    But ''nobody knows who Usyk is''?

    Usyk sold more tickets that Dillian ''PPV Star'' Whyte did in Whyte's country

    Whyte fanboys: ''But it was because of Bellew's popularity the number was that high''

    Nope it was it all down to Usyk and that's a cast-iron irrefutable fact. :deal:

    That's a good SAT vocabulary word. I like it; but was it really irrefutable? Do we have sophisticated algorithms from Rand proving it?

    I mean bellew is the main reason they sold 500k, Usyk is funny , but he’s def not a huge name anywhere outside of ukraine yet.

    I know and I wasn't being serious in the first place. That said, in addition to being a brilliant fighter, Usyk is charismatic, very funny and likeable and people warm to him quickly upon being exposed to him and seeing his personality and best believe many of those tickets and PPV sales were sold due to that.

    Wonder what those figures would have been if Whyte vs Chisora was on the same night as Warrington vs Frampton.

    More like £20, so about $26. Not as ridiculously expensive as the US, but still too much imo.

    Of course it is so, but even so, being in any fight which gets 500k ppv buys is really good for a Ukrainian cruiserweight
