Hopkins-Dawson Gate Numbers.

[uoykcuf]

NATION OF DOMINATIN! 175 is strong division - Hopkins, Dawson, Pascal, Shumenov, Cloud, Cleverly (although looked poor against bellew), ISMAYL SILAKH, Erdei!

Then you got froch likely moving up.

ISMAYL SILAKH probably will be the best in that division one day. I'm really impressed with his boxing skills. He will have to keep doing step ups until he improves overall tho. No point of rushing him in against someone like Dawson/Hopkins yet just for the money or something.

[TR vs. GB]

Damn $285,000 for this card and Pacquiao vs. Marquez gate is $12 million.

What you think the Cotto vs. Margarito II gate will be like at MSG?

Once the fight was announced for the Staples Center, any one with half a brain cell could see it was gonna bomb at the gate. Two black, East Coast fighters, fighting in the West Coast? LOL.


Although I bought the PPV, I will laugh when the numbers come out. It will show what a mistake it was to put it on PPV+Staples center. Just a big fail in GBP/Shaw/HBO's part. Coulda had well over 500k views on HBO WCB, possibly over million considering Hopkins-Pascal I and II drew over 2 million HBO viewers.

The fight was put on PPV because HBO had no money to pay Hopkins and Dawson. They wasted their money before the summer by giving guranteed 1 million + paydays to guys like Alexander(2 times), Berto(2 times) and a bunch of other undeserving paydays.

Hopkins and Dawson, two boring black Americans who can't draw flies.

175 is the weakest division in boxing.

Vitali Klitschko TKO 10 Chris Arreola at Staples Center was a SELL OUT and it was the MOST WATCHED/HIGHEST RATED HBO fight of 2009.

alot of those tix where sold by arreola

which black fighter draws big crowds? Not including their home town.

I didn't know anyone who thought this would be huge. Kind of sad to see a legend in the game do numbers like this, I wonder what the PPV buys are.

Another example of why boxing is divorced from reality. These guys simply don't earn the money they are paid.
