No son, reported and verified by numerous sources.
Not tweeted once by someone reporting the exact opposite at the time in question.

Who are the numerous sources who have verified this? Who are their sources?
I've mainly just seen people reporting 400,000 with reference to Rafael's claim (of course agenda-driven people have no problem dismissing his other PPV claims while accepting this), which is the case with the article you posted too (and LOL at Scott Gilfoid--those familiar with his work will probably know what I mean). If 400k is true it's quite impressive, though it's also worth noting for people who aren't aware that the Joshua PPV cost significantly less than the standard American PPV.
Regardless of the exact figures, if Joshua keeps winning as he does it's hard to see how he won't be a major star. He's got the aggressive, power-punching style and herculean build that make him a great draw for the casuals, and clearly a lot is being put into building his name.

No son, looks like one source being re-reported.

I rarely rely on one source for anything I post. But, since folks accept tweets as gospel here I see no reason for any further documentation.
Believe whatever you like...

I'd not just uncritically believe Eddie Hearn's PR spin.
But do whatever you like...

Can't fault you there.
But, in this case, I think the number is accurate even if it is a bit hard to believe.

400,000 buys in the UK = 1 buy for every 65 households.
If you believe Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte sold 400k PPV's you're a gullible fool... but hey, this is Brut's thread.... so i rest my case.

Looking at it logically like you are. Yes it is very unbelievable.
But put Joshua's nuts in your face like Brut and you may believe it too

Too many zero's.
40,000 might be more believeable.
