Even though Wembley Arena was packed with fans witnessing one of the greatest heavyweight boxers carry on his legacy, Hearn claims that this fight did not perform well with respect to streaming. Furthermore, he goes on to state the reason he thinks the PPV sales didn’t do well.

According to the British promoter, there’s a reason why the PPV numbers of Fury Vs Whyte aren’t being discussed. He stated, “[PPV numbers] Hasn’t really been discussed, which generally means it didn’t do very well because when it done well you just tell everyone.”
