Comments Thread For: Fury-Wilder Produced Just Over 750,000 PPV Buys; Could Reach 800,000

[GBP4LIFE]

Man what a flop.. all the money dedicated in promotion.. all the crap fights they had to pay for in tune up fights.. smh.. not even close to there break even number.. 750k is CRAP!!

[Brother Mouzone]

IMHO, great numbers if you consider the underwhelming undercard leading to massive amounts of streaming.

[Dasmius Shinobi]

Wilder vs Tyson Fury PPV numbers not looking good for now

I expected 1 million not more or less, but I believe is too soon. I wait another announcement with new numbers.

[Bronx2245]

My thoughts exactly. I kept saying before this fight, that this event HAD to be successful in order for the networks to work together again. & That a failure would be extremely damaging to the future of potential crossover fights

It's gonna be hard for Bobby and Al to convince them that they'll make money on the next one.

750K barely makes money for one platform, let alone two.

[The Old LefHook]

Fat Fury is not entertaining and never will be. Obviously, potential buyers already knew that. I did not buy because I already knew it.

pretty sure Arum said before the fight that 600k was break even?

[ThatDude44]

Lmao no I did not. He literally pulled that figure out of his ass I’ve said in earlier posts. but no matter what number they did that statement was bound to haunt him.

I mean as there ever been a second fight that’s sold 1.7 million more ppvs than the first??

He said 2 million before the 1st fight also. Lol

Again I keep saying BOXING IN GENERAL have a serious issue here in America it is not a Top Rank Issue or a PBC Issue or a DAZN Issue...it is a BOXING ISSUE In General

First of all, it is too many options in sports now (especially UFC for Combat Sports) for fans to wait around for the best to fight the best in boxing so people are just moving on to UFC who does consistently deliver the best vs the best

Also too, Boxing here in America is so far behind the UFC when it comes to Fan Interaction, Social Media Presence, Youtube Presence. That is why last week I posted about how maybe Arum should cash out because I don't see how the Promoter makes money in this ERA other than from Network Deals because they don't sell many tickets and even with all the Promotion including Super Bowl Promotion the numbers Came back Solid but not as big as it probably should've

No it has nothing to do with "Fury Not A Draw" "Wilder Not A Draw" it just feels like people don't care for Boxing In General anymore here in America.

So those PPV Buys are Solid in this ERA for BOXING but yeah I'm sure they wanted to break 1 Million at least but it could be something to build upon. First Big Heavyweight Event in America in a very long time so it is going to take more time and a lot of work to draw the Casual American Viewer back to Boxing because right now without Mayweather THEY DON'T CARE! Boxing Lacks good Villains and in America they absolutely LOVE the Villain more so than the Hero which is why Mayweather was as big as he was. Which is why McGregor is as big as he is

Lol I never expected 2 mil thought it might've been able to touch 1 but that number is honestly not bad 800,000 is pretty good everybody knows that probably twice that many people watched the fight live. You can't compare the numbers to the 90's for one crucial reason in the 90's there was no high speed internet that was accessible to the masses along with hundreds of streaming websites and other platforms to watch the fights without paying. It's funny every time numbers are posted on here people **** on them like damn I thought you were on this forum to be a boxing fan instead your fighting over numbers like you want the see the sport do bad.

Unless it's Mcgregor or Canelo, NOBODY should be fighting on PPV in the US.

Especially at 80 bucks which is ****ing absurd. Even the UFC isnt breaking 1mil PPV these days unless it's Mcgregor on the card.

The difference is nobody on a UFC card is getting a 25mil+ guarantee. Not even Mcgregor himself.

The boxing industry is too greedy with these bull**** PPVs, i'm glad it flopped.
