Sky Sports Box Office PPV sales figures for Anthony Joshua and beyond (1966 - 2018)

[smashup]

I think more people streamed it illegally because they knew it was a con.

Boxing still top MMA for all the hype is still the ugly cousin with no teeth.

Don’t believe the numbers folks, for multiple reasons. First, all round numbers, which means estimates not real numbers. 2nd “Figures were taken from various media reports and sources, plus the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board.” it’s not Sky Sports numbers as clearly indicated. And 3rd, Sky Sports themselves said Mayweather/McGregor “broke the 1 million sales mark and the record set by Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko” suddenly “various media reports and sources” have given Joshua 500K more PPV sales than Sky themselves reported recently.

Someone literally MUST be lying. It’s not hard to deduce whom.

Why does it start with ALI-Cooper? Funking SKY wasn't even invented then

Not all are Sky cards either, several of the Khan and Froch ones were on that shitty "primetime tv", no way Khan got hundreds of thousands on there. The Mayweather-Hatton/McGregor/Pac numbers are terrific as they were in the early hours of the morning for Brits.

Not sure why anyone needs to "lie" about Joshua numbers? Ratings aren't such a big deal over here as in America, it's the gate which is the big deal here, and the evidence can't be disputed, Joshua is the biggest ticket seller ever. It goes hand in hand that a man consistently selling out football stadiums will also draw the biggest TV audience.

I don’t know why they need to lie. But here is Sky Sports saying so themselves

Not debating Anthony Joshua is the biggest draw. Just pointing out Sky Sports themselves disputes these “Sky Sports” numbers

Listen mate, i'm not looking to argue over something so trivial, however, you've provided an article which provides no evidence/source, it as meaningless a piece of "evidence" as any forum member making a figure up then proclaiming it to be a fact.

HOWEVER, for the record, i'm almost certain Eddie and Adam Smith (the head of boxing) or Barney Francis (Sky Sports Top Dog) have said Floyd-Mc beat a million buys/broke "a" record. They ALWAYS play numbers up not down, regardless of who's involved, that's just standard business.

[Ron Swanson]

It is Sky Sports as the source. Unlike the original piece that has "various sources" none of which is Sky FFS. If you want to push a narrative it's fine, it's regularly your thing. But when confronted by irrefutable evidence acknowledge it.

Sky Sports disagrees with these "Sky Sports" numbers and you choose to believe "various sources" over Sky Sports. This is exactly why everyone lies, because you will believe whatever you choose to believe
