What's the point? Prior to Wilder vs Fury, the last time a HW was on PPV in the US was back in 2005/6. And the last time there was a HW PPV in both US and UK was in 2002 (Lewis vs Tyson).
So, both might be unknowns in the US but it is a big fight in the UK (or so Warren thinks). With a decent undercard, it might bring in more profit than without PPV, which is their goal. Why would both fighters risk their respective careers and Warren his stable if the money was not way above what other fights could have generated?
The fact that we’re having to pay for a fight that wouldn’t even headline a card in the US says a lot about the state of British boxing.
Constantly putting any decent fights behind a paywall is not good for the sport or the fans. It doesn’t help the sport reach a wider audience and it just exploits the hardcore fan base.
