    source: ESPN First take

    Decent numbers for a 5am fight, the rematch should do over 1 million

    Joshua vs fat boy won't do that. They will expect it to though. Calamity all round from Hearn the snake. Should have boxed Whyte in April.

    Impressive, particularly given Fury's performances against Seferi and Pianeta.

    It will still do decent numbers, the die hards, the casual lads lads lads espically after the champions league final and the single thirsty mums/sluts who tweet heart emoji's and dick emoji's to joshua

    Great numbers if true! Well done to Fury

    I think AJ will massively out do that but that's because of the casual fan base he seems to have. I won't be buying it I know that

    Joshua will still do more but these are good numbers if true. Have to take it with a pinch of salt if its coming from ESPN as they are now on the same team as Fury.

    Warren would’ve been shouting from the rooftops if those figures are correct.

    Huge numbers

    Bit unfair though to compare Joshua vs Ruiz Jr to Wilder vs Fury, different scale of fight

    Didn’t think BT had the machine behind them to produce such numbers

    900k people watched Fury Vs Pianeta, so the audience is there just depends on how many would go on to buy the Wilder fight

    Fake news.....just because Fury threw this number out on First Take doesn't mean it's true.
