    Usyk vs. Chisora did 1.059.000 PPV on Sky
    Joshua vs. Pulev did 930.000 PPV

    Of course, this doesn't show that Usyk is a bigger draw or anything, but proves that he has a pretty good star power on his own.

    His fight vs. Bellew did 819.000 PPV.

    For example, Whyte vs Povetkin did 220.000 PPV.

    Usyk might be the 3rd biggest star in the UK currently, very likely a more valued commodity overall than Wilder atm.

    Alot of people want to see that scrawny Usyk beaten to a pulp by a huge beer belly behemoth, that's why. Quite similar to when Amir Khan use to fight on PPV, and people wanted to see him stopped cold.

    Usyk doesn't seem very hated.

    It didn’t happen. Hearn would have been screaming from the rooftops and signing Usyk to a long term deal.
    From all accounts It did just north of 200k buys which is a solid figure for that fight and card

    Very impressive numbers for Usyk fights in the UK which bodes well for potential fights with AJ, Tyson Fury and Joe Joyce.
