    Those figure would be accurate IMHO, no one is buying that fight at 4/5am UK time. It’s never going to compete against the prime time TV times over here.

      Wow. Thats awful numbers for Joshua til you realize the time it was on in the UK.

      For a 3am or w/e UK time PPV 400k is f#cking amazing & if its not a record I'd bet its in the top 3.

        Nope, Mayweather vs Pacquiao/McGregor/Hatton out did this figure...By over double for two of the fights, and triple this figure for the Hatton fight.

        Then Tyson vs Holyfield II and Tyson vs Bruno did better figures as well as Tyson vs Lewis.

        Was on par with Lewis vs Holyfield.

        Basically did as well as any PPV that took place in the UK not including Mayweather and Tyson fights lol.

          That's actually super impressive for a fight that happened at like 3AM over there

            It was later than usual for most UK PPV's and lets be honest most people thought it was a sham match.

            I'd take this with a grain of salt, and I'm far from being an AJ fan.

              You think a million people stayed up all night or got up early to watch & pay $30ish or w/e for a bs fight (that turned out to be not so bs)?

              I seriously doubt that.

              400k at ~3am is f#cking bananas & probably a record for a awfully timed PPV.

                I edited my reply to you, but peep it again as I updated it with fights that took place in the US that out did this PPV.

                    Yeah sorry i meant Fury PPV. Wilders only PPV. But then the modest success of that fight i put down to Fury anyway cuz Wilder dropped straight back off PPV straight after so it must of been Fury that did it.

                    A true PPV star commands PPV events. A PPV player does PPV when the opposition warrents it. Wilder v Breazeale was not PPV but Joshua v Breazeale was.
