Pavlik-Hopkins sells 190k ppvs, Calzaghe Jones 200k

I think that its a good thing that it had bad ppv numbers.. Maybe HBO will get a clue and not put that stuff on PPV.. U know how many good fights used to be on Championship Boxing of the old BAD BAD has had some of the best wars in history F uck ppv, i aint shellin out 50 for a fight thats gunna be over in 2 hrs..

PPV is what's killing boxing in the USA.

Imagine if they had Roy jones vs Calzaghe, and Pavlik vs Hopkins on the same night for $50.... It would sell like crazy, why doesnt boxing do more of this???? It doesnt make sense!!! No wonder UFC is selling, they do a better job of stacking there cards.

**** PPV #s. Why the **** do fans care so much about this shit lately? Any fan wit common sense should be against PPV. Agree. Fans have the power to dictate how much a fighter is going to get, just like the rest of the entertainers. If you want them to lower their prices, stop watching them. The Fans decide who gets paid what.

damn this puts mayweathers ppv power much higher

No I don't think they would. Tyson maybe Ali no if it was against a normal guy. BUt Frazier or Forema YES Louis NO only against Marciano Dempsey no only against Tunney LOL Titos and Don's expression when the flag goes down. Priceless.

I think theres alot more people then anyone realizes who just wait until the next day and burn it up onto a disc from the internet and watch it. my friends and i have had that routine for years now. 50$ is unreasonable for one fight

Why should we pay 50 dollars a month on boxing plus HBO/SHO and all that is on top of our 100 dollar cable bill. No other country gets ****ed worse than the US when it comes to boxing. I think we have all had enough of it. I am one of the very few people that probably bought both PPVs and I wont be buying any in the near future. Shitty undercards doesn't help either. The oil bigwigs realized 4.50 was TOO HIGH for the consumer, so they lowered to price, I now pay 2.40. WHY CANT BOXING FOLLOW SUIT.....SUPPLY AND DEMAND at it's finest....

Horrible economy, highest rate of unemployment in like 25 years, worst time since the great depression? Gee, wonder if this has anything to do with it. I still, regardless of how the economy is, wish they would just network the fights. Especially in these times.

Terrible terrible numbers. Kevin Iole reports this on his new mailbag and the Hopkins numbers are concrete while the Jones numbers are reported numbers. This just shows many things, one with all that "he's from youngstown crap", Pavlik still cant sell PPV as his numbers against Taylor were weak too. 2, Bernard once again cant draw, niether can Calzaghe , who's ppv numbers against Hopkins and who's rating against Kessler were also low. 3. Trinidad was the reason why Jones-Trinidad sold 500k ppv's. Blacks and white american you guys gotta step up the support, Trinidad was washed up and he still has Puerto Rico supporting him, just like Manny and the pinoys. Also, if ppv's are gonna bomb, why would guys like Sturm and the Klitchkos even bother coming to America if there is more money to be made overseas? has nothing to do with black and white americans and probably everything to do with a bad economy.

America is going into a depression. Every business is losing money and people are surprised about low PPV numbers?

If a Prime Tyson, Dempsey, Louis, Ali, were around, I bet they sell. People who were around said Ali vs Frazier 1 was unlike anything before, Pimps, players, hustlers where rubbing elbows and minks with CEO's and celebrities. That would sell over 1 million today easy

No one going to mention the world financial crisis since the great depression If a Prime Tyson, Dempsey, Louis, Ali, were around, I bet they sell.

PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ 2 did 520k buys!!

Golden Boy Promotions were stupid on putting Hopkins in a PPV fight after that horrible fight with Calzaghe. That is the reason I didn't buy that fight. I wasn't going to risk losing 50 bucks to watch Hopkins hug someone throughout the fight. Also these undercards are terrible dog, I was at the pavlik hopkins fight live and fell asleep during the undercard. Don King and Lou Dibella are the only promoters who can make good undercards. Thats another reason why I respect Cotto and Margarito so much too cuz no matter what the race is, they both fought like warriors and gave u your moneys worth for that fight alone

These Guys aren't really good value for Money PPV fighters, neither of the fights were explosive or action packed. Hopkins isn't a PPV fighter. I have been saying that for a long time.

And yet Cotto vs Margarito did over 400k. Mexicans & Puerto Ricans sure love boxing :). Didn't Pac vs Marquez 2 make over 400k also?? Those are cards deserving of ppv, but hopefully those poor numbers let golden boy know that Hopkins doesnt belong on ppv

No one going to mention the world financial crisis since the great depression For once I agree with flawless, it's not exactly going to take a brain surgeon to work out why the numbers are down.

:sucks: sucks the topic sucks How does my topic suck, I'm reporting ppv numbers that im sure most didnt know. But I do change my stance about whites and blacks supporting fighters slightly because most of these ppv's are a sham
