Arum believes Wilder vs. Fury does 4.6 million PPV buys

[smashup]

This has now become THE biggest fight in boxing.
Joshua & Hearn must be shell shocked at how things have changed in the last few weeks.
Not sure of the PPV buys Arums thinking but this is huge and will sell shitloads.
The way Arums marketing Fury in the US is brilliant and Fury really is a promoters dream.

Anyone know if there was only 9000 fans in the MGM as the article claims?

He doesnt actually believe that, but saying so isnt going to make it sell any less. I think the numbers for the first fight were underwhelming, and given the fight exceeded all expectations and both guys have looked good getting their gimmes out of the way, the rematch should definitely do much better. At a guess it may do numbers closer to the Canelo GGG fights, around one million something.

Doubt it sells that many

Why would it go from 325,000 to 4.6 on the first rematch? Sometimes it goes up and sometimes down. But not that kind of up.

In the age of illegal streaming numbers will just go down and down.
According to the BBC 1.1 million people in the UK alone watched Joshua v Ruiz on illegal streams.
