Comments Thread For: Tyson-Jones Exhibition Expected To Yield Over 1.6M PPV Buys, $80M For Triller

People can complain however loud they want to but I'm absolutely delighted with those numbers, both Tyson and Jones deserve it

Mike Tyson is saving the sport.

I think the 49.95 price tag helped a lot. I watched both cards and the Triller card was much more entertaining for 50 than the PBC card for 80. Boxing promoters want fans to pay a premium for matches with foregone conclusions. Makes no sense. If the Spence Garcia card had been 49.95 they would have doubled or tripled their buys.

That just shows you how badly promoted the sport of boxing is these days. But then again Tyson has always been the casuals favourite boxer. Ask any casual and they will tell you Tyson was the greatest ever....

Happy for both fighters involved. Neither was injured and both secured big paydays.

Fury/Wilder 2 did like 850000...just think about that

WOW!!!!.....Tyson can still draw like that at 54 during COVID......WOW!!!!

It had big marketing on this event. No current boxer outside of canelo can do this.

I'm afraid boxing promoters already gave up on boxing being a leading ppv sport and are more focused on getting free TV deals where the revenue is way less but safer and they can keep on putting their fighters in mismatches to keep the cash flow going. Sooner or later that well is going to dry up though and nobody will care even if the best started fighting the best. The interest in the sport and the current top fighters is lost already.

They can keep doing it, but this is proof of concept that non-boxing people can invade the space & have immediate impact.

Eventually that'll happen on a bigger scale when the juice is worth the squeeze for an entrepreneur with a nice bankroll who wants to multiple it.

I think it’s funny that Hearn been trying these bull**** YouTube fights for a while now and still got beaten out by some “promotion” that I’d never ****ing heard of.

It ain't just Eddie. All these mfers would pimp out their granny for a novelty fight.

But yea I had only heard of Triller in passing before this & I didn't even know exactly what it was til a couple weeks ago lol.

Bottom line is this is a big L for the powers that be in boxing.
