Gennady Golovkin vs David Lemiuex Does Roughly 150,000 PPV Buys

[Sweet Pea 50]

Obviously Loeffler is high and Glaser might be low. Who cares at this stage though? 97-150? It's arguing over 53,000 buys. Take an average and call it approximately 125.

I think that's fair.

Taffet doesn't directly say 150k, but here's the important part:



Perhaps not a bust at all.

Sounds like the event was successful and they didn't lose any money which this fight was from the start, to not lose any money and get Lemiuex into the ring with GGG with a good purse of 1.5 million

If 150k was successfu, after those paydays and all that advertising, then we'd see a hell of a lot more ppvs from various boxers. I think it's pretty clear that most promoters aren't going to bother unless they have a shot at 250k +. They certainly aren't going to be running out to put on more 150k ppvs. We can be forgiving in our use of the word "success" but no one does this to break even. And, by that definition, it was a disappointment and a failure.

I'm not talking as a PPV bit for HBO as there's is talk that they ran out of budget for the year

Loeffler said the fight sold slightly more than 150,000 pay-per-view units

I don't know how they turned a profit with 150k buys. They have to give half to the networks. So I don't know how, let's say if 150k is the rela number, that's actually a profit? That's like $4.5million after you split it.

This is very conflicting because Kevin Iole and Showtime reported 550k for Mayweather-Berto, while Glaser reported 389k for the fight. They decided to go with Glaser on that one. Now that Glaser came out with the 97k figure for GGG-Lemiuex, they decided to go with Kevin Iole and HBO's 150k figure. Some people are going to have to explain their inconsistencies.

Personally, I don't care about either PPV, I didn't buy either of them and wished they both flopped pre fight.

All the purses add up to 4m

Article says $2m gate, add in the PPV buys you gotta figure it turned a profit or came close.

But it will still put GGG on the bad side of things when it comes to negotiating a fight with Canelo or Cotto.
