Wilder/Fury II fight poll: attend, buy, stream or not?

[True-Boxing-Fan]

The first fight did over 325,000 buys in the US and 450,000 buys in the UK. It's incredibly unlikely 80% of the buys for the second fight will be from the UK. ESPN and Fox are giving the fight massive promotion right now. The fight will easily do over 500,000 buys in the US.

when the PBC first came out and they spewed all that shht about bringing boxing back to the mainstream Free tv.[/QUOTE]

Which is exactly what they've done. There is free boxing on Fox almost every month.[/QUOTE]

Lol half a mill statewide. lol yea sure.

Look at you trying to make wilder out to be some US star by Trying to use worldwide buys. Instead of the normal US buy rate. Any purchases outside the US for this fight is due to Fury being on the card. Wilder is far from being a household name in the US.

This fight will do similar numbers as their first.

stream all day everyday! get high first then watch the fight.

I will watch on a free stream as it is nowhere close to being PPV worthy, especially with the terrible undercard. How will the rest of you watch this one?

Sad to read and see a high percentage of people choosing to watch it on a free stream in the current poll.The fight game needs the punters money to keep it going .More it has the healthier it becomes.Hence Fury/Wilder are putting themselves under danger for the raw entertainment of others.Least we can do as boxing fans is support the fighters by paying for the fight legitimately on PPV.

Where exactly is that money going?

[Richard]

Certainly won't buy a card like this. More fool those who do continue to pump the riches veins from contrived tripe

Fury is hot and cold, any money spent on him can go either way, so this part is hard to judge,

Its one of the best fights in a long time though.Hence arguably the best 2 in the heavyweight scene fighting each other in their prime.

I dont think Fury/Wilder will shortchange any fan though.Hence 2 warriors fighting it out.Feel its going to be intriguing. Ive been literally counting the days to this fight since it was first announced.

Admittedly some will go the promoters etc but a fair percentage will go to the fighters as well.Hence money is ultimately what motivates everyone.No money no boxing.

[KTFOKING]

Definitely buying.

Sorry, my bad, maybe i should of mentioned i will stream it.

No way I'm missing the main event, it will be phenomenal, but this event seems aimed at pure boxing fans only, its not going to draw in many new numbers (IMO and im often wrong)

People whine about the youtubers (me too) but a couple of them on the undercard of this, could brighten the future of the sport from this bleak era.

Boxing should be about the fans, not lining the pockets of Hearn/Haymon and Arum

All the best.

It's a fight I want to see so I'll pay for the stream through ESPN +.

Considered by who? Whenever I see others mention boxrec, they're usually laughed at and told TBRB and Ring are the most respected.




That's how it works for 99% of PPVs. The promoter rarely confirms anything. Journalists have sources at the cable and satellite companies and find out how many PPVs were sold.




If you're not going to be honest about how many world titles Joshua has, why should I continue to interact with you? Best of luck with everything. I wish you and Joshua continued success. Take care.

Again, an idiotic post. AJ has the IBF, IBO, WBO and WBA titles. If you can count, that's 4. And don't try to discredit the IBO because if you do, we can discredit the Ring and "Lineal" titles. At least the IBO has an actual belt that you can see and feel. And you are wrong about the PPV. When it's good, they announce it right away and it's confirmed. When it's bad, they hide behind leaks and misinformation. And who exactly is laughing at BoxRec rankings? Man, you are trying to warp your narrative around facts but it doesn't fit. Facts are facts. These two are not the best 2 heavyweights and this fight is not the biggest fight of the year even. If they fought better opponents then they both would be PPV stars.
