Any word of the Canelo-Khan ppv numbers?

[Tomjas]

post and discuss

Cotto-Canelo numbers werent confirmed for nearly 14 days but there were "rumours" that it did well

Hearing nothing at all about this one so .......

on a related note-why does it take more than an hour after a fight to count PPV sales? the **** is all digitized, how difficult could it be?

Largely because 1)people don't actually "purchase the PPV" until their TV bill comes after the event[with not all the folks who made the purchase actually ending up paying the bill] and 2)people actually purchase the event after the initial broadcast[whether it's the immediate replay of the event or on the day-after in some cases].

With 7 different systems to work through, and the onus on putting out a projection that tracks closely with what will be the final output, there's no incentive for anyone involved to go public before the info is better.

It was just odd to me that Floyd's final numbers came out so quickly.

Damn. Although if I was Khan the less people who seen me get flattened like he did the better.

If this number turns out to be correct can we quit acting like Khan is a huge PPV draw now please?

Or can we stop acting like Canelo is anything more than a middling draw himself even with his huge Mexican fan base...

PPV is dying and that's good..fk these mismatch fights that we have to pay $75 for...

I work in the cable industry and something about ratings and PPV numbers have always bothered me. I've worked sales, installation, line work, just about everything. I can call and have a customer's channel package changed (let's say add HBO) and it's instant. Their monthly bill also instantly changes. I can get a instant reading from the headend to the box. Comcast has a set top box that's always online. It tracks what you're watching and recommends shows for you. It's so advanced that if you can watch a show for 4 hours and nothing happens but if you get up for 5 minutes a screen saver will come on. There has to be a better way of tracking ratings than Nielsen.

Equals to the number of Cantards.

I don't think many are hyping Canelo as anything other then the biggest PPV guy in this post-Manny/Floyd era so far. Khan has been boasted as some huge PPV seller with 0 PPV buys on his resume.

I doubt PPV is dying, but I wish it was.

I suspect PPV will be around for the foreseeable future. At least the better part of the next two decades. Unless this PBC thing really takes off at some point anyway. And I suspect PBC could still pivot over to a PPV model themselves to insure they stay around in this business where the biggest money is still PPV money.
