Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia: Approximately 1.2M PPV Buys; $22.8M In Ticket Revenue

[Bronx2245]

Yeah it is. Canelo nor Fury have been doing that number either.

Some observations:
1. Floyd and Ellerbee knew what they are doing in terms of building Tank
2. Tank and Ryan brought a lot of casual fans.
3. The pre fight hype, while at times tasteless, worked
4. The ESPN pre fight interviews helped massively
5.Make Spence v Crawford immediately to keep momentum
6, Tank better come out of jail all about his business because he is the next one.

It's kind of odd that ESPN gave the fight that push, but it's really Stephen A. Smith that gave it the push on his show! He's in love with David Benavidez too! Tank vs. Shakur is the fight to make...ASAP!

Tank has become a ticket selling juggernaut. His gates are the best in boxing. It's clear Haymon and Floyd knew what they were doing with Tank's career. He's the only guy in boxing (besides Canelo) that can sell a million ppvs.

Crawford and Spence if they face each other, and Ryan when he faced Davis.
You can't give Credit to one guy.

Well if this figures are accurate and real , they top expectations for sure then , for a non title fight is not bad..not bad at all.

A very good number.
For perspective, UFC / MMA, which is dependent on PPV, has had just 10 shows in 30 years and 644 total UFC events, that did as much, and only 4 in this decade.

....boxing is dead though, right?

Only 10 ppv ufc cards over 30 years? Huh ...I would have thought is more than that...but yeah boxing aint dead like some keep saying. It never will

[Roadblock]

Good on them its great for boxing and hopefully leap frogs to some more big fights being made.

[Boxing Logic]

There goes my faith in humanity. I mean come on this can't be real. Right?

[Boxing Logic]

Real number is probably 250k.

Damn haters are all over this. Boxing fans are the worst.

That number was likely fueled mostly by casuals. Hardcore fans don’t give a fck about this sport, most probably streamed it.

Thank you to the casuals for supporting boxing.
