Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Hopes To Televise Haney-Lomachenko On ESPN, Not On Pay-Per-View

Neither can Tank. Guy did like 43k buys last time. lmao! What a joke. He can sell a gate but can't do jack for PPVs.

Only PPV guys are Canelo in the US and Joshua and Fury in the UK. That's it.

That's bullshxt and you know it. It doesn't even make sense. It costs a hell of a lot more to go to the fight than to order it. He broke the record for the gate at the Barclay Center and in Atlanta and sells out venues constantly, so the boxing public is invested in him enough to spend that amount of money to go to his fights, but you want people to believe that their not invested enough to order it, which costs much less. That's just dumb and hating. Tank has been PPV every fight for the past few years and averages 250-300K, which is good for a weight class where no one else can even do enough numbers to get one; not Loma, not Haney, not Ryan, NO ONE. Just listen to all the top contenders of the division calll his name, and he doesn't have a real belt. They all want their chance for Tank to make them a PPV fighter as well. But hate on, someone has to, just means that he's doing his job. If he weren't doing good numbers, no promotion company would be willing to continuously lose money every one of his fights for years, its not a logical choice, and everyone over there is about making money.

When I think of people buying Tank PPV fights what comes to mind is the famous saying associated to P.T. Barnum, " There's a sucker born every minute"

I hope to see the next article to be about the date announcement. Nothing else. I don't want to hear anything about the negotiations. None, not one bit of detail. None.

If there's a huge public interest and following, it going to sell, that's just business. You can call them suckers, but as you can see from this site, his name draws huge interest, whether its hate or love. When he fights Haney or Loma, there will be more people that buy it in hopes of seeing him lose than win, but its all good money.

This fight would have to be on ESPN. I don't think either fighter has major PPV drawing power at the moment. Outside of the general boxing public, no one knows who they are.

Those fights will be worth buying at least.
I'd pay for the Garcia fight also. I just can't believe people drop $75 to watch him fight bums like Romero, it's comical.

Tank has sold decent numbers on PPV several times.

Haney and Lomachenko never have.

ppv charges seem high stateside, how about ppvlite, 30 bucks for a good event, no excuses for illegal stuff, even if it disappoints no biggie, build up guys fanbases better that way, if they have the talent that is or maybe this just doesnt work US market for some reason idk

Thank God for fighters that want to fight and promoters that know how to promote. I never thought I’d like Bob Arum, but compared to others that have stopped matchups right in their tracks, he’s the right example.

[Cypocryphy]

Jesus Christ you sound so scared it’s pathetic. Listen, Haney has already said he wants the fight, and loma wants the fight as well. Just stop being a lil coward and admit it: you’re afraid loma is going to lose, so you secretly are hoping the fight won’t happen.

suck it up sno flake, the fights gonna happen, and there’s nothing you can do but watch loma get smoked like the fraud he is.

I want the fight to be made but am upset that it's not a PPV to satisfy Haney's ridiculous purse demands, therefore I'm scared. LMAO! You're an idiot.
