Most viewed fight on DAZN and did more PPV buys in UK than any other fight in 2019. Edward rarely misses a trick.
Edward priced it at £9.99 didn't he so its not like for like price wise? It wouldn't have done those numbers at the standard UK PPV entry price. Still it is incredible how the world is changing and what vast quantities of younger consumers will pay a premium price for. Tommy Fury has probably been 'laid out' since the summer for the next of these types of celeb fights rather than make his ring return on the undercard at the York Hall for £5k.
There was a great interview with Tyson Fury in the Sunday Times magazine last Sunday which is worth a read for boxing fans if you can get your hands on a copy online somewhere.

That plain dry training meal Molly Mae cooked for Tommy went viral the other day. That was because he is getting a little fight before xmas, it'll be a 5k jobby, but the publicity is priceless. Your timing is off but you're there or thereabouts with his career path.

The training meal was funny but Molly probably couldn't cook anything more edible and their PR people spun it that way.

And it's not like any old promoter could pull it off if given the oppertunity. Was his daughter's idea aswell, imagine she's inline for a nice xmas bonus.

Brick Top must be doing his nut.
Fast car living the dream bowling around LA in his $10 shades that he nipped Kugan for
Billie Joe jumped ship, and the Yanks have all but taken Tyson from him, too.
Although he's got Dubois, who could develop into an awesome fighter.
Should keep the Copperbox busy in 2020, though

It was priced lower so not exactly like for like. However I’m not sure that demand would be all that price sensitive. I’d love to see a breakdown of buyers, I suspect a decent percentage of them would be first time buyers of PPV boxing. I didn’t contemplated getting it and no boxing fans I’ve spoken to bought it. This was a completely different fan base to the usual boxing PPV. Either way I’m fairly sure this won’t be the last fight of this ilk that Edward puts on.

It's a no brainer for Eddie to do this. It's like a separate business division though and hardly comparable to proper PPV championship boxing. Fair play to him for giving it a spin though plenty wouldn't have gambled.

Wasn't much of a gamble, just had to admit he'd gotten it wrong, and take some flak, which he gets all the time anyway
He thought it was a pisstake first time around, but when he saw the numbers it was generating he realised there was an angle.
Kugan posted that ifl got ~11m views over 24 hours in the aftermath, which is insane as the onyl videos there that get tons of views are fast car and AJ.
Smart for the boxers that got themselves involved, as I'm sure they picked up some followers on the back of it.
License to print for them all.

There’s shameless and then there is Eddie. We had the tears a couple of weeks ago when a fighter died on one of his shows, highlighting the dangers of the sport. Fast forward a few weeks and known drug cheat Chavez Jnr refuses to give a sample to VADA and therefore gets suspended by NSAC. Does Eddie sack him off? Nope he gets on the blower to other commissions until he finds one that will let the fight go ahead. Can’t risk losing a few pounds notes.

They said he should have taken the test, but he wasn't signed up to fight yet?
Surely it's up to Jacobs, and if he's not happy it doesn't go ahead?

Found them talking about it, and thankfully not in the middle of a long one.
I had a look, but could only find he'd been done for cannabis on first search.

He’s failed for a diuretic too. Whether or not Jacobs is happy to fight is irrelevant. There are loads of clips out there if Eddie condemning drug cheats in the past, however when it impacts his ability to earn a pound note he’s happy to turn a blind eye. Never change Eddie. The sport is a joke for rewarding drug cheats. Yildirim has been handed a World Title shot despite testing positive for two banned substances.

Ah, I didn't see anything on diiuretics, but only spent a few minutes looking and then my workmail started blowing up. I don't disagree, but feel it's a bit harsh to saddle him with all the blame. They're all as bad as one another, but figuers he is the one that's going to get the most flak when he's the busiest in media etc.
Yildrim probably needed some social narcotics as well, to get over getting sparked by junior

Lazy old Chavez Jr rocking up in the shape of his life is setting off alarm bells. A month out and even his gargantuan mug looks slimmer. Commissions know who they want to test.
