this is the guy that wants truck loads of money from joshua. joshua just did 1.2 million ppvs(at a lower cost). wilder will expect 100 million still lol
Plus they stack their cards and the biggest available fights get made relatively consistently. A lot of these recent boxing PPVs are so complacent its ****ing insane. Main events that arent really PPV worthy and then weak undercards as well, I dont know what kind of numbers the promoters are expecting.
To be honest its not really stacked cards, its promotion, in order for casuals or views to want to watch a card they have to know the fighters first, and UFC promotes thier fighters to the masses well. Boxing can stack the cards but who is going to watch but hardcores? they could stack a boxing card but if its not promoted or the public have no clue who those fighters are it wont sell.
I love watching UFC fights, they know how to market and promote thier fighters, so fans develop a fanatic view of the fighter and get to know them, this is what boxing fails to do in this era you need to go hard on youtube and twitter, tiktok, and interviews.
Watch thos countdown shows for UFC, they did an amazing show that helps promote the fights, it shows during the week of the fight called Embedded on youtube they show like 5 parts its awesome short and sweet like 10 to 15 minutes long only but it follows the fighters on the card in little glimpses.
Boxing needs to promote better. This why Jake Paul is the big draw in boxing, he is part of that media era that UFC markets too the new wave. Jake Paul promotes himself on social big time thats how he got famous, boxing needs to follow that
Rafael is reporting the fight did between 65,000 and 75,000 buys.
Take that for what you will........

PPV is pretty much dead for boxing. UFC is the only sport that really does well on PPV because they are similar to WWE people pay for the Company and Brand of UFC and push the fighters well in social media and youtube so fans develop a bond and pick which personality they like.

Boxing and PPV just dont mix unless its a legit big fight or the rare instance of a Canelo type who can draw against pretty much anybody. Both those fights would have been much better off on network tv.
Yeah just way too much going on that Night and I'm not talking about in boxing I'm talking about College Football I think USC vs Utah was on at the same time which was a great game, may have been Baseball Playoffs on as well
Wilder vs Ruiz does much bigger numbers nothing to panic about but now is the time for Boxing to be concerned, the Future is not looking great for this sport and it is the Powers That Be fault. Greed is crippling this sport and is burying itself
I think PPV has become so diluted that the days of 700k+ buys might be over with. Nobody seems to be "crossing over" like Floyd, Pac, etc, even Canelo cant consistently hit a million. I know some outlets reported 1.3 million for Canelo-GGG III but I dont believe it......
He hasn't been so accurate lately...At least he waited more than 3 days to report it.
He's a bum and pretty much blackballed.
He's a PBC shill now so the numbers might actually be lower.

Boxing has failed to do this in the social media era. Before it was actually easier to get more fans to boxing because there was no internet, and fans were forced to buy PPV and watched more TV so they would see boxing promoted on HBO, or ESPN or in the Newspaper
