      Did you hear this from the same person that said Errol Spence was never going to fight again?

        The bar I watched it at wasn't as full compared to other big fights.
        Was thinking it'd crack a Million but ...

          I won't believe any numbers if they're not official from Fox or ESPN. Enough with misinformation terms like "trending/tracking towards".

          I predicted it would sell under a million, if this did huge numbers and it was "trending over 1.5M+" like some influencers within the industry have been saying, then you'd expect FOX and ESPN to be shouting it from the rooftops.

            If that’s true not sure how much PPV upside there would be for each fighter since you have 2 promoters and 2 networks taking their cut off the top. Sounds plausible it did those numbers. There was a surprisingly high amount of buzz the last few days before the fight. Could have ****** a lot of casuals in. I said it would do about 600k beforehand but could see it doing more. No way it was a million buys.

                I hope it did well, it's going to need something like 2m+ considering they spent 10m on 2 superbowl ads alone!

                  All the forum posters should have supported this fight ,but understand why a hefty price and possibly a Wilder win would negate their decisions to purchase it.


                  The lower these two do the more they may think about an Undisputed fight for much more money so there’s that .

                    Arum said it needed 800k to break even. So it's not looking great.
