into account is PPV fatigue. In 2018 there were only two PPV fights. In 2019 there have already been three. This fight and Pacquiao-Thurman make five and Danny Garcia vs Mikey Garcia may be six. There is clearly an oversaturation of PPVs and PBC are the prime offenders.

Wilder's star is on the rise and the first fight was very good, so it can be sold pretty well. 300k would have to be an outstanding success though so realistic would be like 200-250k which is like 14 to 17 million in revenue for the fight

I voted 100-200k. I can't see any reason why fans, diehard or casual, would buy this fight other than to see wilder get another highlight reel KO.
I will be shocked if this fight does huge numbers.

I really dont know. Ive gone between one and two but i dont really know the American casuals interest in this one. A rematch of a fight that looked like it had a clear winner which wasnt even on PPV??? Not exactly inspiring stuff is it.
To be fair to it i really enjoyed it and Ortiz was a breath away from knocking Wilder out. It was a good close fight while it lasted. Score cards looked like they were paid for had it gone the distance and i didnt like the funny business with taking Wilder aside for a breather, that stunk but personally im looking forward to it, im not really flat about the AJ thing cuz i think we all knew already that fight wasnt happening.
Its not guna do very well in sales in an already rickety market but i bet it will be far from the worst fight we see this year.

My 200k-300k vote is generous. Considering that Ortiz had Wilder hurt but couldn't drop him but was dropped and stopped himself, leaves little to the imagination in a rematch. And let's not forget, Ortiz is now 40.
