TYSON FURY and Francis Ngannou's pay-per-view numbers were described as "TERRIBLE" by an insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The heavyweight kings of boxing and MMA collided in Saudi Arabia in a huge crossover clash aired on PPV internationally. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Heavy favourite Fury, 35, was dropped and left stunned during the ten-rounder but controversially walked away with a points win over Ngannou, 37.<\/p>\n

Despite the excitement of the bout, it failed as a PPV blockbuster, according to professional wrestling and MMA reporter Dave Meltzer. <\/p>\n

Meltzer\u00a0said on Wrestling Observer Radio: \u201cI will have the exact numbers tomorrow, but they were terrible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWay below an AEW (All Elite Wrestling) PPV. Possibly 10k for TV orders. I will have the streaming tomorrow. <\/p>\n

For context, Jake Paul claimed his loss to Tommy Fury sold over 800,000 PPVs. <\/p>\n

And 450,000 were believed to be the number for his win over Nate Diaz in August. <\/p>\n

Canelo beat Jermell Charlo in his last bout in September with up to 700,000 PPVs reportedly sold. <\/p>\n

Despite Meltzer's report, Turki Alalshikh – who staged and financed the fight – insisted it was a PPV success. <\/p>\n

He said on The MMA Hour: "It will be one of the biggest pay-per-views ever. <\/p>\n

"I just have the number of DAZN, and DAZN doesn't cover all the world, doesn't cover in this fight especially in America and the UK, Australia, the Middle East and Africa. <\/p>\n

"DAZN is more than 200,000 subscribers, just DAZN, more than 200,000 subscribers. <\/p>\n

"I think, and I hope, we will be the most watched pay-per-view fight ever." <\/p>\n
