Wanted to start a poll

325-400, I'm not seeing anything on it. When they advertised the Kobe special and replayed the fight that last Rd could help. Otherwise it was pretty dire, though tense. I'm not buying this one. Lol, until I do.

Yeah 325 to 400K sounds about right

Most rematches involving typical fighters usually attract smaller audience figures than the first bout. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case for fights involving big names that are headlining PPV’s.

So I kind of torn.

My gut instinct expects the US PPV buyrate to be moderately disappointing, well below the 325K mark (based on Wilder’s track record), but Fox seems to have a bigger customer base than Showtime, meaning that it could defy expectations and achieve in the region of 500K to 600K buys.

Fox are new to the US boxing PPV market, rendering any predictions extremely challenging due to a distinct lack of data illustrating the historical trend.

I’m not going to sit on the fence though, so I’ll go with my gut instinct and say the Wilder-Fury rematch achieves less than 325K PPV buys.

Hope they can sell it. But, still need better undercard thou.

my estimate is 378,274. I'm also good at guessing jelly beans in a jar.

Two predictions:
Wilder/Fury 2 does 500k ppv
I will not be one of those buyers

about 450,000... shame thats not an option on the poll...

about a hundred or so

The first fights advertising budget was small and on showtime. This one has been pricey... if it does under 750k its a massive failure.

Arum claims 4.6 million

I saw those ads (not during the game), I know that the SB has a huge audience but I wouldn't expect those rushed little segments to be a big game changer? I wonder how many viewers even remember those ads, amid all the other advertising rush and of course the game itself and parties

Hahahahahahah!

If that happens... then boxing has broken into the mainstream again

yes but he is senile

I think it could maybe hit 1 million. It could have done better if the first fight was not such a crap contest, and may have helped some is if it was done sooner instead of waiting so long. Fury fighting tomato cans in between didn't help his popularity any either.

Arum says over 4 million? Wow, I think 1 million is a stretch.

It didn't do itself any favors with that undercard they announced...yes buys are generated by the main event for the most part but it just keeps getting worse as time goes on..

At his age it is a surprise if they aren't at least a little bit senile.

Wasnt aware Navarrete was on the card...my bad...I like that guy...
Still a below avg undercard for a big Vegas " superfight"..

I don't think it does close to a million...
Very difficult to get the real numbers nowadays anyway...so much bs

About two weeks to sell it.
Both names carry some weight and have been out there promoting themselves and the fight.
How much are they asking for the PPV card U.S ?
That will answer a lot of questions.
