    Golden Boy's expectations were a flop, but the PPV overall was not.

      It is a flop when a promoter didn't earn much. But yes 1.4 ppv is still a lot of viewers, but in terms of making money it is a flop.

        had this been any other fighter doing the same numbers, people would be bragging about how successful it was, it is no way in hell this fight was going to do better then Mayweather vs Oscar, only fight that will do better then that is of course Mayweather vs Pacman
        If your a salesman normally your boss will give you a quota to deliver. It's like your boss is saying you have sell this much or I'm kicking you out.

        It's like your boss is saying you have to sell 4million or else if you go lower than that your under performing or losing profit for the company. And 1.4 million is way way of the mark compared to the projected 4million.

        If it was in the office place the sales person would either be thrown out of work, demoted or will get a salary deduction for not achieving expectations.

Stop hating, anything over a million ppv buys is a success & i'm sure all those involved in promoting it were happy with the results. only one complaining is you, blockhead.

            I'm sure it was said somewhere in these 15 pages. The 4 million was a number thrown out there by GBP to generate hype. Nobody knows if GBP expected 2 million buys. We don't have any real way to gauge how much money was spent on promotion or how much money was really made. The fight was in no way a flop. A flop would be a situation where they either made very little money or were in the negative. If they truly expected 2 million, maybe you can label the fight a slight disappointment.
            Yup still 2million and 1.4million are big figures bro.. If there targeting a minimum of 2mill and max of 4mill. I would say that's a very big disappointment.

            There's no hate hear. Just cold hard facts. If your a salesman normally your boss will give you a quota to deliver. It's like your boss is saying you have sell this much or I'm kicking you out.

                I hope the TS is getting some of that money. Arguing like he was getting a cut of that dinero.

                    Ya'll think they really expected 4million? That's almost twice the highest PPV ever. I didn't know the invented time machines for prime Tyson and prime Ali to come out and fight each other.

                      The most heavily promoted fight in boxing history did not break 2 mil?

                      It's a flop.
