NO CONCESSIONS A-Side Andre the Gential Ward sold just 92K PPV. Source: the reputable Rick Glaser.
If Ward was truly such a great p4p fighter, why come none of y'all are supporting him?
I'm just curious.
That's horrendous
canelo Chavez being such a dull one sided mismatch, the announcement of may-mac, the boring style of ward, and it being a rematch probably were the reasons .
James prince and ward hustled rocnation badly. It was a 60-40 split to ward which means rocnation lost money for the fight by paying ward 6.5mil. They lost well over 2million dollars
And their prospects Include arias who has been popped for PEDs in past and Harrison who is a hypejob
what an embarrassing thread
It is a sh1t thread, but then so were all the ones about 'Mr 97k'... can't understand what people get out of posting this kinda kindergarten sh1t.
regardless how you cut it.
Mr 92K is a low blow to the sport of boxing.
it doesn't get lower than that.
So that is your whole thing, lol.
Nevermind the fact that Golovkin-Lemieux was sold at $50 for HD (a full $15 below Ward's price point), the tickets for the actual event were priced well below what most major events command at the gate (which helps explain why we've never seen a confirmed gate total from any Golovkin fight ever), you're going to bury your head in the sand for this one, lol.
HBO takes half of the 3 mill on PPV.
so 2 mil live gate with 1 mil going toward the venue rental+security+set-up-technicians+staff etc
1.5 mil + 1 mil = 2.5 mil that's payable to promoters and fighters.
Ward's pay was 6.5 mil?
math don't make sense.
HD for the PPV was priced at $65 (the broadcaster generally keeps the HD fee anyway, so the take is really off of $55). Even at Glaser's number, that's still $5m in PPV revenue (roughly half going to cable/HBO all leaves the event organizers with $2.5m off of the Glaser number).
The gate off of Ward-Kovalev 2 was actually nearly $2.2m; if you honestly think that the costs to stage a fight at the 12k-seat Mandalay Bay EC came to $1m, you're a fool (and that's without counting any site fee from MGM Resorts).
Then you figure the international TV money (Sky Sports picking up the fight over BoxNation likely didn't come for pennies), event sponsors (Corona on center ring, but at least another 4-5 sponsors putting money behind the fight), and the other revenues, and you've got a nice pot of money to work from.
Even at $6m to Ward, RocNation's take on the fight was far closer to Ward's $6m than it was to 0.
RocNation had put on how many shows in their existence? Cotto-Alvarez saw them take near all of the site fee, on a fight that generated an alleged $70m on PPV ($70 for HD/$60 as the fee things are based off of; even at Glaser's number, you're still talking about the promoters splitting $25m off of the US rights on the fight).
Cotto got paid handsomely for that, but don't for a second think that RocNation got nothing.
RocNation is betting their future on Andre Ward (and Luis Arias, Maurice Hooker, and Dusty Harrison-Hernandez coming along behind him), likely with the resources on hand to see that through
Lol, so that's your whole thing?
We're going to count the Glaser numbers for Ward, and ignore the Glaser numbers for Golovkin? gtfoh
LMAO right? they all do it its fckng hilarious
^^^^^that is one broken mestizo.:lol1:
Shattered...triggered....and tenderized...:lol1::lol1:
that piece of ***** is Mexican? WHat a fckng cuck disgrace
GGG ain't American. GGG don't speak English. GGG isn't ethnic.
3 strikes against him and yet he still almost doubled Ward's #.
just LMAO
how in 97k almost double 92k?
hell where is the support for GGG or anyone else in boxing..no one is out here selling huge ppv's anymore period besides Canelo and that is still under 1 million

whats the point of this thread exactly?? im lost..greatness is built off of fighting great challenges and building legacy right?? neither are anywhere close to being big stars so this thread is fvcking stupid
Im just poking fun, i remember alot of anti GGG posters clowned him for having only 97k PPV buys. So i just made the same joke about ward and all of a sudden they all get defensive and take it too serious.
Why won't blacks rally behind Ward against a known Racist that compared blacks to monkeys?
there are 40 million blacks in America. Can't even get 100K to support your P4p #1 boxer against KKKovalev?
Something's not adding up here.
Men lie. Women lie. #'s don't lie.
Y'all know yourselves Andre Gential Ward is a disgrace to the sport of boxing. Action speak louder than words.
hell where is the support for GGG or anyone else in boxing..no one is out here selling huge ppv's anymore period besides Canelo and that is still under 1 million
It's not even that, tbh.
-Live gate is clearly in Ward's favor (the Vegas gates, with Kovalev not being able to move tickets on his own, at those prices, seems to prove that Andre Ward can draw at the gate).
-Fights sponsors are likely in Ward's direction.
-He can comfortably market the fight everywhere it'd need to be marketed.
Etc
I forgot about the sponsors and Ward had some big names
Lol, so that's your whole thing?
We're going to count the Glaser numbers for Ward, and ignore the Glaser numbers for Golovkin? gtfoh
