Do you think GGG-Lemieux will flop on PPV?

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

You guys forget that on the same night of JCC jr vs Martinez Showtime had for free Canelo vs Lopez ! So that took some fans away from ording. Give me a good under card and I have no problem ording this fight because it will be good while it lasts !!!

I'm going to try to attend this fight - but I think it'll be a box office dud.

Keep saying that because I want to get tickets for this and not struggle to get them

[Suckmedry]

This is going to be a great fight. Very excited and glad it got made.

It will be an embarrassing flop. Hell,Lemieux's last fight was a flop and that wasn't even PPV.
idk if HBO wanted this to be PPV or Oscar but it's a dumb idead. Golovkun in his own is still not big enough to be a PPV star and Lemieux as I said got shit ratings even on a free show in his homecountry.

anything over 300k is a big success; not many fighters can carry their first ppv to those numbers

This fight will do WAY less than Cotto vs Martinez. Nobody(except HBO fanboys, #48ers, and other hardcore fans) really knows or cares about GGG or Lemieux especially enough to buy their fight on PPV ffs! GGG is NO PPV star and will hopefully never be imo. The guy is 33 years old already and has a resume of opposition so far that makes prime HBO hyped Berto look P4P and ATG status.

I hope PBC puts on a show on the same date at the same time at Barclays.

No it won't flop. 200-300k is a success.

200k x $60 = $12,000,000

Especially since purses are probably $3M total

... I don't care what happens -- PPV is dying as a business model anyway... If it's true that they make it a PPV fight, it's only because they want a media stunt for GGG... But don't you forget: PPV in Canada isn't done yet!... And Lemieux is from where?... (They even had The Kovalev card on PPV in Canada last night -- just because of Pascal!!!)

1/2 goes to the cable company. But u wonder what the purses are? For them to go to these lengths, HBO really must not have been too interested in paying Lemieux what he was asking.
