Comments Thread For: DAZN: Canelo-Golovkin III Generated 1.06 Million 'Worldwide' Buys

[nino brown21]

Unfortunately I did. It was a blatant “let me just go 12 rounds and not get beat up too bad” cash grab by GGG, and Canelo wasn’t much better.

I would e thought canelo would've unleashed all his demons onto ggg but nope . If anything it looked like canelo was going easy on him compared to his other fights . This has lowered canelos stock in my eyes but he's only human .

Neither has done 500k ppv buys.

The difference is 500k PPV's is a flop when you pay 65 million in purses.

45 million for Canelo
20 million for Golovkin

And this is what seems to be confusing people. When you paid 65 million to just two of the fighters on the card then the fight would have to do HBO PPV #s like fights 1 and 2 in order to be considered a success. You guys are also fooling yourselves by believing it sold 550k PPVs at $85.99 but that price was for non subs. I guarantee you that 95% of the 550k buys were subscribers who paid $64.99. So, due to the amount of the purses this fight is a colossal flop. But they already fooled those imbeciles in 2018 with the old bait and switch about "PPV is dead" so why not tryto fool them again by telling them it sold 1.2 million and they profited 100 million billion trillion! Morons!

just saw on another post that the revenue was around 79.5 millions on PPV alone(worlwide), if you add the gate revenue they could very well end up with more than 100 millions... if true then that was very profitable...

I can't help but laugh at all these guys trying to spin this as a failure. It's like they're out on the street trying to convince people that it's midnight when it's high noon. There's going to be so many haters going to bed tonight with a cold sweat, saying to themselves, "NOOOOOOOOO—How is this possible?"

Nobody is trying to spin this as a failure, we're just making salient points about how this fight flopped. I can't help but laughing at how you guys are trying to spin this as a success. And the only one that's going to bed tonight with a cold sweat is Joe Markowski while he waits for that phone call from Len Blavatnik to pull the plug on the whole thing.

let's use the lowest number PPV

600K X $90 = 54 mil



it's the equivalent of seling 900K PPV at 60 bucks a pop. it's still a success.



i'm talking US PPV alone.

So let'e use your formula but since we can agree that 95% of the PPV buys came from existing subscibers which only had to pay $64.99, let's figure out a new number. I'm going to be generous and round that number up to $70. 600K X $70 = 42 mil. This was a major flop!

That clown’s using trump math

The second PPV of Canelo and Golovkin was limited to cable providers, through HBO, on FITE TV and on RING TV. Collectively, it did 1.1 PPV buys. That's collectively through the networks.

Now it did more than 1 million PPV buys. It's only slightly less than how it did before. How can you say that it flopped? Where? How? Why?

This **** is just ridiculous how you guys are experiencing this level of denial .

My entire time on this site no one ever counted ppvs as world wide lmao. This is pure cope

All of this worldwide ppv count started in 2018 during the beginning of the GREAT PROMOTIONAL WARS. Dazn started all this crap. What they don't seem to realize is Americans aren't concerned with worldwide views, just domestic ones. They came over here in 2018 attempting to takeover American boxing. Fast forward four years and not only do they not have any American stars, they only have like two relatively obscure fighters in Montana Love and Ammo Williams. Canelo is not fighting until May 2023 so there goes those subscriptions and he will probably be fighting the PBC guys. 3G is not on Dazn anymore and his best option for big money fights before he retires is PBC. Devin and Andrade are gone. AJ has no belts and is locked into a lifetime contract to fight in the UK. Usyk is a free agent and if Wilder wins his next fight then those two will be dance partners in 2023. Can you imagine if Wilder beats Usyk and not only does Haymon get his hands on the HW titles he will probably be putting on all the MW titles fights on PBC excluding the WBO. Ironic huh? That should satisfy FOX enough to stay on board for a few more years. Not only did Hearn's little foray into America completely fail but he's getting boxed out in the UK between SKY and BT. But you guys keep believing that Dazn is successful and they're taking over America but hey, at least you guys don't have to pay for PPV. LOL

First post I’ve read so far that tells the truth. These are not good numbers, the US buy rate was lower than the plant fight by hundreds of thousands. Dazn lost money on this one. That’s what happens when you take a sound loss ans then cherry pick an old past it opponent.

Here's what you need to get your head round - DAZN don't make money from the US buy rate only, it's the worldwide buy rate that determines whether they lose money or make money from a fight.

Worldwide, Canelo/GGG 3 sold many more PPVs than Canelo/Plant. That's the comparison you should be making.

Why is this a disappointment, is money from other countries not count? Can you not purchase things with French money, U.K money, European money? It all goes in the bank the same way, money was made, this not including the Network rights that Networks in others countries pay in order to show the fight on their platform, not to mention sponsors, and the gate which was reported around 10 to 11 million, so enlightened me how this is not a success, people don't understand that boxing is a global sport, and everyone gets caught up on the U.S PPV numbers, but in every fight through out history, the real money comes from tv rights along with other factors, that's why people get confused about the purses in boxing, people always say, that guy made 20 million on there was only 500k in PPV buys, they lost money, no they didn't, revenue streams in boxing come from a lot more places than PPV. One last thing, pay attention to the UFC PPV buys, people always think that their PPV numbers are just in the U.S, but if you pay close attention when they release the numbers, it always, always states, that they are global buys, but no one pays attention to that.

Some of these old time US fans are so used to thinking about PPV numbers in one way only that they have literal blank spaces in their minds.

Good point about the UFC PPV numbers, by the way. Never seen anybody mention that before.
