Is Turki Alalshikh getting a return from his investment in boxing?

[MulaKO]

No fughin way
And not that he’s starving either

[low blows]

He could lose a few million, and I wouldn't care one bit lol I'm just tryna see some good fights man, we have had some very dark times. Gotta cherish it for however long it lasts

He's not losing a "few million" on these cards he is losing tens of millions but it's not about being in the black on these cards it's about advertising the friendly nature of the despotic Saudi Royal family if you put in them in a corner.

I would never attend one of these cards just because I know what's behind this. This is nothing new as South Africa in the 70's and 80's were doing the same thing with Sun City and did sports washing with boxing cards and golf matches/tournaments.

No one is buying them. They're free for everyone to pirate as you can see in this thread. No one is buying PPVs anymore.

He's spending millions of $$$ on promotions alone. You could tell just by seeing so many moving parts in his press cons. Reality is only a few souls are spending money on their PPVs. It stands to reason people watch everything for free including those in the US. No difference. If they can pirate that, they can pirate this.
Point of this thread is if Fat Dan can still come up with numbers when it comes to PPVs on PBC fights, where are Alalshikh's numbers? They're massive compared to the US's.
The answer is they're all fake numbers which are severely exaggerated. Everything in this sport is exaggerated when it comes to numbers. Everyone is making up numbers pulled out of their asses. Why do you think HBO, NBC, CBS, Fox, Showtime left boxing? Exactly. They don't make any profit. So when you see fake reports saying fighter A, B, C made $25 mil, $30 mil, etc., don't believe it.

So do you think Money Mayweather's money is 'severely' exaggerated or ? What about Al' Haymon?

Yep. Everything is exaggerated. How many PPVs have you bought so far this year brother?

[Elheath]

Think of it this way, up until 2023 how often has boxing fans even thought about Saudi Arabia in your life? Now compare that to that how many times have you talked or typed about Saudi in the past year alone. That kinda answers it.

Is he making money? No. Is he getting his money's worth out of it? Hell yes.

[El_Mero]

He definitely gets some. And now that he's bought a perce tage of dazn it'll be better. Once ginger and wahid gtfo he'll get a bigger return that's for sure

[crimsonfalcon07]

They're not free brother. What are you talking about?

They're not in it to make money. Again, if you don't understand that... You might play on the "I shop at Walmart" level. They are the top .01% of the top .01%. If you think they care at all about $$$, you probably don't have the perspective to ever understand. They're playing with nation-state games and stakes.

Remember, you're dealing with people who make an estimated $2.3 million EVERY. MINUTE.

For reference, they could buy Top Rank with about 4.5 hours worth of passive income. If you think they're in it for the money, you are missing the entire point.

None lol

Just say you're crying that pbc is dead and turki is spending money on making big fights happen.
