      How can you bet on a PPV bombing for GGG-Lemieux? 150k would probably be superstar numbers to you.

        But Jobs did know how to take an existing product that someone else had invented and make it appealing to the masses with his skill at marketing. Once the yuppies fell into it and just had to have the latest and greatest whatever piece of crap Apple put on the market, at whatever ridiculous inflated price Jobs decided to sell it at, the rest was history.
        Yes ive heard this straw man argument before.

        Did he invent them? No but his vision, focus, and drive got Apple to create user friendly devices. Gave us all a different angle to using technology. In other words he figured out the formula and led to better it.

        A genius! Yes!

          I will put a number of 200K for it to be considered to be a success. C'mon... no balls?

            A PPV bombing is all relative to what the expenses are. There is also the whole put them on PPV to make that a market thing. Oscar sold boffo at peak but stuff like Genaro and Ruelas was relatively small. He didn't explode the market until Pea (Chavez would have but they went CCTV).

            This is already a highly successful promotion. The break even point will be surpassed and then we'll see what GGG can do with bigger names.

                How about you @sshole? You got a number to put out there? For a PPV to be considered a BOMB, it has to LOSE MONEY. Anything break even or above is successful, especially for first time out. Considering that every PBC broadcast to date has probably lost money, they can all be considered as BOMBS. Same goes for Ward's last fight that no one watched, either in the arena or at home on TV.

                So instead of the usual bullshit from the haters, how about some numbers?

                If not, well I have plenty of room on my ignore list for the idiots who are not intelligent enough to carry on a decent discussion.

                  Why do people bet points? that's "pointless" pun intended. Lol no balls? Do you want my points? I'll give you my 10 million points right now man. I don't care about betting points.

                  1 month Avatar bet?

                  Okay the PPV does not surpass 250k PPV's. You have to rock an Andre Ward avatar of choice. I'll rock an avatar of your choice.

                      I give precisely zero fucks about your ignore list, Broses Brolone.

                      I'm ordering the card.

                      I'll let the PPV **** measuring contests be just that.
