75,000 PPV buys isn't that bad for the Wilder vs. Helenius fight because it was a fight that should have been shown on regular FOX instead of sticking it on pay-per-view and assuming boxing fans would be willing to purchase it.

According to Forbes, Wilder made a massive $46.5M (£33m) in 2020 alone - despite fighting just the once. That figure included $500,000 (£360,000) a year from endorsements and sponsorship. That made him third wealthiest boxer behind Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Anthony Joshua.

Meanwhile, Wilder, whose only defeat in his professional career was against Fury, is guaranteed $20m (£15m,€17m) and 40% of the PPV cash.
