Bob arum claims 800k ppv buys one uk

[Kezzer]

I wouldn't be too surprised in all honesty. I know a few people who paid for it that wouldnt normally. The ITV documentary, coupled with the interest from the first fight can only have helped. Everybody where I work was talking about it.

In contrast I don’t know a single person who bought it. I certainly didn’t. Not because I didn’t like the fight but having no undercard and being at 5am I couldn’t justify £25

You couldn't justify 25 measly azz dollards???????????

How broke are the citizens of the U.K.?

Really? That surprises me. I was talking to people about the fight for weeks beforehand, even my wife and her friends were talking about it.

Who gives a fck. I’m just glad they fought each other.

If his estimates are correct, then the event did sold close to 2 mil buys.

Clever wording by arum. I know he said 2 million buys. I assumed 🇺🇸. I thought anything over 750 here was good. Joshuas first fight on showtime here was at 5pm eastern time and had like 250k viewers. The replay did lil fewer. I know cable and ppv r dif but fury has much larger following over here. Hope he keeps head on straight. He backs up what he says.

You’re not from the UK and you won’t understand the context.

Fury vs Wilder would be lucky to do 150k in the UK at that time on BT and with the price bump.

I am from the UK and I do understand the context.

Nah it probably still does alot more than 150 k at that time. You know multiple fights have done a million or close at that same time slot?

Fury-Wilder 2 was a massive fight here. There's no question at all it will do better numbers than Fury-Wlad. Regardless of the time slot.

LMAO. Then you must be living under a rock.

AJ vs Ruiz at the same time on Skysports (a much bigger platform with bigger reach) at £19.99 barely did 500k. And AJ was at the height of his popularity with massive marketing by |Skysports. BT didn't even market the fight and they pushed the price up.

If you think this fight did 800k in the UK, you're definitely a nitty and you need to section yourself. LMAO.

You actually believe that AJ-Ruiz 1 was a bigger fight than Fury-Wilder 2? No one gave a shit about AJ-Ruiz 1.

BT did market the fight massively. Fury-Wilder 2 was heavily marketed what the fuck are you talking about?

I didn't say it would do 800k. But it will certainly do a lot.more than 150 k.

Nah, you said you believe what Arum said and that means you believe the bogus 800k number.

At that time, AJ could've fought Mr. Bean and it would be bigger than any Tyson Fury fight in terms of PPV sales. Wilder vs Fury 1 didn't even do 100k and they never released the number apart from the fake one they posted on wikipedia

If this fight did anything close to even 400k, Frank Warren would've been screaming everywhere the next day. Stop it and get sectioned.

If you are correct that Joshua against a nobody would sell better than Fury/Wilder then that only confirms that the brits knowledge of boxing is weak. You guys should stick to soccer. God loves the queen and Manchester United!
