Comments Thread For: Wilder-Ortiz Rematch - PPV Buys To Land Just North of 275,000

[Robbie Barrett]

People on here calling this a failure lol. How is making over $22M in PPV revenue a failure? Do any of you understand business? This match is simply buildup to a potential clash with the Ruiz/Joshua winner. Wilder will be fine, he did 250k buys against the relatively unknown Ortiz. Is Ortiz a good fighter? Yes. Is he a popular fighter? No. This makes 250k PPV buys a considerable amount.

27 mil in purses.
Purses for the undercard.
The cost of advertising.

For a fight that nobody wanted with a crappy undercard it did better than I thought. I thought that it was going to be under 200K.

The Wilder haters are crying reading that he sold over 250 ppvs. Maybe they will say now that it sold because of Ortiz.

Halve those numbers boys and girls!!!!!!! They are based on as many facts and can be trusted just as much as that rumour of 2500.

[SUBZER0ED]

And yet, Wilder somehow thinks he's making more money with PBC than he would have with DAZN. Not with those numbers!

Oh my, now we know why PBC and Fox didn't release the Wilder-Ortiz Rematch PPV number, wow, even way lower than I expected, a financial bloodbath for Fox and PBC, just 138,000 PPV buys, !!! How bad was that, Crawford-Khan, with zero advertising did more buys!!! And Fox really advertised Wilder-Ortiz heavily, it goes to show you, the PPV model is broken unless it's an absolutely demand fight, and further demonstrates Deontay Wilder can't draw!!! If a fighter only draws hardcores, and not the general sporting public, he's not a PPV attraction, it's that simple. It further illustrates what I've been saying for two years, the Apps are the present and future of boxing programming, period. This number was way below what I originally predicted, when the fight was first announced I said 220,000 PPV buys, but Fight Week I saw it was DOA, Dead On Arrival, and was estimating 180,000. This is a real quandary for the Wilder-Fury Rematch scheduled for February 22, even though Wilder-Fury will have real demand. All your comments are welcomed relating to all of the above.

Wait. Now you believe that the purse was 27 million?

You are such a clown.

How about those record free TV numbers? Compares himself to Tyson though. A clown can dream I suppose.

You wilder tards do and you believe these numbers. However you try to spin it, it lost money.

PBC at all levels/divisions is a Hype marketing company pushing cherry picking, soft, so called contenders & champions...

[Cinci Champ]

Seems to be the average now for pbc shows. Nothing special.

True they put on the best fights fans can’t seen to get past it being pbc tho. Wilder fury gonna do over 1.5 mil tho so get the excuses ready
