Well, well, well, let me tell ya, this big fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou sure got a lot of folks talkin’. Now, I ain’t no expert, but I heard the numbers and it seems like them two got themselves a real good deal with that pay-per-view (PPV) stuff. Y’all might be wonderin’, how much did they make from that PPV business? Lemme break it down for ya in simple terms, ’cause I ain’t gonna confuse you with no big words or fancy talk.
So, first off, let’s talk about that Tyson Fury fella. From what I hear, ol’ Tyson got a big payday for this fight. Reports say he made a whopping $50 million for the match against Ngannou. Now, that’s a lotta zeros, ain’t it? But it ain’t just his fight earnings. There’s also talk about PPV shares, and sponsorships, and all sorts of things that add up to more money than most of us will ever see in a lifetime. Ain’t that somethin’?
And what about Francis Ngannou? Well, that big man sure ain’t walkin’ away empty-handed. I heard his salary for this fight was about $10 million. And don’t forget, that ain’t includin’ the money from the PPV buys! So, when you add up all the money from folks payin’ to watch this fight on their TVs, it’s safe to say both of these fellas made a pretty penny.
Now, let’s take a look at them PPV buys. It seems like Fury vs. Ngannou sold around 67,000 PPV buys in the USA alone. That’s a good number, ain’t it? Folks sure were curious to see who’s gonna come out on top, and I reckon that’s what made the fight so exciting. But let’s not get too carried away, because the big record for PPV buys still belongs to that famous fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao back in 2015. That one racked up a staggering 4.6 million buys, and I bet that’s a number no one is gonna touch for a while.
The price for this fight’s PPV wasn’t too bad either. If you were watchin’ from the USA or Canada, you’d have to fork out about $49.99 to see it. Over in the UK, it was £19.99. Now, I don’t know about y’all, but I’d say that’s a fair price to watch a couple of big ol’ fellas throw punches. Especially if you’re watchin’ from the comfort of your own home with a cold drink in hand!
How did the PPV sales compare to what folks were expectin’? Well, from what I read, the sales for this fight actually did better than a lotta folks thought they would. That’s a good sign, ’cause it means people wanted to see Fury and Ngannou go at it. It’s no surprise, I suppose, ’cause both of these men have big names and folks want to know who’s gonna come out as the baddest man in the ring.
Now, I ain’t no boxing expert, but I can tell you one thing for sure: these PPV buys and big ol’ paydays show just how big the fight game is nowadays. With all the money, sponsorships, and the global reach of pay-per-view, it ain’t just about the punches anymore—it’s about makin’ that money!
And don’t forget, the fight took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That’s a long way from home for these fighters, but I reckon they don’t mind as long as the paychecks keep comin’. After all, it’s a big ol’ world out there, and these fighters are out there doin’ what they do best to fill their pockets and give us a good show.
What does this mean for future fights? Well, if this fight between Fury and Ngannou did better than expected in the PPV sales, it might just be a sign that more big fights are gonna be happenin’. When people see these kind of numbers, they start thinkin’, “Hey, if I can make that kinda money by punchin’ folks in the ring, maybe I should give it a shot!” And with more big names on the horizon, who knows what the future of PPV holds?
So, in the end, we all got ourselves a good show, and them fighters walked away with big ol’ paychecks. Now, whether or not we’ll see another fight that does as good as this one remains to be seen, but I reckon both Fury and Ngannou ain’t gonna be complainin’ too much about their earnings!

- Tyson Fury made $50 million for the fight.

- The fight sold around 67,000 PPVs in the USA.
