Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 DAZN PPV Price Revealed

We are just a little over a month out from the highly anticipated rematch for the unified and lineal heavyweight crown between the champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs)  & Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). Earlier in the week, DAZN got a jump start on the event’s marketing by making it available to purchase on their platform for $39.99 in the U.S. (£24.99 in the UK).

The price point is the topic of discussion here as Turki Alalshikh has publicly been against the eye-gauging PPV prices of the past and said over the summer that his events would be at the $19.99 price point here in the U.S.

In an interview with TalkSport, Alshikh said, “You mention the pay-per-view; I think this is my next big fight, and I want your advice also,” Turki told on Talk Sport’s Jordan and White show. “I dream of a pay-per-view with a good price to make the fans happy and subscribe and get them to watch it legally. Usually, when I see a high pay-per-view, a lot of people go and watch the fight illegally, and this is not healthy for boxing and the platform. What I will try to push is to have our Riyadh Season shows at less than £20 in England and less than $20 around the world. I would prefer to have one million fans subscribe and buy the pay-per-view for £20 than less than less than 500,000 [fans paying £40].”

That began with Daniel Dubois vs. Anthony Joshua in September, and the idea was to put pressure on the other promotional companies to lower the price of their PPV events. Now, with this fight being $39.99, it means he has backtracked on his comments, and although it’s still half of what it traditionally costs any other time, how confident are fans of the sport that it won’t go right back up to the status quo within the next 12 months?
