Enormous PPV Price For Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Revealed

The Fury vs. Ngannou PPV price is quite high.

The asking price for Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou has been unveiled, and it is not cheap.

Fury will do battle with former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou in a boxing match on October 28. Ngannou was given this opportunity after ditching the UFC in favor of a deal with the PFL. The contract with his new MMA home has allowed him to trade leather with "The Gypsy King" in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

As for that pay-per-view price, it's a doozy. In an official announcement, it was revealed that Fury vs. Ngannou will carry a whopping $79.99 price tag in the United States for the ESPN+ PPV broadcast. That's a lot for a bout many consider to be a circus act, but when big payouts have to be made, this is what you get.

It's also a very high price tag for a matchup that Fury and his team seemingly aren't taking seriously. After all, Queensberry Promotions and Top Rank Boxing were more than happy to announce Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk weeks before the Ngannou fight. 

Many have taken the Fury vs. Usyk announcement as a slight towards Ngannou, but it'll also be interesting to see if that announcement will stifle the PPV buys given that a far more enticing undisputed heavyweight championship fight is on the horizon.

With all of that said, Francis Ngannou has insisted that he will shock the world against Tyson Fury. Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has been training with Ngannou and is confident that Fury will go to sleep if "The Predator" lands a clean punch.
