How many of you bought the Roach vs Davis PPV?

Realistic numbers for me should be around 50K. Numbers in the 100Ks are too hard for me to swallow. In my place of work not a single one watches boxing let alone buy ppv's.

50,000 is still a massive number. You'd be extremely lucky to achieve that amount if you're a ppv seller. In time we will soon see these numbers dwindle significantly and people will no longer talk in terms of thousands, but in the hundreds... People need to wake up and start refusing to be fed with fake unsubstantiated numbers. Trust me, reporters pulling numbers out of their asses will soon be exposed. It's inevitable.

I for one never took these reported numbers ranging from 100K to 1M seriously even when cable tv in every home is still widespread. They're just so fantastic to be believed. And now we have all these premiere networks quitting boxing left and right, yet we still have shady people making up numbers as if nothing has changed.

Anyone here buying the Roach vs Davis ppv rematch? It's clearly attracting more attention due to the controversies surrounding it.

(I was thinking of making a separate thread for this...)
