FIVE HBO PPVs in 6 months...WTF!?!?!

[SeekDaGreat]

Kovalev vs Stevenson is ppv? WTF

F1ck no. Kovalev vs Ward might be though. But Kovalev vs anyone else is an absolute NO.

Also, Canelo vs Rosado is not PPV worthy. I will stream that. And I encourage everyone else to do the same.

We can't keep being force fed ****.

Was just watching Eddie Hearn interview with Krugan talking about the negativity for PPV's and then the Joshua fight turning around and doing very well.

You know what...SHUT THE *** UP BOXING FANS! So you mean to tell me UFC fans can support their sport by buy PPV's Once a month but Boxing Fans are B1tching about a few PPV Events a year while most of the year boxing is Free or on Subscription TV?

Stop being CHEAP, boxing really don't ask you for much but yet fans sure do ask for A LOT but yet they don't want to pay for ****

If I was Oscar and Tom Loeffler tell the fans hey you know what, lets see how much you guys want GGG vs Canelo, support their next PPV and if the Numbers comeback good for both...THEN THEY WILL FIGHT! I love this sport 100% and I don't think that would be asking for much. Both Pacquiao and Mayweather was putting up big PPV Numbers so it was clear the fans wanted to see them fight, I think it should be the same for GGG and Canelo.

You want them to fight? OK PROVE IT! Start buying their PPV's!

Fighters have to be PAID so yeah Promoters need to do a couple of PPV's to make a profit. Can't just depend on Ticket Sales to pay everybody involved with the Event on top of keeping your promotion going

Wtf did I just read? You're a ****ing fool if you think buying all these PPV's actually "help" boxing as a sport. LMAO

Gullible people nowadays man.

Yeah Because not supporting the sport you claim to love will help it even more right?

[maguirre]

Believe me if it's up to HBO all these fights would be on regular subscription. This is all about promoters and fighters' greed. You get a guy like TBE, for example, and you won't even break even.

We wouldn't be having this discussion if the scheduled fights were GGG vs. Canelo and Pac vs Crawford along with Stevenson vs. Kovalev.

That might be true, but I will ask this...can someone actually Prove that Casuals are just as excited for those 3 Match Ups at this very moment just as much as Hardcore Boxing Fans?

Part of having a successful PPV is having Casuals just as interested in a match up as Hardcore Fight Fans!

GGG vs Lemeiux Flopped because Casuals was clueless to that match up and had no clue who either was but more so Lemeiux

[Eff Pandas]

Like the UFC, they would probably load up cards and give us big fights if they know that fans would actually SUPPORT! UFC can roll out Mega Cards because they know their fans will actually BUY PPV's! Takes MONEY to Big Fights but we expect Networks and Promotions to foot the bill and give us everything for FREE

Boxing could load up the cards anytime they wanted to. A UFC PPV does good if it sells 400k. Boxing gots to do 1M+ for it not to be a failure in about half of fans minds. UFC puts on events, Boxing puts on fights. Thats the difference with the sports across the board. And really thats the US market largely cuz the UK PPV's (that I've seen anyway) do a good job of making a PPV event with many interesting fights. US PPV's are one fight + filler fights, maybe one legit interesting fight if we're lucky. This is why people ***** about PPV's. The entire value of the PPV is put on one fight & not into an event. Idk I just know I completely understand people being unhappy with how boxing puts forth PPV cards & its a model which is destined to fail while continuing to make boxing a smaller & smaller niche sport.

I doubt Canelo's tune up for Golovkin will be on PPV. It'll be regular HBO.

Canelo's stay busy fight will not air on PPV.

I mean, it's gonna be against Rosado FFS.

It might be if it's a split site PPv with golovkin co-main eventing..

I can see hbo PPv
New York- Golovkin vs Saunders or Eubanks , with roman gonzalez on indercard
Las Vegas/Texas/LA Canelo vs rosado, with maybe Estrada on the undercard..

Sets up roman-Estrada 2 for the summer and canelo/GGG in the fall..

Only way I can see it on PPv

True. GGG vs. Canelo on Cinco de Mayo weekend would do numbers. Pac v Crawford is a toss up and Kov v Stevenson is an unknown. Even so, they're marketable matchups that can get people excited if promoted properly.

Good reply, I really don't disagree at all however when it comes to the UFC, the reason why they would be good with selling 400K is also because they have Big Fox TV Deal on top of the fact that their fighters really don't make big money besides a few of their Top Draws
