Information has emerged on the number of paid views generated by the championship fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

According to ESPN, the Usyk-Fury fight generated over $50 million in revenue from pay-per-view (PPV) with more than 1.5 million purchases, the majority coming from the UK, where Fury is a megastar.

The major boxing event also earned $40 million from sponsorships and over $3 million from ticket sales. In total—considering production, fighter fees, entertainment, travel, etc.—the event cost approximately $120 million.

After his victory over Fury in May, Usyk became the undisputed world champion. The second fight between the boxers is scheduled for December.

Turki Al-Sheikh, head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, announced the date of the rematch on his X page. The fight is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital, on December 21.
