So they needed to sell 360k just to cover the purses, and they're tracking at just over half that number... Wilder is not a PPV star, neither is Fury. I expect their February PPV to sell less than 500k even with a joint promotion.

Read the second part of my statement. Leading up to the fight these are the same numbers I was told. Now I'm hearing over 300 k. Tomorrow the numbers will start leaking out.

If they did 300k or anywhere near that then I'd almost consider that a success..... I say almost because I don't think 300k covers 27m worth of main event purses.
Pre fight I thought this PPV would flop hard and struggle to break 150k.

That would be at least 100K over what is predicted. I had guessed that it would be 200K to 250K and even that is kind of generous given that the fight was not in high demand and the ticket sales weren't that good.
This is the same thing I heard originally. I was told was fight night they were trending180-225 but what I heard yesterday is 300+. Numbers delayed because of the holiday
So, #PPV numbers are, what shall we call them, an inexact science? Based on extrapolating most often, especially with a week of an event. That said, I asked @BobArum if he'd heard what #WilderOrtiz2 did on PPV? "Around 200-250,00," Arum answered. Typically, a tally would be...
250,000 * $75 = $18.75 Million
Give a couple million for the gate.
Wilder + Ortiz purse = $27 Million
Let's not forget the undercard purses.
In total, another money loss for PBC.
