The February 22, recurrence between undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Betterbiev and Dmitri Biblical brought 340k ppv worldwide.
Report the ring The pay-per-view purchase rate for the Betterbiev-bivolol 2 match. Although these numbers may look reasonable at first glance, they cannot reveal what the PPV is buying for the US, probably the largest market for the fight.
It is believed that it was low. You cannot celebrate 340k worldwide because it ignores the lack of interest that American fans had in this case due to the poor headlist. The Betterbiev against Bivol Rematch was a bad idea.
Boring biblical
Their first battle was boring to look at, and the supporters who remember how dull it was was not interested in seeing a second collision four months later. It’s like seeing a bad movie and being asked to see it again. People don’t want it. The Saudi should get an idea and understand that fans are not interested in seeing better biev and Biblical fighting again.
Not enough fans want to see these two fight a third time. The Low PPV Totals for the February 22nd event tell you everything you need to know. People hate this game, and that’s understandable why. Biblical is so dull to look at, and betterbiev has grown old and slow. He can no longer cut off the ring, and he does not let his hands go as he used to be younger.
The organizers of the event must understand the market. If they see that a fight is dull and has low PPV numbers, it is not a good idea to set up a rematch. Since Bivol’s fighting style is awful to look at our fans, it’s only interesting to fit guys like him against young murderers. Betterbiev (40) is too slow and old to a keeper like Biblical to chase the ring for 12 rounds.
Biblical had to work in a re -broadcast by fighting one of the top lightweight contenders on light. He should have been ‘Last Cresendo’ event on the bottom map of the February 22, rather than getting a re -broadcast after a loss. He was beaten by Betterbiev in their first fight last October. As someone has beaten, they have to align and work back, rather than get a re -broadcast that American fans do not want to see.
Last Cresendo’s bottom map
- Carlos Adames vs. Hamzah sheeraz
- Shakur Stevenson vs. Josh Padley
- Zhilei Zhang vs. Agit Kabayel
- Ziyad Almaayouf vs. Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira
The type of fighters the Saudi must match with a boring runner like Biblical are guys who can cut off the ring and cut him off in oblivion, such as David Benavidez or someone with power like David Morrell. The 40-year-old Artur Betterbiev does not have the youth to chase Biblical in the ring, and fans do not want to watch the boring battles.
