Pacquiao vs Broner Tracking Over 400k Buys

And it does 6M at the gate: #PacBroner MGM Grand Garden ArenaGate: $6,003,322.00Announced Attendance: 13,025Tickets Sold: 11,410Comps: 248#boxing #PacquiaoBroner— Jed I. Goodman (@jedigoodman) January 29, 2019 Honestly, depending on how much rights fee money they got from the Philippines, along with sponsorship money, they made out pretty damn good. Won't be too big of a loss here. It's always funny hearing guys talk about a fight not selling out beforehand and then getting a gate of millions of dollars. Some idiots even downplayed the Mayweather/McGregor fight by talking about the available tickets weeks beforehand.

It is good for boxing. I am surprised that it made this much since this fight really didn't belong on ppv. Broner went life and death against Granados, drew against Vargas and lost to Mikey in his last 3 fights.

It did 13k and some of those are obviously comp. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Safe bet is $4-6M.

What Espinoza says and what he does are two different things. Every decent fight on PPV and SHOBox is crap programming. LET’s see the quality of fights we get on SHO. Their January-April Schedule looks very light and poor. Tank vs Mares and Lara vs Constano are good fights.

That's great for Boxing!

Increasing their boxing budget dosen’t equate to getting the best fights and fighters. It might’ve been only increased by 5% for example. Which won’t make a difference in the current boxing market The inflation caused by DAZN means average fighters will have to be paid a lot to fight on SHO. Showtime are now having to share their key fighters with FOX. DAZN has got the Middleweights and Joshua under lock. ESPN got Top Rank. Showtime have only got the welterweights which they are having to share and Wilder. SHOBOX Is supplementary and shouldn’t be replacing world title programming on SHO which has slowed down over the past 6 months. They have more than the welterweights. They have the same fighters as FOX who will fight back and forth. The PBC's fighters were too inactive in the past, so they'll surely have plenty of dates now to fill. How about you just read this stuff for yourself. https://www.******.com/542753-stephen-espinoza-explains-what-new-three-year-deal-with-pbc-means-for-showtime-boxing/ Showtime struck a new three-year deal with PBC on Thursday, it was announced by the network, and the agreement isn’t simply an extension of their current union. The partnership, which runs through 2021, calls for a “significant expansion of live boxing programming”; the sport will be offered monthly on the network. Espinoza told The Ring that Showtime “will definitely be committing more resources both financially and personally and technically than at any point in the recent past.” He declined to reveal what the boxing budget’s ballooned to, but promised that the network will televise more fights than any other time in their 32-year-history — 30 live telecasts in all.

If Pac vs Broner did actually make 400 k on ppv that is phenomenal Never really expected that much buys Pac is still going strong after all these years incredible numbers Now don’t be fughin telling me it’s Broner , not a fughin chance in hell Everyone just wanted to see his azz get ko’d

But Boxing isn’t a big driver of subs on Showtime. The evidence is clear If it were a big driver, Showtime would be doing 2-3 big boxing shows a month. As it stands their last Non-PPV world title fight was in September! I think Showtime will be out in the future, HBO’s Boxing year on year quality and volume declined. We’re seeing the same with Showtime. DAZN’s Entry has f’ed up SHO’s Boxing Strategy I think SHO has a very interesting setup. SHOBox for the up and coming fighters, FS1 for established pros but not necessarily big names, SHO Championship boxing for big fights, Fox prime time for major cards that aren't quite PPV level events, SHO PPV for event level fights with all fight available on SHO /Fox streaming services. They are even replaying PPV the next week in front of a SHO card. If the WIlder/Fury and Manny/Broner cards show anything its that the model Haymon has is working right now.

Did you miss the 3 year deal that Showtime just announced with them increasing their boxing budget? He clearly doesn’t live in the US.

Is it just me, but I love the ShoBox cards. Usually pretty entertaining and nice seeing some prospects. Good quality Of course, Sho Box has always been quality. We get a lot of nice prospect vs prospect type of match ups. Also get to see fighters like Haney and Ennis emerge from the Sho Box series.

SHO is fine. They have a show a month. They don't have to do 2-3 a month because FOX is handling that now. They still do 2 ShoBox cards a month. Is it just me, but I love the ShoBox cards. Usually pretty entertaining and nice seeing some prospects. Good quality

Does this mean that Broner is here to stay? He brings them tons of cash. I mentioned a few times after the fight but the leading trender on Twitter was Broner worldwide and stateside after the fight, not the guy who thoroughly beat him. Dude still does better numbers on SHO than anyone else minus Wilder. Of course he is here to stay still. Until he completely loses appeal, he will continue headlining cards. And a lot of his fights are entertaining. It is only when he is overwhelmed skill/talent wise that he becomes gun shy to throw. Maidana overwhelmed him in another way and forced him to throw or get KTFO, so Broner chose to fight back. Mikey and Pac just tamed him from the start. Expect him to return in the summer time on FOX or SHO main event.

The fight did get alot of attention more than i thought that night. No suprise tho..U match sumbody like Broner with the right opponent its guaranteed numbers

Better than expected

At $1500-$100? Even if you comped 10% of the seats, 12000 tickets sold at that rate should be over $6m 6M is possible. I said in the 4-6M range. Either way, definitely not around 10M for this fight.

Cut the gross PPV revenue in half, assume half the gate was used to cover the event, and we're back to talking about $30m. Promoters share 20% on the fight, and you're at $24m. You cover Pacquiao's $20m, and you've got $4m, $2.5m already guaranteed to Broner.there were 13,000 people there plus Badou Jack made over 1 million. There isn’t an additional 10 mil in revenue as previously stated. Plus there was tons of comps. They had sold less than 5000 tickets a week before the fight. They likely had a site fee and not a piece of the action. That’s how it usually works with Pacquiao and mgm. They pay a flat fee for the Asian whalers he brings to the casinos. As Pacquiaos popularity has declined so has the site fees.
