How do you figure? Fox paid out big guarantees on both Pac-Thurman and Wilder-Ortiz, and the PPV revenues didn't come close to the PPV guarantees they paid to PBC.
The PPV money wasn't the only revenue stream for the PPV events (Pacquiao-Broner, Spence-Porter, Spence-Mikey, Thurman-Pacquiao, and now Wilder-Ortiz 2), so to assume that Fox Sports was on the hook for these full "off the books" purses is a mistake.
Fox Corp has quarterly financial reports, there's most definitely a break out of the information related to Fox Sports, and there's in all likelihood a breakdown of their combat sports proceeds under some line item.
The annual report is likely due to come out soon as well; I don't care enough to sit with the documents, but FOX being a public company that has to file full financial disclosure statements gives folks a good chance to maybe find out for themselves.
Fox Sports likely made money on all 4 shows, so what are you talking about?

Lol yeah fox is the number one boxing network as we speak, espn boxing numbers are weak, also ufc isn't doing millions of buys either. Several of their ppvs were barely 200k
Unfortunately, what Fox is doing doesn't work. 4 Fox PPVs this year: 325k, 450K, 300K and TBD. Not impressive.
Bro those are good numbers for ppv. Are you tripping?
Naw it's too early. Tuesday is when the numbers start leaking if the numbers are good. If they aren't we'll never get the numbers like we didn't get Crawford-Khan until months later
Lol please brother dont remind us of Crawfords ppv, its sad he never broke 100k. They swept it under the rug.

Thats the word on the tweeterverse. What do you guys think?
That’s not bad at all. Plus they actually promoted the pay per view. Personally I would’ve believed it would do over 350-450k. Sounds alright
