Bud-Madrimov Flopped And Turki Lost Over 10 Million

[tomhawq]

Bottom line is people need to stop asking about PPV numbers. None of them can be confirmed. They're all made up. Some even suggested Tank/Martin did better than the Garcia/Haney fight. Something like 200K for the Haney/Garcia fight and 300-350K for the Martin/Tank fight, according to Fat Dan. How in hell could that happen? That's why people need to do simple math and use common sense.... This article itself attributes it to piracy, but then dismantles it by blaming it's because it's Bud in the main card. He should be blaming his fellow writers for exaggerating previous numbers. They're all fake. There is a certain group that is biased towards a particular platform. MR, TR, GBP, DAZN are all fair game to this group.

I can't wrap my head around it either. How in the world a fight (Garcia-Haney) full of controversies that reached every corner of the earth not have a single PPV number associated with it, while a relatively low profile fight between Tank and Martin did? They want us to believe all those controversies from start to finish; Garcia behaving mentally deranged, his tons of confrontations with Haney, etc. did nothing to drive up the PPV attraction. I thought what more publicity, good or bad, do any promoter of fighter have to come up with to sell a fight? I've never seen any fight where no celebrity, most of them only known to a few, didn't chime in what they thought about the fight, Garcia's behavior, whether it's fake or real, etc. And when I logged in to Youtube every link in the page was about the fight. It got even bigger after the fight and went weeks before it subsided.

Then later we had a relatively low profile fight between Tank and Martin, whom casuals have never heard of, they want us to believe it did better numbers? It does seem like there is some paranormal activity going on that we can't see manipulating narratives. Can we have an article about this from Iole?

Paranormal chit for sure
Tomhawq I don’t know how this all comes about but I would be willing to bet that Garcia vs Haney did amazing numbers but they don’t want to reveal them because of all the controversy that has happened
Funny How both fighters haven’t said anything when before they were complaining about not getting their money
My Thinking is that , they don’t want to pour any gas on the already burning fire ( publicity lol )

They probably should have split it up into 2 different cards. It was some expensive fights on there.

And still no source
Until they show proof of source I don’t believe anything

I blame the people who constantly justify Bud fighting lesser competition bc they hate Spence/PBC. Bud is not Canelo and better fights should be demanded from Bud. Bud should be receiving as more criticism than Canelo does for not fighting Benavidez. NOBODY asked for Bud-Madrimov. What you all need to accept that the days of a belt mattering are over. Nobody cares about Madrimov being a champion and Bud winning a title after a higher weight class if it’s not against a worthy opponent. Bud thinks that promoters have an agenda against him when that’s just insecurity. The truth is he has outrageous purse demands that his stock doesn’t justify and nobody wants to lose money. Turki came along and financed a very unnecessary fight just like Top Rank used to do until Top Rank had enough. Add the ever growing piracy issue and it’s just a losing situation for any promoter to finance a Bud fight.

The only fights that can truly generate a successful event for Bud is a Spence rematch at 154/160, Benavidez at 168, a Mayweather comeback, Tank at a catchweight, Tszyu in Australia, Charlo in Texas Boots or Ryan Garcia. Everything else will be a flop, because Bud just isn’t a star. Unfortunately for him he doesn’t live in the era that had so many fighters who were draws.

He didnt loose NOTHING. His toilet is made out of 24 carat gold. The man wipes his a-ss with thousand dollar bills. He pumps out 10 million dollars of oil out of the ground in about an hour.

That may be a good analogy. There is good and evil competing with each other in the paranormal universe just as in the real world. Rick Glaser may actually be the good guy or the lesser evil dispelling evil deeds perpetrated by evil doers.

Seriously, if Dan Rafael came up with 300-350K on the Tank-Martin fight, we can safely assume Haney-Garcia did more than 1 million easily. Which is still conservative if we are to believe Rafael's numbers. But I don't believe those numbers. Even 20K-60K is hard to achieve in this day and age let alone 300K? It's clearly made up. (Rafael is a constant fixture in PBC press conferences. That deep smartass-sounding voice of his is easily recognizable.)

Trust me if you have been a fan of boxing even for a decade, you know exactly the comparative sizes of every fight you have seen. There's no way Tank-Martin is any bigger than the Turki fight in California, for example. No way the Haney-Garcia was just a tad bigger. You either believe FatD's number and accept the Garcia-Haney did 3x or more or stop believing them altogether.

Anyone, which includes you and me, can come up with any number. Try it on the next PPV show and pretend it's coming from a reliable source. Just post a number in this forum, any number on the just concluded PPV and people have no way of confirming it.

If Garcia vs Tank did 1.2 million ( I think that was the # )
I would say that the Haney fight would be close to that with Ryan
Tank vs Martin didn’t even scratch the surface imho

You said it brother.

It's a f***up sport with fans deluding themselves that people are still buying PPVs in mass numbers.
