Media 10 million people watched fury v wilder illegally

Now how many actually paid for it? I admit I didn’t. I’m done with ppv. I used to be a regular buyer but I’ve had enough of shit cards for high prices. If AJ vs Wilder ends up on PPV instead of DAZN, I’ll watch it illegally, too.

uk ain't bad. but people didn't want to spend 20 quid cus, it was on at 5 am which was ridiculous. they could of mitigate dor discussed another time, but frank is frank.
 
For $75 you cant blame Americans, Showtime was pretty much telling you to watch it illegally at that price. It was only 20 quid in the UK though so not quite as excusable, that was a fair price I think, granted it was on at a shitty time.

Its hard to justify paying crazy amounts for a fight nowadays when its going to be easily watchable for free anyway. $75 PPV aint helping the popularity of the sport (does the opposite if anything), its lining the pockets of suits. If boxing had fights of Fury/Wilders stature and calibre on normal non-PPV tv semi regularly the sport would likely boom again very quickly.

5 am bro= 20 pounds. when aj is 10pm = 20 pounds

I think the scale of the fight more or less offsets the inconvenient time when it comes to justifying the price though. It was a bigger fight than AJ/Povetkin or AJ/Parker imo, and much bigger than something like Chisora/Whyte 2 which is the same price.

Isn't a quid and a pound the same thing?

I'm from England. Yeah AJ is the biggest star, but fighting Parker or Povetkin just doesnt have the same ring to it as Fury/Wilder. Any combinaton of AJ/Fury/Wilder is bigger than any of them fighting someone else right now. Whyte/Chisora was a war but its not on the same scale.

Yep.
 
What a fucking nonsense article this is.

So nearly 3M people were from the UK and the US who illegally streamed this fight?

Where do the other 7M come from exactly?

And then it states "It isn’t clear how many people tuned in illegally, but we’ve asked BT for official viewing figures, and will update this article when the company responds."

So your figure for illegal streamers is a guess?

Utter fucking nonsense, was this written by Alejandro Rochin
 
I can’t see anyone paying 75 dollars for this fight. It’s a ridiculous price and yes, we all watched illegally at a friends house who hooked the stream to a big screen tv.
 
Watched it for free, while drinking free beers at the casino on an enormous screen
 
I didn't watch it, but the PPV model is as dead as Dillinger. People aren't going to fork over $60+ for a card anymore.

Oh, and I can afford it, but it's just absurd now.
 
I bought it, can't beat big fight Saturday night feel. Plus Usman v RDA card on simultaneously, I got a loaded fight night across 2 sports for 64.99.

By the time rd. 9 came around I was ecstatic I didn't pass it up.

tbh. mma cards, ill pay money for because its a specialised product and cards are usually jacked to the brim. whereas in boxing fights on the undercard are shit because every championship fight its own event. whereas ufc, is basically champion v champion. whos the champions out of the best guys int he world.
 
Thanks to illegal stream I got all my friends to watch this and now they all like Fury and Wilder.

U mean ufc Adelaide with dos santos vs Tuivasa right, usman RDA was the day before
 
I'll admit I bought it because I wanted to see the best heavyweight boxer in the world today piece up an overrated one dimensional idiot in high quality.

And it was worth every penny.
