Fury/Ngannu did horrible ppv buys

[BodyBagz]

What was the draw for watching this shlt ?
Even for free I regretted wasting my time
It was a shlt "fight"
Fury has no pride in himself to look like that.
Francis being a main attraction now proves just how fcked the HW div is.
There will be no HOFers from this toilet bowl era.
Maybe Usyk.

Well, the time of the fight was bad. Although it started at 2pm ET and the fight was at 7, it's just a bad time for a fight

[Lance98]

No one asked for this fight as fury is still active and holds a title. This is not some mayweather/conor thing where mayweather was retired and came back after 2 years. People can see through fury's bs. He lies a lot and insults people's intelligence. Not only he looked bad winning, but he also made boxing look bad. The only thing he did was enable mma fans to act all smug and say stuff like mma guys can beat any boxer.

Pointless thread.

They didn't set up the show for PPV, they didn't even mention it once in the build up.


Why does the USA folk have to think that everyone has the same business model!

Do you think it will work, I can't imagine wimmin feeling safe going over there to be hoes on vacation with their friends, it might be cool to visit but do what exactly? I don't think of anything other than oil and sand when I think of Saudi Arabia.

It will presumably appeal to the same sort of people who pose next to supercars in Dubai to post on Instagram. Bewildering to me, but it apparently interests a good proportion of people in the west.

So, this was by “Uncle Dave” Meltzer.

The guy who reported that CM Punk “lunged” at Tony Khan.

If you guys want to run with this, by all means.

the gypsy con job

The saudis must be pissed they took a massive L if they are the ones who fronted the guarantee money.


That means all these massive payouts for future fights have dried up for the fighters.

Nobody talks about the impacts to the sport when fighters are overpayed but it has major negative effects. Guys will hold out not fighting each other waiting for big pay days. Or if they are under a big contract like GGG under Dazn who had high guarantees regardless who he fought, he was happy to fight steve rolls for 10 million, that destroys the sport.

I don’t think the Saudis notice losing $100 million so this is nothing.

They have spent more on cars.

[The Big Dunn]

Few US residents watch the heavy weights. Let alone a fight between foreigners. And a different time zone.

On a Saturday afternoon when college football is on.

[YGriffith]

I said this would happen months ago.

Nobody is buying a 2pm east coast time/11am west coast time ppv card in America.

Saudi Arabia time difference hurts United States ppv buy potential

UFC 254(and alot of the other events did better than this crap) did 600k+ and it was in abu dhabi, the reason this and many Boxing PPV event "flopped", is because people overestimate pro boxing's popularity, especially the "mega" stars.

Literally the only reason RyanTank didnt flop was because it was basically a popular influencer against a guy that is semi popular in the rap/hood whatever scene, it was basically an influencer/rappers gathering, not an event for boxing "enthusiasts/purists" (which by the way keep holding the sport back).
