Potential Revenue of PBC on NBC. **Figures Inside** Please Feel Free To Make Own

See the problem is...this is good for boxing, at the time of Boxing's Biggest fight in History, there will be boxing for the youth to get into after watching it on PPV and a regular series on a major network. This might be a good time to open a gym, specifically for boxing. To make a website or app that will make money off of this fight and the coming boxing series. But this is good for boxing and people who love this sport should get behind it, because if Haymon is successful, there will be a competitor (Rocnation?)which means MORE boxing. But of course some people pretend to love hating Haymon more than they love boxing, so now we will see. YAY BOXING!

For the first few events they will make a net loss as it's on free tv however the question is how sustainable is this model? The need to start making profit soon and views as WWE struggles with 5 million viewers a week.
UFC on fox does about 3 million and they pay less.

I'd say a trillion dollars

There isn't much gate revenue. They give most of the tickets away for free. My homeboy gt 5 free tix for Fridays Berto fight

that was expected, you cant sell out mgm with the likes of thurman, broner or mares... they need better matches..

You can't compare what Haymon is giving us in terms of fights to what the networks gave us back in the 70s and 80s. Back in the day we were watching the best fighters in the world on television for free. These were fights that today would be drawing PPV numbers most can only dream of. Instead of the greats of boxing today, Haymon gives us Garcia-Peterson in a catchweight, non-title, 10 rounder. It simply doesn't measure up.

As for the advertising rates you are predicting, your high end rates would require upwards of 10 million viewers to be able to charge that much. That is not going to happen on a Saturday evening/night show. Weeknight, maybe. As long at they continue to pay out unrealistic purse amounts, they will never break even on these broadcasts. And the ratings for shows on Spike will be considerably lower as will the fight cards presented on NBC Sports.

My high end advertising revenue was based on ufcs 5.7m average viewers.
