Most are competitive matches on paper , I will give it that. I'm more interested in this main than Wilder and Ortiz fighting twice and wasnt that like 70 or something. a ppv eager game these days. The typical card is a lot worse, but agree it's not one that really seems to have 'earned' ppv if we go by the fight quality and stature
Can Winters shatter another up and comer? That's about the only interest I have in this card.

I mean, as a HW fan who enjoys Jared Anderson beating up nobodies, Wilder's years of pretty weak opponents, updates on mr coffie, and all that etc....you're telling me you're not slightly interested in the main?
I assume you don't know some of those other guys though, they are just british level guys so far but I like the matches, should be good fights

Haven't paid to watch Anderson. I'd watch this with some anticipation if it were free. I think a motivated Whyte would walk through the current Pov.

Unfortunately I work the graveyard shift, so I'm not home to watch. Been off on Thurs and Wednesdays which led me to watch God Jab.

If they want people to buy/watch the fight, they could have lowered it down to £16.95..
I'm sure the revenue would be the same..
Example..
200k buys at £19.95 = £3,990,000
If a reduced price of £16.95 helped them gain a further 100k buys.. then
300k buys at £16.95 = £5,085,000
--------------------------------
The above is just an example.. If they really cared about the fans..
About 20% of fans are probably already saying they will buy the fight.. Another 20% may be on the fence.. Then there are fans that are thinking EFF THAT! I'm turning on Channel 5.. Mick Hennessy all the way!!
I honestly don’t think dropping the price by 3 quid would result in anywhere near an additional 100k buys. I reckon they’d have to knock a tenner off to get that much of an increase.
Well, I also worked out £13 price, at 300k was equivalent to around £4m revenue.
How much was Eubank Jr. vs. Quinlan? £12?

Overall, the card obviously isn't promising. However, Povetkin-Whyte itself is the 2nd biggest HW fight of the year, following Fury-Wilder. Also, it's especially anticipated after all that lockdown stuff and they should somehow make profit without the audience, so the situation has some sense.

As much as I love boxing I can't be paying twenty quid to see this, I'll watch the C5 show instead

Thing is, 5Spike is finished. They usually show some undercard fights..
The C5 will begin at 10pm.. Guessing they only showing the main event.

Even at £17 it's probably too steep and as previously mentioned just a few quid decrease won't get an extra 50% buys. But then if it came down to £15 it probably doesn't make them enough money based on say an extra 50k buys. And is the 200k original guess even remotely close to reality?
I struggle to see how it get that much interest honestly!

The 200k was really just an example.. Who knows how much it does..
Whyte only performs decent on PPV when he's fighting someone the fans want to see or another name boxer.
I don't think he's cracked 500k..
Parker did around 474k
Chisora 2 did around 430k
Rivas did around 289k

Got ya. Based on those numbers, maybe 200k could be expected for this one given status, interest and circumstances.
