History

Historical Context

The May 2015 Mayweather-Pacquiao bout shattered records with 4.6 million PPV buys and about $410 million revenue, the first joint HBO-Showtime broadcast and a clear sign of boxing’s shift toward global streaming and premium pricing. That precedent underpins the 2024 Anthony Joshua-Kristian Prenga fight, streamed on DAZN during Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season for $59.99, while promoter Eddie Hearn negotiates a multi-billion-dollar Joshua-Fury deal.
