The Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn pay per view buys have absolutely wildly being successful, information is coming in today and in live time.
This is huge for boxing, another huge commercial vote of confidence worldwide on the sport.
Event and Conor Benn promoter, Eddie Hearn, told Talk Sport earlier the event did more than one million buys worldwide on pay per view.
That is brilliant, truly, really, great news.
Some things to importantly note quickly on this to capitalize on in these events moving forward for all concerned.
Price point appears to now be better known what works in the new era of streaming and online content consumption.
Good.
But at what point can that balance be saught to maximize profits as well as growing the sport and giving fans a good price?
Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn Pay Per View Buys The New Blueprint
Looks like Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn is the worldwide blue print because Hearn is talking about worldwide buys here, not just the UK or Europe.
This is important to know and like we said, we knew America and other places worldwide would be interested in this.
Just one more thing Eddie Hearn and Ben Shalom.
And Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn.
You can thank Chris Eubank senior for some of that too.
His last minute entrance to the show last weekend will have driven pay per view buys hugely at the last minute.
That’s how pay per view works sometimes.
You’d be surprised what can be achieved on the day and the night of the fight.
Tremendous.
Be more aggressive, go further, much to build-on.
Crucially the fight delivered in the ring.
Credit to the tiny country of the UK too, while a dump of a place and a wasteland as a country, boxing in the UK and people, the boxers and organizers, in the UK involved in boxing, are some of life’s great survivors, the lot of them, great people.
We have great time for them all.
Boxing and professional sport is now the bright light for the UK in an other wise very dark time for a now vastly smaller and much weaker country than what it was commercially and militarily, even less than a decade ago.
In the real world if there was a war in the morning Russia would flatten the UK easily. North Korea too. China wouldn’t even have to lift a finger and they’d wipe the UK out totally (and will consider doing so in the time ahead, rest assured on that) over night in cyber, land and traditional sea warfare.
But when it comes to the wars in the boxing ring, the fights and wars in that squared circle, the UK continues to be pound for pound one of the main forces in world boxing.
They have done massive things here with this, it’s a good result. It really is.
Well done.
Well done Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn.
If a rematch happens, it will be going to the moon, to space it will be so successful.
