Per Rick Glaser
"In their maiden voyage of ESPN PPV Boxing this decade, Crawford-Khan PPV did 179,000 buys. Not bad, considering it really was a borderline PPV fight, and with no one of Mexican ethnicity in the main event, or in the other three PPV fights, the traditional Mexican and Mexican-American PPV purchaser was absent. Also, I don't think the timing of the ESPN marketing was good, yes, a last week push they did, but heavy marketing should have started 30 days before, not just the last 7 days. ESPN will learn, improve, and going forward have even better results.
Looking forward, I see Terence Crawford taking on Kell Brook next, and if a deal can't be made with Eddie Hearn for Brook, then I see Luis Collazo getting his Crawford Lottery ticket handed to him."
jeez it must have bombed in pakistan
The numbers are just a guess for the US only. We don't know the UK numbers. And Pakistan don't have PPV, so it's irrelevant.
LMAO
PBC #1, Lets celebrate boys
Lol, I love this Mexican manager’s passion. Remember seeing him years ago when he was managing Mexico. Beautiful passion...
Ring TV, ESPN, Forbes, Bad Left Hook....plenty of sites
Nobody has reported the Crawford/Khan numbers, mainly because they're bad. He's not to far off from the real numbers but they're sub 150k
Some of them reported Wilder Fury did 300-325 so they don't know exactly. As for Crawford, nobody is reporting the number for some reason. Only this Glaser guy seams to have balls to give us any figures.
In that case two questions: who else reported Crawford Khan PPV number and what was it? Also who reported 325 on Wilder Fury?
No one has reported a number yet, probably don't want to piss Bob Arum and get the Dan Rafael treatment.
I don't understand why he can't focus on his fight without tearing down what the others are doing. He comes off looking stupid.
Fury/Wilder did 325K.
Glaser is not credible at all.

The fight also was a PPV in the UK -- on BT Tv... £19.95...
How?
Even 200k PPV buys, @$70 per PPV, generates $14m; roughly $7m for the pot.
With Khan getting $5m, and Crawford getting $5m, plus the payout for the undercard, costs of putting on the event, and Arum getting his piece, there's still a lot of money to make up.
There's literally zero gate information, lol.
Look out boys, the PBC financial wizard has entered the thread :)
Well that's about 79,000 more than I thought it would do.
ARUM will try to spin it somehow but they know Crawrord does absolutley nothing to help sell a fight.
In other news, theres a great fight on the Dazn app tonight for $10 lol....
Put Dick Schaefer and senile Bob in the same promotion for a PPV, and you will start to hear some possible 10 million buys types of numbers.lmmmmaaaaaaoooooooooo
So what is the consensus on glaser? Is he considered credible or a fraud? Dude once said he polls his facebook friends on whether they bought a PPV or not in order to calculate his numbers lol.
Or is it a case of if he reports numbers in favour of your agenda, then he is credible and if he reports numbers that doesnt suit your agenda, then his numbers are bullshi.t?
Wait on Iole or Pugmire, imo.
Glaser doesn't have real credibility to me, but the fact that his number is what it is, and Arum preemptively ran out with the "don't trust any number not from ESPN, who aren't going to say anything" (hinting that the event was tracking toward being a poor number), puts out all indication that the real number is going to end up looking bad.

Well it depends on who you ask. Some don't like him, but others like BIGPOPPAPUMP from here say he is the 4th most powerful man in boxing, just behind Al Haymon, Arum, and Eddie Hearn.
Would have done far more if it was marketed properly.
BT did a good job promoting it but Top Rank were terrible. I bet most of the PPV's were from the UK.
So Crawford and Khan both started at 135... a more fair fight than Spence vs Mikey Garcia ffs.
PBC fanboys jerked off to Floyd vs Berto PPV so expect them to say A side vs B side for these two funny shows
^^^^^^ lol, sulk in it.
A-side Spence. 60-40 split or Arum can **** off
It's wider than 60/40 once you also consider the gates/ability to sell tickets.
And that's before Spence gets the full court press for the Porter unification, the full press for the Thurman-Pacquiao winner unification, and the full press for the likely Garcia defense, lol.
It's probably 65/35 Spence Jr now, with the economics making it 80/20 were Spence to clear out his side first (70/30 on the public money, for Arum/Crawford to save face).
So much for that phone call
180k, plus gate etc hopefully results in a break even
