On the morning of February 2, the organizers announced the detailed broadcast plan as well as the viewing fee in the form of Pay-Perra (the audience paid for viewing) for the Heavyweight Championship match between Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr USYK.
Specifically, this competition found the absolute champion of the Heavyweight boxing boxing after more than 2 decades will be broadcast live on paid TV channels such as Dazn, TNT Sports and Sky Sports in the US, UK and other regions.
What stunned fans is the terrible Pay-Perra fee of up to 69.99 USD, equivalent to nearly 1.7 million. This figure is many times higher than previous matches, which makes the online community discontent.
But it is worth mentioning that this fee is only for television audiences in the US market. In the UK, Fury's homeland as well as other regions in the world have not been announced.
Interestingly, the $ 69.99 fee to watch the most historic boxing match in the past 25 years of American audiences is lower than Tyson Fury's previous match against former UFC Francis Ngannou in October last year.
At that time, the fare for the competition between Fury vs nunnou up to 79.99 USD for American fans and in the UK was 29.95 pounds (nearly 700 thousand VND) even though this was the first time the “predator” nunnou tried with professional boxing and the match lasted only 10 rounds.
Although, just moved to the Heavyweight at the end of 2018 and only 5 matches, USYK has attracted more than 4.5 million to buy PPV in his career. This is an impressive number for a fairly new boxer in this weight class.
In the opposite direction, “The Gypsy King” is the most popular name in the current boxing village. The loud matches of the British puncher attracted nearly 5 million to buy PPV so far. Particularly for the match against Deontay Wilder in early 2020, sold about 2 million PPV.
The Heavyweight Boxing Boxing match between Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr usyk will take place on February 17.
