Bud-Madrimov Flopped And Turki Lost Over 10 Million

[tomhawq]

Dana Whyte even sued Espinoza for allegedly lying about the numbers. He was conditioned to believe the 1 mil PPVs regularly released in boxing. Apparently, he had distribution rights in the McGregor/Mayweather fight and questioned why only few were buying. Haha... He's now skeptical of every PPV number boxing comes up with. He knows how hard it is to sell PPVs.

Garcia and Haney were crying about not getting paid by GBP, which Oscar vehemently denied on video. They were referring to the PPV upsides they expected to be massive. Seems most people watched it for free. At least not many fans were that curious about their numbers, unlike some folks who still believe in huge PPV numbers.

No, that's never been the point. C'mon guy. The Saudis literally make 10 million every 15 minutes. The rich people your dad is talking about are chumps in comparison. The Saudis play in a completely different league, and for totally different stakes. This was always about sports washing and politics. It was never about making a few million here and there.

Yeah, you're probably right about the vast difference in scale of wealth and ulterior motives, but Turki has mentioned the value of investing in great fights. I think the principle is still similar. He's not just wiping his ass with his money and setting heaps of it on fire.

A 10 fight ''champ'' that came from Nowheresville
We will never hear from him again.

It doesn't matter it was a good competitive fight. First time an American boxer takes on a prime Eastern Euro. Madrimov is way better than lets say a Maidana so all the credit to Bud for taking the fight.

Actually it's excellent pay-per-view numbers are declining. If pay per view numbers continue to decline the promoters will have no choice but to only put the very best on pay-per-view. Or it might even get rid of pay-per-view all together. The economics of the sport are changing. No one wants to pay pay-per-view for a bogus fight that should be on TV

Prove it

Madrimov is natural 154 as opposed to Maidana 140, and more technical and equally aggressive altough Maidana may have an edge altough Maidana may have an edge in aggressiveness.

this is the negative to these saudi fights.

They dont care if they loose money and the thing is all the other promoters have to make money. but the saudis cannot promote EVERY fight. so then those that dont win the saudi lottery they stand on the sidelines waiting for their big money shot and other fights wont get made.

Also if turki ever looses interest in boxing and moves on to some other sport, everyone is spoiled to these high pay days they wont want to fight each other anymore and keep pricing themselves out.

Makes no sense
Of the 2, Maidana's resume smoothers Mad's to death
If anyone else were to fight a 10 fight champ !!!!!

Why is Bud given a pass

Level of Crawford is way higher than any Ws on Maidana's resume.
