Benavidez vs Andrade PPV Buys: Eddie Hearn Makes Surprisingly Low Prediction
- David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade Clash Saturday Night In Las Vegas
- The Super Middleweight Fight Is Showtime’s Last Ever PPV Before Their Exit
- Eddie Hearn Has Made His Prediction For The Benavidez vs Andrade PPV Buys
David Benavidez headlines on pay-per-view for the second time in his career.
The undefeated Super Middleweight took a unanimous decision over Caleb Plant in March and now puts his interim world title at stake against the undefeated Demetrius Andrade.
Two-weight champion Andrade has long been looking for a big fight and finally extended that search to PBC last year.

Benavidez has been linked with a Canelo Alvarez bout for the better part of two years but such a clash hasn’t materialised yet and the 26-year-old is hoping that a win here can finally earn him the ‘Goldent ticket’.
Canelo has a 3-fight deal with the PBC and chose to face Jermell Charlo in the first of those contests. He is expected to finish his contract with bouts in May and September with Benavidez more likely for the September date.
Mexican contender Jaime Munguia, who could face John Ryder in early 2024, has been rumoured to be the opponent for Canelo in May.
Eddie Hearn Predicts Benavidez vs Andrade PPV Buys
“100. Between 50 and 100.” Hearn told Boxing Social
Benavidez’s March win over Caleb Plant reportedly produced 150,000 PPV buys on Showtime.
His contest with Demetrius Andrade is less-anticipated, its fair to say, and Hearn believes that the number for this fight will be between 33% and 66% of his last bout.
The strong undercard has led many to believe that it will be a similar number to Benavidez Plant but views for press conferences/all accesses are significantly below and tickets are far from a sell-out.
