Coppinger reports 800-850K PPV Buys for WilderFury2

[Fabes88]

I never paid any mind to that 2 million figure anyway tbh. Considering their first fight did just over 300k buys I would say this is a win.

[Fabes88]

interesting AJ sold 1.6 against ruiz. Who is the A side.

Come on don’t be that guy. You can’t compare uk ppv sales to us. I’d be interested to see how many it sold over here as opposed to aj vs Ruiz 1 though. It should be selling a lot more.

I predicted they would do inbetween 600k-800k weren't too far off

That's a good number.

However, it only goes higher with Fury v AJ in Vegas. There is no other fight at heavyweight right now.

Arum and Hearn are no doubt jumping on it and looking to start a bidding war from DAZN/ESPN/BT/Sky/UK/Saudi, etc.

It's not a hard fight to make as I think both Fury and AJ would settle on 50/50.

Fury will take no less...........................50/50 split all the way ppv the lot

What's even better is the national attention the fight received after the fact.

Yep!!! This was everywhere on american TV. I must have seen adverts and TV presenters speaking about this fight 4/5 times a day.

And forget what Arum was saying, 850K is a very very good number of PPV.

[nubianpiye]

Neither wilder nor fury is a draw that’s why Joshua got 85 mil for his fight and they warned a combined 50 mil the difference is laughable

[kiaba360]

I think what the numbers reveal is that Fury and Wilder aren't worth the purses they received.

[Larry the boss]

Bob Arum said the fight needed 850K just to break even and was predicting 2M PPV buys. They spent 56M in guaranteed purses for Wilder and Fury alone, had unheard amount promotion pushed by 2 of the top networks in the US and still couldn't crack 1M buys and probably lost money best case scenario they break even. lol

I swear all some of you do on here is complain..

[champion4ever]

AJ sold 1.6 against ruiz.

In the U.K. or on DAZN?
