    2.7-3.2 if They are lucky, not many people will watch this in the comfort of their own homes, most people will make a night of it who normally wouldn't

    Yeah people are gonna chip in to all watch this at the same house or go to a bar etc. the PPV numbers won't even remotely reflect how many people actually watched the fight.

    I agree. I'd say 3.5M. When you have non-boxing fans talk about it then you know it's big. Comparing it to Rumble in the Jungle and Thrillla in Manila and other big fights, it will spark even more interest.

    I know I'm gonna buy it. Last PPV that I've spent money on was Mayweather-DLH. Huge disappointment that was.

    If Wladimir fights on the undercard vs Lennox Lewis like in Oceans Eleven. 3m +

    If someone was willing to $75 for this fight, they'll pay $100.

    Im guessing well over 3 million

    I think the 100 price will put of casual fans although social media ect gives this fight more publicity than the biggest fights in history it also gives ppl a reason to save money and catch it on a stream or highlights on YouTube

    I think it does 2 million

    I don't think the 100 bucks is going to do anything for the casual fan because the casual fan is not going to be watching that from their own house. They'll be going to their friend's house or going to a sports bar. I think everyone will EASILY throw down 100 for the fight because it's a once in every 10 years (or more) event. I think the people that say the numbers may seem low because everyone is watching it together or at bars have a point. At least no one will boycott the fight. 3+milllion easy

    Probably 4. It is amazing how social media has had such a huge impact on boxing. If Tyson-Holyfield was today, it may very well have been higher.
