    Forbes Magazine does.

    So I should ignore reporting by Forbes Magazine (regarding Wilder's 10 million illegal streams) and I should ignore USA Today's reporter (who said Joshua only got 15,000 DAZN streamers) ...

    But I should listen to YOU?

    Keep banging your head against the wall.

    Maybe Joshua will sign for his rematch with Wlad and you can spend the next four months telling us how it's the best fight that can be made.

    What a joke. Take off the blinders, fanboy.

    The numbers of illegal stream is all guess work. It doesn't mean squat.

    Cause promoters give them away and huge discount are given to the remaining tickets. They don't want to show an empty arena and they would rather have people in the seats spending money at he concessions.

    That is not true, they do not pluck the number out of the air. There are multiple factors they consider for this. I imagine they can narrow it down and then do the ol' one eyed dart throw.
    With that said I don't care how many people streamed, but there are metrics they look at.

    Its guess work. Only way to know is tap the link to the stream site. You need a court order to do that. So there really is no way to know. You can saying its 15k or 100k is all valid cause its all guess. Which in turns mean squat.

    Maybe I am putting too much faith in journalistic integrity, but you are saying, with no qualifying factors, they just said "Hey Jim, pick a number" ?

    Pretty much. These are guesstimate with no actual data or fact to even back up the claims. No link or reference source on these numbers.

    They have to now thank Eddie Hearn for getting more tickets sold.

    Anyone know how much these are going for face value? If I were local I’d have gone if I picked up tickets on the cheap

    A widely promoted World Heavyweight Championship bout between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder may have ended in a score draw on Saturday, but the real fight for the future of boxing is taking place outside the ring, according to Muso.

    The digital piracy specialists have analysed Saturday’s bout and concluded that the live event drew a global piracy audience of 9.98 million as punters opted to forego coughing up for the pay per view (PPV) event.

    Muso noted that the fight was available on no fewer than 133 piracy streaming domains plus 80 YouTube live links, with the video sharing platform cornering the largest single audience share of pirates at 18%.

    So the fight was that important and that big that millions refused to pay. Great job.
