Shakur Stevenson posted his reaction to the reported 340,000 ppv purchases generated for the February 22 event, which was by the Artur Betterbiev against Dmitri Biscvol 2 Rematch in Riyadh.
Interestingly, it seemed as if Stevenson attributed the success of the event to himself after one of his barefooting followers said he had “silenced” the critics with the ‘PPV hits 340,000.’ He tried to make the glory.
Main event draws
People who ordered the Betterbiev-bivol 2 event almost certainly did this because they wanted to see the main file. Shakur’s presence on the map created very little interest from fans, even before his originally scheduled opponent, Floyd Schofield, pulled out of the fight due to a mysterious illness.
The reality is that WBC lightweight champion Stevenson (23-0, 11 COs) played a very small role in the success of the 22nd event on Dazn ppv Because his fight against the electrician, Josh Padley, was buried on the fight of the undercap Shakur with the little well-known part-time fighter, Padley (15-1, 4 COs) was considered filler. It was just there to take room.
It was PPV numbers worldwide, not US figures. There are rumors that the US is 50k, which is exceptionally horrible. To be so low, it indicates that American box fans considered this event unworthy to order, even at the reasonable $ 25.99 price of $ 25.99.
Shakur is not a pay-per-View fighter, and it is likely that he will never be, because his fighting style is not one that the American fans are interested in watching. He is not a knockout, and the run around the ring substances he does has led him to struggle in his fights.
Fortunately, Stevenson did not struggle in Riyadh in February, but that is because the fans are polite. They probably thrown quietly in their heads.
Beat the chance of do numbers and remain humble! https://t.co/jluli7hgdp
