Anthony Joshua defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr attracts almost 1m unlicensed UK viewers

06 June 2019

More than 13m people across the world - nearly 1m in the UK - used unauthorised channels to watch Anthony Joshua lose his heavyweight world titles to Andy Ruiz Jr, claims a piracy company.

According to data from MUSO, there were 921,994 unlicensed viewers in the UK.

Joshua's parents hail from Nigeria, which had the biggest share of 2.35m.

The worldwide total is the highest since MUSO began tracking boxing in 2017, beating the 9.98m for the Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight in December.

The UK is third on the list of audiences by country behind Kenya (998,027), with 93% of the worldwide audience using YouTube.

"We saw how popular the Fury v Wilder fight was across piracy networks," said Muso's chief executive and co-founder, Andy Chatterley.

"The Joshua v Ruiz fight has been the largest unauthorised audience that we've ever tracked across boxing and it's staggering to see that 93% of the audience watched via YouTube.

"The official pay-per-view audience figures have yet to be published, but this is a massive audience that's being ignored.

"This highly engaged audience offers up huge insight and perhaps, more importantly, significant commercial opportunity."

Yeah, I shut off DAZN and found a free stream too. Better video quality, no buffering issues

... That's why PPVs hit the wall... and that's why DAZN was supposed to do things better (but not in Nigeria, I guess)...

Yup most of the streams came from countries DAZN is not in or from YouTube channels that posted a replay of the fight after it was over violating copyright. YouTube shuts them down 1 by 1 but takes hours or even a day before they find them all lol

Paying almost 100 bucks for 1 fight is not sustainable in today's technology when you can find a illegal stream, play wack a mole game after the fight and try and find a replay video before it gets shut down or subscribe and legally watch fights for fraction. All better options then forking over huge PPV prices.

... I'm following the "online IT technology" since mid '90's... There's nothing to be done against "illegal streaming"... The only real solution consists in huge gate money!!! This is the only real answer!!!

How do they track it anyway?

I don't understand how the illegal streams are always better than the DAZN stream????

Me neither, but I don't argue with success.

They should set up something like a Dazn go fund me page for those like myself who feel a little guilty and would like to contribute. It was a great show and those responsible should get paid. I’d throw in $10

Long term maybe the Mexican solution is the best. In Mexico I watched Canelo/Jacobs on free commercial tv. Only drawback was that the commercials ran longer than 1 minute between rounds so by the end of the fight the broadcast was more than a round behind.
