Pavlik-Hopkins sells 190k ppvs, Calzaghe Jones 200k

America is going into a depression. Every business is losing money and people are surprised about low PPV numbers?

[Pullcounter]

Terrible terrible numbers. Kevin Iole reports this on his new mailbag and the Hopkins numbers are concrete while the Jones numbers are reported numbers.

This just shows many things, one with all that "he's from youngstown crap", Pavlik still cant sell PPV as his numbers against Taylor were weak too. 2, Bernard once again cant draw, niether can Calzaghe , who's ppv numbers against Hopkins and who's rating against Kessler were also low. 3. Trinidad was the reason why Jones-Trinidad sold 500k ppv's.

Blacks and white american you guys gotta step up the support, Trinidad was washed up and he still has Puerto Rico supporting him, just like Manny and the pinoys.

Also, if ppv's are gonna bomb, why would guys like Sturm and the Klitchkos even bother coming to America if there is more money to be made overseas?

has nothing to do with black and white americans and probably everything to do with a bad economy.

Horrible economy, highest rate of unemployment in like 25 years, worst time since the great depression? Gee, wonder if this has anything to do with it. I still, regardless of how the economy is, wish they would just network the fights. Especially in these times.

Why should we pay 50 dollars a month on boxing plus HBO/SHO and all that is on top of our 100 dollar cable bill. No other country gets ****ed worse than the US when it comes to boxing. I think we have all had enough of it. I am one of the very few people that probably bought both PPVs and I wont be buying any in the near future. ****ty undercards doesn't help either.

The oil bigwigs realized 4.50 was TOO HIGH for the consumer, so they lowered to price, I now pay 2.40. WHY CANT BOXING FOLLOW SUIT.....SUPPLY AND DEMAND at it's finest....

I think theres alot more people then anyone realizes who just wait until the next day and burn it up onto a disc from the internet and watch it. my friends and i have had that routine for years now. 50$ is unreasonable for one fight

[Kastrioti]

No I don't think they would.

Tyson maybe

Ali no if it was against a normal guy. BUt Frazier or Forema YES
Louis NO only against Marciano
Dempsey no only against Tunney

LOL Titos and Don's expression when the flag goes down. Priceless.

**** PPV #s. Why the **** do fans care so much about this **** lately? Any fan wit common sense should be against PPV.

[Bea5T]

damn this puts mayweathers ppv power much higher

Agree. Fans have the power to dictate how much a fighter is going to get, just like the rest of the entertainers.

If you want them to lower their prices, stop watching them.

The Fans decide who gets paid what.

Imagine if they had Roy jones vs Calzaghe, and Pavlik vs Hopkins on the same night for $50....
It would sell like crazy, why doesnt boxing do more of this????
It doesnt make sense!!! No wonder UFC is selling, they do a better job of stacking there cards.
