The interesting part for me is that the UFC HW division, shallow as a puddle of piss that it is, still currently attracts far more interest than boxing's. Fury vs Wilder got a shit ton of promotion and was the 2nd biggest fight that could be made at HW, yet it draws less than two UFC HW title fights and only a bit more than a 3rd, which everyone knew was a complete throwaway fight. You add Brock back into the mix and HW boxing looks like a wasteland in comparison.

i think it was a little more but definitely under 20 bucks. could just be the CDN exchange rate though. i watched it with my son. it was pretty much conor vs floyd for 11 year olds
I just looked it up. It was $10.00 here. They would have sold so many more PPVs if it hadn't been illegally streamed by a likely record amount of people. 1.2 million concurrent views on Twitch.

their target was kids who spend all day on the internet.they are pretty much the illegal streaming demographic.its crazy to think that an event like that beat out almost all of the ppvs in mma and boxing this year

I have to disagree. Those guys have millions of fans who would buy - or their parents would buy should I say - a PPV of them just existing
