Bob Arum reveals details about 7/23 PPV card revolving around Crawford; L.A. possible

If they put on a big card, have some top names boxing on it and isn't the typical **** undercard, this PPV will not do so much. However, I'm happy to hear Crawford will be fighting a genuine fighter...unless it's all BS and he's fighting Broner or Mosley.

It's hard to see this doing 300 k when Floyd-Berto did 500k and Golovkin-Lemieux did 150k Can't recall off the top of my head but Pac-Algeri I think did south of 300 aswell right?

30,000 buys is more likely than 300,000

IDK why people are even questioning Bob Arum. I really doubt Arum of all people would put something togther he would lose $ on. Im sure he has a trick up his sleeve, it could be just as simple as stacking the cards with Mexicans or getting Crawford an opponent outside TR. Either way, Bob doesnt take L's

one side is moving big fights to free TV. the other is moving small fights to pay-per-view. the revolution will be televised. Great point lol. PBC is giving us great fights for free while Arum and HBO are conning us out of money for mediocre fights, who would've thought?

I can't imagine this pulling 300k.

I'll make the drive to LA to see Crawford put a beating on Broner.

This should NOT be a pay per view

300K is a pretty damn successful event, even prices at 50 that is 15 million in revenue and cut in half that is 7.5 which is real money. They would have to have Verdejo versus a real top end Mexican to be pushing that I reckon. Plus some other appealing fights and hope he does not get counter programmed with something on a major network that costs 0 even if the card is not as good.

Yup, you're right. That's why I think he's gonna reach out to Haymon and see what they can put together. You've got to be right. Arum surely isn't stupid enough to think Crawford can carry a PPV against a crash dummy, and no one else, not even Matthyse or Provodnikov, would really make a main event people would pay sixty bones for. Crawford-Broner would appeal to hardcore and casual fans. With a good undercard 300k sounds very doable.

That will help tickets in LA, which they'll need because who is Crawford out there? but PPV buys? They'll want Jesse Vargas defending that title as a co-main event, but he'll be expecting to get paid too. Might have to settle for Rios? Valdez if he wins against Gradovich could open the card. I don't know man, this is sounding like an expensive card. 100k buys translates to 3mil to stage and pay all the purses. No way that covers everyone's purses, and expecting it to do more than that is risky af. Yup, you're right. That's why I think he's gonna reach out to Haymon and see what they can put together. Either that or he'll have to reach out to Golden Boy and see what can be made. I like Broner vs Crawford but I think Broner has a fight in a few weeks against Theophane so who knows when he'll be back.

Arum is thinking of staging it in L.A. so I could see him filling up the card with Mexicans. Plus the fact that he's been trying to one up Trump for some reason. But even so, I don't think it will do anywhere near 300k. That will help tickets in LA, which they'll need because who is Crawford out there? but PPV buys?

This has disaster written all over it. Unless they somehow make Crawford-Broner for the main event, I'd suspect this card does 40-50k PPVs tops. No way they'd hit 100k without throwing Rios and maybe Juan Diaz on the card, and even in bouts with cheap opponents it would still be too expensive.

For some reason I have a feeling Bob Arum is going to reach out to Haymon for a potential fight with Broner. Haymon has always been open to working with other promoters while Arum has not. We'll see what happens from there.

300k seems very optimistic for this event...whoever he ends up fighting. But we'll see if Ramirez wins the title and the put him on the undercard...he could potentially bring some viewers.
