I heard the buys are so low espn and top rank are trying to hope people forget to ask about the buys. Im thinking it do under 100,000 buys. You have to join and pay for espn plus to order espn ppvs, thats how it is with ufc ppv you cannot order unless you pay the monthly fee for espn plus.
They miscalculated thinking that Bud and Khan are household names.
Nobody really knows who they are unless they are boxing fans and they were not on a collision course. I don't know why they would put Khan on a ppv event. Proven loser
Khan is only a name to pakistanis and brits
Yeah, plus ESPN underpromoted it too.
FOX promoted and pushed the other mismatch Spence vs Garcia way better thats why it did good numbers for little known boxers because they promoted it.
ESPN didnt show jack **** until 4 days until fight time.
ESPN cares more about UFC than boxing

They sell crap that people don't want it is going to flop. Trash card with trash results.

100K-180K at the very least I hope, this PPV Flopping is not good for boxing so NO I don't want to see this PPV do bad like SOME so called boxing fans :nonono:
The issue is that Arum ran his mouth about Spence Jr PPV and the way he was talking about having ESPN backing, this event was suppose to do BETTER than Spence Jr vs Garcia based on how Arum was talking
So anything Less than Spence Jr vs Mikey Garcia is a FLOP!
I hope it didnt do big numbers not out hate, but because the match up and outcome was bad, like teddy atlas said its not a good look for boxing or espn ppv. Khan quit and just showed up for a check, im thinking bob arum paid him off to take a dive. I hope the next ppv does well and has a better card and competitive match up main, this card was a sore spot good thing it didnt do massive numbers it would have hurt boxing more
That is not true. I watched it at a friends house who doesn't have ESPN+ plus and I saw him order the PPV.
I only order the ufc ppv, never order the boxing and for the ufc I had to subscribe to espn + to purchase they gave me one free ppv for the year.
I think your friend order the Fite.tv ppv which toprank was using on their website because.
dang Valdez s Marriage was on PPV? what a stupid move nobody knows them
I know the ESPN model is horrible for PPV, ESPN only lets you order the PPV if you signed up for ESPN + so on top of the monthly fee you still have to pay the 75 dollar ppv hd fee
you cannot order the Crawford vs Khan fight unless you have ESPn + thats why its messed up
you never had to have HBO or showtime to order the PPV
That's not true at all. My buddy ordered the fight just fine through his cable box and he doesn't have ESPN+.
I hope they all flop. That way, these people come to their senses and do away with these PPVs altogether, unless it's for a super, super, can't miss fight. PPV isn't good for boxing.
Is Spence-Porter PPV as well?:lol1: That'd be the biggest joke.
DAZN was going to be that. Them they botched it...lmfao
$10/month or $120/yr was less than two PPVs!! A STEAL!!! And people STILL hated on it then...PBC CUCKS lmfao
But the price is now $20/month ($10 for me until 2020) and $240/year or about 3 PPVs/year...no longer a bargain.
Actually DAZN has a yearly subscription package for $99.99
Divided by 12 months that is only $8.33 per month
They changed the monthly subscription price to $19.99 because too many people would order for one fight and then cancel. So they raised the price of monthly subscription to adjust to those who order and cancel only for particular fights. The yearly subscription is a great bargain where it averages to only $8.33 per month.
I think it's gonna land somewhere between 50K and 1M.
I think it is going to be closer to the 50K LOL. PPV numbers are heavily embellished anyway. Whatever does get reported, divide that number by 2. There are no current boxing stars outside maybe Canelo and Joshua in the UK. Everyone else casuals don't know, and the ones who do, steam like I do.
PPV used to only be for very special matchups, but these Spence vs Garcia and Crawford vs Khan bullsh|t fights don't merit it.

You must be working for them, because the average person doesn't want to be paying good money for mismatches or guys moving up two weight divisions,because the promoters want to keep the money in house.
Except for Pacquaio,the other PBC fighters aren't really legit PPV unless they fight him.Pac brings the numbers,the others are just regular tv on their own.
I kinda disagree with someone earlier who said something along the lines "I hope its more cause its bad for boxing!"
A complete, and utter mismatch and joke of a fight deserves to do poorly, especially if its on PPV. If the fight is ****, why should fans just be content with it and accept ****? Its like stockholm syndrome or something, you guys are getting used to garbage from Top rank and PBC
Spence/Garcia
Wilder/Fury
Pac/Broner
Were all leaked on the Tuesday after the fight.
Interesting, thought they were leaked later in the week like on Thursday or something. Well, that's at least when Iole wrote his article on it.
