Attendance Figures For Some Recent Fights....

[Gino Ros]

I'd like to provide some information that you may find interesting, surprising...or just boring. If you have no interest, please feel free to ignore. But I thought this was important to understand with regards to all the discussions I see on the board now about fight economics, purses and crowd size and ppv buys.

“It’s nice to have 50,000 or 60,000 people in a stadium, but at the end of the day the fighter is going to want to get paid.” - Richard Schaefer


“This fight cost us a fortune. So, economically, it doesn’t make all the sense in the world. But look at what it’s doing for the sport. It’s bringing us back to the mainstream.” - Bob Arum, discussing the Cotto-Foreman Yankee Stadium bout

Interesting.

Do you only have data for US fights?

Interesting.

I have Pac's viewership figures in the Philippines. As well as some Euro fights.

I'm trying to get the Pacquio purses for Texas. But Texas operates differently than Nevada. In Nevada, they treat fighters' purses and contracts as public information. Anybody can access those by request. In Texas, they treat fighter income as private information. Almost as if the fighter was an employee, and you don't reveal their salary.

So, when someone sees Vic Darchinyan fight on SHO, and the house is packed , don't assume that the Armenian Lobster is a big draw. The promoters merely went into Pasadena and gave away every seat.

[Repeddled]

[IIG]

All this does is make me worry about the sport. It clearly isn't in great shape at the moment.
