DAZN has revealed the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 PPV price of £24.99/$39.95 for their rematch on December 21st at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Is the Usyk vs Fury 2 PPV Price Too High?

The $39.95 price tag for the Usyk-Fury 2 rematch that U.S fans will pay to watch it on DAZN has caused some complaints by people on social media, who feel that it should be lower due to the undercard lacking.

One example of an unhappy fan at the price: “For that undercard? No thanks.”

There would be fewer complaints at the current price if there were two or three solid undercard fights packaged with the Usyk-Fury 2 card instead of just one.

Some fans are still unhappy with the outcome of their first fight on May 18th. The referee gave Fury a very weird standing eight count in round nine, which saved Fury from being knocked out, but it tainted the fight for many fans.

It looked so bizarre how the referee stepped in and shoved Usyk out of the way while he was finishing off a badly hurt Fury. There’s no way of looking at that without concluding that Fury was saved from suffering a knockout.

Undercard Analysis: Hits and Misses

Like in the previous fight card between the former WBC heavyweight champion Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) and WBA, WBC, and WBO champ Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), there were some hits and misses.

As I said, there’s ONE excellent fight on the undercard between former WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov and former WBC interim champ Serhii Bohachuk.

Both are coming off close, competitive losses in fights they could have won if they’d done a bit more in the championship rounds. Of all the undercard fights, the Madrimov vs. Bohachuk contest is the one valuable gem. I’d have liked to have seen rematches for Bohachuk against Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Madrimov fighting Terence Crawford again.
