I know it's not accurate, but it's viewing figures..
According to BARB, the weekly reach for the week was 474,000..
There was no other events on Box Office that week I don't think.
Based on past numbers provided by BARB, they're usually a little higher than ppv buy figures officially released by either Sky Sports and/or Hearn.. Sky don't usually report their figures like HBO and Showtime do in the States.
Excluding pay-per-view revenue, Whyte and Parker pocketed just over £1m each from the fight.
The event would have generated around £10m just based on PPV sales. half of which would go to Sky.. Leaving £5m.. promoters and the other fees that would be taken from that figure.. Whyte was due to receive additional income based on PPV shares.. all in all, without working anything out, he would likely have gotten a further £1m-£2 million on top of his already £1 base purse.
--------------------------------
Does this mean Whyte's next fight in December will be on Box Office as well.. or just depending on opponent?
If it's Chisora, will Hearn slap a PPV price on it? £19.95 or lower?
Demand for that fight is big, but not sure people would want to pay on top of their subscription to watch it.

So it goes from a AJ undercard fight straight to headlining it's own PPV..

No way should be it be £19.95 though.
What was the price a while ago? Was it usually £16.95?

The difficulty here is the first hour of the PPV broadcast was shown on SKY Box Office unencrypted. The first 60 minutes were available for free to nearly 11 million SKY households. People who tuned in just for the first hour, but didn't buy the PPV, would certainly impact the Barb figure.
Interestingly Eddie stated today in the Independent that if he put Whyte vs Chisora on PPV the week leading up to Christmas it would struggle to do 50,000 buys.

I'd be surprised if Whyte vs. Parker did more than 200,000 buys.

Yeh, I read that.. I also think the BARB figures are always more than the actual ppv buy's..
BARB states Joshua vs. Parker did 1.4 million, but Hearn said it did 1.2 million.
BARB goes off viewers, not buys.. So it could be someone that's watched the broadcast on repeat too?
