Last 2 digits of my post is how many PPV's Lil G sells.
Jace Nguyen
CORONA
David Lewis
Ppv will die soon for boxing. They cannot compete with the ufc. Even shit cards sell more than kov vs ward. Time to move to another business model.
Wyatt Garcia
95k is pretty optimistic, Tbh
Nathaniel Cooper
That's what PBC is doing, Thurman vs Garcia peaked at 5.1 million viewers on CBS. PPV is still the best platform for mega fights though, it was only 2 years ago Mayweather vs Pacquiao did nearly 5 million buys and in the UK PPV is growing stronger, Haye vs Bellew just did great numbers which shows it comes down to the quality of the fights and how well they appeal to the mainstream.
Connor Martinez
it's time to stop paying boxers millions for every fight
Juan Davis
>KeAndrae
What the fuck is wrong with Americans?
Zachary Morales
The price in America is absurd. I resent even paying £20 for a good fight like Joshua vs Klitschko
>'user...we've had a lot of shitposting from you recently. A lot of emotions running high....talk us through it. Is the autism affecting you for this camp?
Ian Adams
Supply and demand, most of them don't make millions per fight and the ones that do justify it. Golovkin has always been a shitty draw.
Brody Brown
The cable provider takes 50% that's why the prices are such a joke
Oliver Hughes
>Gennady Golovkin vs Daniel Jacobs >Roman Gonzalez vs Sor Rungvisai >Marco Huck vs Mairis Briedis >Liam Smith vs Liam Williams
Four guaranteed wars
Who R U Picking?
Daniel Parker
I think it's typically 45% for the cable provider and then another 10% for the distribution network. HBO and Showtime would love nothing more than to get away from PPV because there's not much money in it for them, but promoters force them to because they can put on their own shows like Top Rank has done a few times already.
The premium channels are also kept afloat to bloat gigantic package deals you have to purchase if you want cable. TV is a shady business.
How much do the fighters get paid for the regular matchroom and Warren fight nights?
I mean they seem to have deep cards, with like 8-10 fights and often a world title fight with a few minor titles. They attract maybe like 10k attendance.
Im curious what the purses for these fight nights are.
Joseph Sullivan
Jacobs Gonzalez Huck Williams
Christopher Lopez
mite b cool
Depends what weightclasses though
Some sort of proper tournament would be great in a stacked weightclass (like welterweight)
Joseph Gomez
Was discussed a lot a couple of threads ago. I'm interested, I think they need a couple of big names to be a commercial success. It's basically prizefighter on a bigger scale.
Angel Moore
Golovkin to KO Jacobs within 7 rounds Chocolatito by UD Huck by SD Smith/Williams Majority Draw
Hudson Walker
GGG,Choc,Briedis and I guess... Smith?
Owen Russell
Read about this the other day. Depends what the goal is. Have they announced any weight classes or additional information yet?
Reminds me of the Super Six Classic that was a pretty slow burner due to pull-outs.
The boxing boards need to sort themselves out in regard to titles and champions, not make it even more confusing to casuals
Jonathan Cox
>Americans *African-Americans. Learn the difference, lad. It could save your life
Sebastian Powell
Blacks aren't considered Americans
Matthew Sanchez
super-welterweight would be perfect
Jermell Charlo v Erislandy Lara Demetrius Andrade v Smith or Williams Erickson Lubin v Jarrett Hurd Kanat Islam v Austin Trout
Luis Phillips
Super welterweight and Cruiserweight were the 2 divisions they're looking at but nothing decided. Super six took 2 years and was a mess with group stages and pull outs, the structure is more like matchroom's prizefighter quarter final to final 3 fights but spread out over 7 months rather than one night.
They said they want champions involved and it will be held in Las Vegas, New York and Europe. It has potential, I think it all depends on who they can persuade to sign up for it.
Aaron Jackson
>Cruiserweight Really don't need Richard Schaefer and Sauerland fucking up the best division in boxing.
Elijah Butler
Thinking of subscribing to BoxNation. Anybody here a subscriber? Their platform looks pretty solid. In addition to the live fights they broadcast nothing but boxing and box related news 24/7. Is it worth it lads?
Luke Fisher
Why is roman Gonzalez fighting cuadras left over? What a bum...
Isaiah Cooper
What's this bitch Instagram?
Carson Garcia
he wants cherry-pick opponents now
James Adams
P4P my ass
Gavin Jackson
>The same goes with modern boxers today: Pacquiao, Mayweather- they're pitiful, I could have beaten all of them Is he right, /box/?
Andrew Brooks
GGG's draws are pretty good on premium cable (HBO) and attendance wise. It's just that his PPV is bad.
It doesn't help that his opponents want exorbitant amounts of money because it's danger pay for fighting him.
Adrian Fisher
if they never fight we'll never know
It happens in every sport, old legends say bullshit like that but in reality is pure guess or just banter
Ayden Cook
I remember Eddie Hearn talking to an American fighter who's undefeated and he said "$25k" to him during a post-fight interview. In the UK they don't generally release purses, so it's really tough to know for stuff like the undercards and shit.
Aaron Howard
>Move up to 115 >Fight the #2 guy in his home with no tuneups >Have him foul you all night, slapping you with the inside of the gloves >Beat his ass and get the belt that he """won""" with a technical decision. >Tell him "fuck you pay me" when he asks for a rematch. >Have him crying about facial damage like it's a scoring criteria. >Fight the guy that HE DUCKED to rematch right after. >Estrada still begging for a fight and following you like a loyal bitch.
Why is GOATcolatito such a G?
Kayden Gray
GGG vs Jacobs won't be a war, it'll be a fucking beatdown. I'm on the kazakh by complete outboxing to an 6th round KO at the very latest.
Anthony Roberts
Yeah it's a shame he's still so unheard of, the guy always shows up and every fight is a great show for the fans. I think if he KO'd Canelo he'd be a superstar. Might be the Kazakh thing too, not too many of those boys buying PPVs
Nathaniel Ramirez
/box/ shits on him unless he fights the number one contender every two months for pennies. Dude deserves a fucking payday
Camden Bell
he deserves a payday when he can put asses in seats
how much did he ask for estrada again? $2M?
Levi Adams
CORONA
Hudson Powell
Yet you faggots defend ggg wanting more money against canelo
Caleb Perez
I actually don't, but I get what you mean.
Nicholas Bailey
how do we even know thats why the fight isnt happening? theyve shown no real intent since vacating the jeWBC belt
Angel Hall
nah, i've been saying the same shit about GGG too
Gavin Clark
Who's ready to see GGG go down for the 1st time? Jacobs will land the 1st bomb.
Christian Butler
>how do we even know thats why the fight isnt happening? Low IQ faggots are born dumb and can't understand why you don't sign for a September fight in January. Especially when the other side has done nothing but bullshit, vacate belts and duck. In a nutshell, they are dumb
Levi Adams
Predictably, you'll be the first bitch on here calling Jacobs a bum when he gets knocked out.
Caleb Lee
>tfw converted from /heem/ to /box/
James Ward
Do you guys thinks Buffalo Wild Wings will show the golovkin fight on saturday?
Ayden Baker
GGG actually headlines shows you shithead. Cucklatito has been an undercard fighter all his career and fighting on choppy streams in Japan. Fuck off.
This is prizefighting not charity. A flat fee is bullshit and everybody knows it. Canelo can get fucked.
Nathaniel Gray
just find a stream at home and get /cozy/
Wyatt Baker
>tfw im going to my gfs house and she has no internet
Ayden Stewart
mma does get rather plain doesnt it? idk why but it feels that way.
Wyatt Morris
No, golovkin is unknown and canelo is a name most people know. canelo will make absurd amounts of money fighting cans because he's a star. Golovkin is the fucking b-side, he should take less money, most likely win, then have leverage for a rematch.
Nolan Long
Golovkin was unknown when he fought Proszka like 4 years ago. He's pretty well known now. Canelo has more hype behind him but that doesn't mean GGG should take a flat fee in a huge money fight like this. Canelo's just scared, Idgaf what he and his fag promoter say. They won't be able to milk fans for much longer. Even Mexicans are sick of his shit. And his drawing power is totally inflated. When he's not fighting Cotto or Floyd, his numbers are not much better than Golovkins.
James Johnson
I believe him, cast iron chin and ridiculous inside game
Parker Fisher
>no internet
is such a thing even possible?
Nolan King
dump her till she gets fttp.
Liam Murphy
>throwing an uppercut from that range with zero defense >women boxers
Benjamin Baker
Didn't Chocolatito headline in his Cuadras fight?
John Myers
GGG or Jacobs, lads?
Josiah James
GGG
Justin Hall
...
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Knocking someone out must be a really great feeling
Jeremiah Phillips
I think it was because GGG was fighting in England wasn't it?
Connor Barnes
>I think it was because GGG was fighting in England wasn't it? ???
Gabriel King
loma vs flanagan, who wins
Leo Allen
The Manc-iac
Lincoln James
On TV, he was shown with GGG, but he was fighting in a venue elsewhere headlining that.
Not sure about the attendance numbers, or the ticket prices.
Andrew Reyes
>first time sparring with friend >forget everything i learned and got hit with combo's everywhere Landed two cheeky overhand rights on his chin though
Perfect to put anyone to sleep, Charlo aside those fights would be pure boring as fuck AIDS. Would prefer super flyweight or cruiser.
Tyler Barnes
>black """""fighters""""" are there any current blacks outside of HW with an exciting style?
Dominic Price
>blacks in hw having exciting style Anybody got that webm of wilder doing the windmill 'n pray
Julian Perez
Being exciting doesn't necessarily equate to being skilled, although I was more referring to AJ than Wilder.
Noah Torres
Errol Spence, Yunier Dorticos, Shawn Porter, Timothy Bradley, Gervonta Davis
Dominic Allen
This has just given me the inspiration to create a collage of Wilder windmilling cunts to death. He certainly did in the Audley fight.
Jaxson Russell
>Timothy Bradley >Shawn Porter >exciting I don't think so. I remember watching Spence in the amatuers (where he just lost out against Serik Sapiyev) and he did pretty well, but I haven't seen any of this pro fights outside of Van Heelden(sp?). I haven't seen Dorticos or Gervonta enough to comment on them.
Easton Brown
t. Never seen Bradley vs Provodnikov
William Sanchez
I have--infact I included it on my spicy list, but Bradley isn't an incredibly exciting fighter.
Kayden Price
So let's say the average ticket price is $150 (not likely, since a bulk of the tickets would be towards the low end), the total gate is $1M. We're not even factoring in the expenses or his opponent's purse or the undercard's purses. He still has a long way to go before demanding $1M per fight.
Hunter Garcia
:(
Cooper Gutierrez
People just don't care about manlets, even if they're 4 division world champions.
Christopher Brown
Even though I want Choc to get paid for the action he provides I agree, it probably makes no sense logistically.
I have seen articles saying that Cuadras also wants around the same as Choc 800K-1M.
They could easily afford to double that considering a ~$1m live gate and ~$1m television licensing fee
Robert Johnson
Yeah I get my money's worth. The majority of the time it's just reruns of old fights (not even great ones), but there's enough new content over the course of a month to justify £10
Pretty much the only channels I ever watch are BoxNation, Sky Sports and Dave. I wish I could get rid of the others
Samuel Martin
And when every weight class is separated by 0.25 pounds.
Jordan Morales
PBC Boxing tomorrow night on FS1. Sergiy Derevyanchenko vs Kemahl Russell
