Supposedly Ruiz-Joshua sold 1.6m ppvs in the UK which would add about $25m to the $60m+ site fee they supposedly got from KSA (plus a few million from DAZN who got it at a discount because it wasn't in the US)

10 years ago I was about as close to the brink as you can get while on the eve of starting one of the biggest jobs in British boxing. A horrible period followed and for a while there seemed no way through. It’s taken time, a decade on, but now is the happiest time of my life.

Worst thing about the Freddie interview was him implying that Ben is a one-trick pony and only coaches one way. The stuff about wanting Tyson to apply pressure simply shows he doesn’t know as much about Fury as Davison does. Either way, it’s ugly viewing.
