TANK vs BARRIOS - PPV BUYS??

[The tucker]

As I mentioned many times, piracy is at an all time high. Triller learned the hard way. The days of high rate PPV prices are done.

it’s a learning experience for Uncle Al and Floyd.

it won’t even matter if fake numbers are disclosed. At the end of the day the truth hurts so much that TMT and PBC can no longer tag original prices. Floyd probably scratching his head why his REAL Paul numbers didn’t do well.

I told everyone, Floyd should’ve had Tank on his undercard for the Paul fight. It would’ve helped PBC overall and pushed Tank for the greater good of TMT, but Floyd’s ego doesn’t want Tank to benefit.

Floyd put tank on the may vs mcgregor card. He wants to be main tank a main attraction. Imagine Floyd headlining ppv’s then fighting on someone’s undercard

No way it did a really good number at that price. Saw little to no discussion outside of the usual hardcore boxing forums. Saw some postings after the fight but that means nothing for revenue. Was never close to trending and I had no problem finding the fight.
As a rule if you don’t hear anything by Wednesday after fight night it’s definitely a flop they will just sweep under the rug. We’ll see who they put tank in with next as he can’t sell a fight by himself. 10 years ago that fight would have been on a random Saturday night on HBO. May not have even been a main event.

It's no surprise,, Tank excites casuals but he isn't yet one of these who ppl would pay to watch him beat anybody like a Canelo or a Joshua. He's not there yet and he still needs to be built and be in some decent fights on free TV.

But his owners and masters are greedy money grabbing scum and don't want to wait so are talking him up as much as they can and hoping to get paid.

That's also why we hear Ellerbe and Floyd dont want him in against the best and would rather him face a near nobody with a plastic belt and push it as a world title encounter. They can't afford a tough fight, for Tank to look bad or average and they certainly can't afford a loss. Bad for business. These causals want an air of invincibility but then they also know when he is fighting bums.

They’re marketing to a different crowd. They’re taking Tank to the hip hop audience rather than the boxer audience. An old army buddy of mine was at the fight and he said that was pretty much the angle. A lot of Lamborghini’s, rappers, and video hoes at the fight. So I don’t see them lowering the prices anytime soon. But that forces them to put Tank in with good creditable opponents and I’m for that.

these statements dont make a whole lot of sense. why would they have to match tank with credible opponents if these people dont know boxing? and if you look at who they are matching tank with its clear they arent taking any risks

It makes all the sense you’re just a fcuking moron.

Better than the LSC PPV according to Espinoza.

I'm sure JakeNDaBox will have a number by next week.

A lof of you guys still don't get it. Fans are still trying to justify the PPV model. We're already going 3 years with boxing fans knowing different prices in the market. There is a ''service'' or ''subscription'' based sports option. Diehard fans know this. LDBC members all throughout Youtube know this. DBN Nation, Ego, they've all talked about DAZN. Fans will start understanding you can't charge premium prices anymore. Also we're in the mobile app age of convenience. With people buying 5-15 dollar apps. You can't sell $60 fights even if you presented that option in an ''app store.''

This is why piracy is at an all time high. As much as the ****** Haymonite world doesn't want to admit, $19.99 is reasonable for a fight that includes a month's worth of other fights and content. It doeesn't matter if you don't watch the other fights, it's the integrity for what you're given. In the end, this model wins. I mean I'm sure most blunt and 40oz enthusiasts spend $20 at Popeyes every time they get blown. DAZN knew this. Their initial proposal was titled the ''Popeyes Effect Initiative.'' Tank belongs at DAZN and should sign with Alvarez. He's already wearing his gloves. Floyd and Haymon can hang out in the basement of Girl Collection. They probably do a lot of things outside of boxing.

Is 200k good? Barrera and Morales were making 300k+ as were Manny and Floyd before they hit the big time.
