Khan-Mccloskey did 150,000 PPV buys

[SCtrojansbaby]

Mayweather
Pacquiao
V. Klitschko
W. Klitschko
Cotto
Haye

Are all much bigger draws than Khan.

Mayweather is retired, no one knows who Haye is in America while Khan's name is getting bigger and bigger every day. LOL at Cotto how many buys did Cotto Mayorga do?

Truthfully, even if it did 90,000, that's a pretty solid number. Considering the change in broadcasters and the relatively unknown opponent, Khan was able to sell a decent amount.

Take 90,000, for example. Essentially, numbers-wise, this would be like if Khan was fighting in America, had an opponent that was only kind of known, switched from HBO to SHOWTIME and sold about 550,000. That's pretty damn good.

If it's 150,000, then it's more like they sold over 900,000. These are pretty good numbers.

Those numbers aren't comparable, in terms of boxing PPV's there is no way that a Boxing PPV that sells 90,000 in the UK is like a US PPV that sell's 550,000. 550,000 in the US is a pretty successful number, for example didn't Cotto-Margarito do around 600,000 and that was on HBO PPV. 90,000 is good considering the late change to Primetime, especially as Primetime is a PPV channel that 98% of people don't know about, it is only known about by Boxing/MMA fans.

You can't just take population differences into account when working out these things out. Mayweather-Hatton sold 1.9 Million PPV's in the US, it sold 2.5 Million in the UK, if they would have had a late change over to Primetime then it might have done 1-1.5 Million but this is obviously a guess as there are no comparable examples.

I'm talking worldwide, Khan aint **** in America either didn't like 5k fans turn up for Khan-Maidana? How many PPV buys did any Khan fight do in America? NONE

[typeone]

150,000 Mmmm If this figure is correct thats alot of irish who watched this fight..I believe there was about 6k at the fight..Which aint bad concidering!

[-drebin-]

I find that extremely hard to believe. Considering his PPVs normally don't sell well on SKY, for the fight to do 150k on a very small channel against a mediocre opponent as well doesn't sound right. If true though, I'm very impressed given the circumstances.

if amir wants bigger things... he knows where to go.

if he's satisfied with the current numbers(assuming it's true) it'll be unlikely he crosses the pond.

its the former imho.

I know Khans deal was 50:50 with Primetime, which means Khan promotions would have taken £7.50 x 150K which is over £1M sterling.
If 150K sales is right, then Team Khan made a smart business decision kicking Sky int touch for Primetime and now having signed a deal with GBP and HBO sky can literally take a running jump.
The PPV was a failure and a dissapointment, but those numbers will mean whilst someone at Sky was smiling after the joke of a PPV card bombed, they will be feeling the heat for losing all that potential revenue lol

Statement from primetime below:

'We are delighted with the figures which was a record breaking night for Primetime. We would like to thank Khan Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions and all the fans who supported us.'

Even if those numbers are true, the revenue from any Khan fight is like pocket change to a company the size of Sky.
