    There is only 379 ticket left for sale?

    Lowest ticket price is $304.

    Nice try though.

    Take off resale tickets and it’s nearly a wilder sellout.

    Some of you should be banned for making up stuff.

      what nobody knows is how much Fox is actually paying vs. how much Haymon/PBC is subsidizing the event. Anyone who thinks Fox is really paying out $30 million plus needs their head examined.

      And MCC never ceases to crack me up. Haymon loses ("invests") over $500 million to develop his PBC concept, and he's a genius. Playin chess doe. But DAZN loses ("invests") probably less than $150 million to date to develop their concept and its OMG THEY ARE A DISASTER!!!!!

      too funny.............

        Every fight on DAZN has been a financial disaster.

          I don't pay for PPV's anymore, but if I did, this one would be it. The first fight was a damn good brawl...Wilder was nearly out on his feet before pulverizing Ortiz. Second bout should be as good.

          I don't see why people are against this fight as it should be a good one. But not PPV.

            DAZN is subsidizing the event.

            DAZN picks up Wilder-Ortiz rights in four territories

                  Apparently the fight did about 70k PPV buys.

                  Fox are considering to never air another Deontay Wilder fight again..

                    If those purses are true (27 mil) whoever is paying them is a complete idiot. It was obvious the event wasn't going to get close to paying for them, even on the best day. They'd need it to sell 750K+ to turn a profit.

                      Hopefully it sends a message.

                      Make real fights and promote fighters properly.

                      You may be able to fool a few ****** dwelling uneducated Wilder casuals but not real boxing fans and the general public. Fair play to the Americans if it's true they didn't get ****** into this farce.

                      I get the feeling they know that Ruiz/AJ 2 is the only fight that matters in the division.
