They actually make more money this way. It'll probably go up on youtube later for free and they'll take that money anyway too.

I saw a tweet earlier that they had 200,000 on the official stream at around 17:30. That's a minimum of 200,000 people paying £6 (IIRC).Don't understand why they didn't put it on YouTube for free with ads. Seems like a lot of people are watching it
edit - official stream has 779K viewing.

Ah fair enough that's a considerable amount.I saw a tweet earlier that they had 200,000 on the official stream at around 17:30. That's a minimum of 200,000 people paying £6 (IIRC).
I don't even like boxing, but I can't understand why people would pay to watch an amateur fight
Money made on a Youtube stream is very low per viewer. It doesn't take too many to buy a PPV for it to bring in the money.Possibly mate but I imagine most are just watching on dodgy streams
Plus remember how young the target audience is. Most of those fuckers don't illegally stream this stuff

It's not me and you mate (alright, I'm watching it on a dodgy stream as I'm bored). It's parents paying £6 for their kids / teens to watch. You're not going to mess around finding a dodgy stream when you can pay £6 and keep them happy for 3-4 hours.Ah fair enough that's a considerable amount.
