According to Kevin iole. Also, only 4,300 of 25,000 tickets were sold. This should have never been on ppv but further proof the sport is dead in the US
Prograis vs Zepeda does 20,000 ppv buys

Damn, if that's true no wonder the check bounced. They must've lost a TON of money. I have a feeling the Crawford ppv is gonna do similar numbers. -
It happens with new promoters and bad advertising .
It happened with roc nation and dazn. Signing good but not popular fighters and way overpaying them.Comment

Boxing, as a sport, is dying. People are more interested in the UFC because it is more fun and has better matchups. The UFC is a more exciting sport to watch, and the matches are often more evenly matched. Boxing matches can be one-sided, and the fights are often not as exciting to watch. Also, we see fighters hype up ridiculous mismatches (Fury versus Chisora, Crawford versus Avenysian). These are ridiculously mismatched fights and the A sides are acting like they’re giving us a treat. No wonder nobody wants to watch.Comment

It's the sanctioning body's fault for approving the promoter to bid on the fight.
If I wanted to bid $35K on that fight, they wouldn't have let me. Besides my sum being under their minimum, they need to approve these promoters before they allow them to bid on a fight. I'm not approved.
But the WBC approved MarvNation. Why? Because 3% of $2.4M was supposed to go back to the WBC. And 3% of $2.4M is more than 3% of $1.2M.
I know this is gonna shock you guys. But it's the sanctioning bodies fault. I mean, they sanctioned it.Comment

We can only hope
If that happens, maybe this fraud will consider fighting real opponents for a change.
Maybe he'll even try to fight Spence for real now!Comment

Crawford will cover 18-19k out of 21k before street teams in Omaha. Add in sponsors. I still say they come in around 90-100k PPV. Red but no the worst.
I know the Ennis fans will chime in. Sorry no one knows him either to push it.
Better chance for PPV with Ortiz Jr but Oscar won't submit the paperwork.
The fight is the drunk in Texas but Haymon sees a Fury Wilder outcome to his other ace.Comment

I don't understand why these promoters want to lose money. They lost a ton of money. I'm just waiting for another app to come and announce that they will start paying boxers 15 or 20 million a fight to overdo dazn and BLK prime.Comment
