    Less than Eubank Benn will do on DAZN PPV.

    I don't think Eubank v Benn will do as much as Eddie wants us to believe.

    It's just 2 average boxers, neither are world class, for no titles, who are at different weights fighting off their dad's names

    And despite that it will do impressive numbers.

    Use your nut. If that does good numbers, which it will for what you've mentioned it lacks, that's a promotional success. This is promoting.

    I remember Don King being asked by Letterman what a boxing promoter actually did.
    Any notion that it's a sport or that the top fights attract the most money, is nonsense. This fight will do OK.

    It's pretty obvious that Eddie is expecting it to do 1 milion plus buys.

    If big numbers still doesn't cover the bills then it's a failure. Whereas a less expensive show only needs to do modest numbers for it to be a success.

    A mill? No chance. AJ just done 1.2 and he's the biggest star other than Canelo.

    I think it will only do half the PPVs than if it were on Sky.

    Nah. And we won't. The fight tanked on ppv as Tyson isn't the star that all 6 of his fans on here think he is.

    But that's the joy of the modern PPV model and fighters (rather than promoters) "owning the show". The A-side fighter just has to agree a guarantee to the opponent, aim for a minimum PPV buy rate, and the rest is in their bank.

    Fury might not have done a million but as long as it did 500k it would have made money for everyone.

    But Frank was talking about huge numbers. Over 1 million. When your promoter doesn't brag about your numbers, you're not a star.

    No way does Benn Eubank do the numbers Hearn reckons (he stated more than AJ vs Ruiz which the biggest UK selling PPV of all time). However I can see it do big numbers.

    I couldn't find a pub in my local area showing the Joyce fight. 3 pubs in my local area that normally show the boxing ( all of them showed Fury vs Whyte) none them showed the Joyce fight.

    Probably so but EH has confirmed it will be available on Virgin TV for customers to buy , that's a big step forward for DAZN imo and from what I'm hearing there's more to come re. accessibility in future.
