Froch had the fight against Dirrell on Primetime and sold I believe around 50,000 PPV, If someone knows that exact figure can they post it here with a link please? Khan has done that many on SBO so it will be interesting to see how many sales he gets on Primetime, Do you think Khan can outsell Froch on Primetime in terms of number of PPV?
The highest audience for a Froch fight on Primetime is believed to in the region of 35,000 This content is protected
I beleive the first fight, with Dirrell, got 15,000 buys and the one with Kessler 50,000. Can Khan out do thay? maybe, in his favour is he's much better known than Froch to the average sportsfan, on the other hand Froch vs Kessler was an important, even fight and this is widely expected to be a walkover for him against an unremarkable opponant so less worthy of ppv money. I'd expect him to do somewhere between those 2 figures, 30,000 ish.
Khan's a bigger name to the average sports fan. ive seen adverts in the paper for the fight tomoz , i expect Khan to do more then froch.
I'd be suprised if he did. Most of Khan's fans probably had never heard of primetime before last weekend.
I don't think it's a case of popularity - I think it'll come down to whether Primetime can handle the demand. They've already said that the demand is phenomenal and that we should all order now to avoid disappointment. Considering it's a family business with the husband and wife answering the phones and their son managing the video output on his laptop, I think they're going to struggle. If their portacabin loses internet connection then they're ****ed. I just hope Mr and Mrs Primetime haven't bitten off more than they can chew here.
Primetime will get easily over 100k buys, Im buying myself and I know primetime are really pushing out the advertising.
Froch vs Dirrel sold 50k but they really tried hyping that. Didn't Khans first PPV only get 90k and it bombed for sky.
Yes, as awful and incompetent as Team Khan are they are still light years ahead of Mick Hennessey who couldn't promote a bucket of water in a house fire.
the only thing khans team have in their favour is that Sky had already hyped the fight for them. however, if khan couldnt sell 100,000 PPVs on Sky, I'm not sure how anyone thinks this will be achieved on Primetime
