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

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.

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

[Ron Swanson]

And I can provide other articles where Sky Sports says the same. But who is Sky Sports to speak on their numbers right?

The figures need breaking down to give better context.

Bruno and Lewis fights were in US, so if these are sky ppv numbers, then no wonder they are lower. Joshua doesnt fight overseas (yet)
Klitchscko versus Haye comes close though
Fury for all his entertaining trash talk, just doesn't draw in comparison to Haye or Joshua.

In fact, wait till Joshua does fight overseas and see what the numbers are for that.

Ron, this isn't a fight, i'm trying to help you understand what "irrefutable evidence" actually means, bizarrely it's something that causes constant confusion/arguments on this forum.

You've provided a link to a website called mmafighting.com, right? The article is written by a man called Dave Meltzer, right? NEITHER have anything to do with Sky Sports, the writer hasn't provided a source (where does his information come from?), he is asserting "Sky Sports said" without ANY evidence provided. No quotes from Barney Francis, Adam Smith, anyone involved with Sky Sports.

It proves nothing! It's no different to "various sources," no different to a forum poster bullshitting about figures. How do you know he didn't copy an already published article?

An article/writer without a legit source is utterly meaningless. That's all i'm saying.

David Haye really conned a lot of people in all those ppv. Well done
