Any word of the Canelo-Khan ppv numbers?

[Larry the boss]

It just isnt a day on Boxingscene unless someone is offering to meet Larry for a fight

haha he certainly brings that out in people lol

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.

Not sure where you're located but I assume the US? I wish we had the UK model honestly with a Skysports or Box Nation channel we paid for monthly or whatever. They get the fights built into those fees..even at $10-15 a month that's $120 to $180 a year for everything..not bad if there's 4-5 PPV fights a year.

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.

There probably is, tbh. Still, as things currently stand, it seems to take 10-14 days for everyone involved to feel confident enough in the numbers that are coming in to lay out a projection for the event.

Just to bring up the point, the initial Mayweather-Pacquiao projection was 4.4m PPV buys, the number was over 4.6m PPV buys by November (http://www.boxingscene.com/hbos-taff...uys-pac--97976), and is likely well beyond that now.

ODLH-Mayweather, from the initial projection to the reported final tally, picked up 300k PPV buys.

which part of the USA do you reside

i am connected all over

What's your tale of the tape?

I respek that you're calling Larry out in the ring, nothing wrong with that...but what did Larry do/say to get you this fired up? It didn't seem like Larry was beefing with you or following you around, calling you out, mentioning your name or any sort of that e-thuggery stuff, so what happened?

Even if PBC is successful beyond their wildest dreams, I still think the PBC model would have PPV; the PPVs would simply be limited to just the true superfights between stars for fights that simply can't be financed behind TV.

The payout for Thurman-Porter will give everyone an idea of what the current ceiling is for pay in the PBC orbit, but the only PPV fights I see coming (in the PBC world) are Wilder-Fury, Wilder-Joshua, Stevenson-Ward, and possibly Golovkin-Jacobs (I think that you can finance Stevenson-Kovalev with the amount of money being put up for the US TV for Thurman-Porter and Canadian PPV).

40 minutes of available commercials time, for live-run sports content in primetime on terrestrial TV (if the audience proves itself) and a good gate gate tally from fighters being established in home arenas has the potential of putting a ton of money into the pot.

His face pisses me off.

I'm tired of him bullying other forum members, its time he picked on someone his own size.

We can settle it with gloves or slugs, either way, he's out of the game.

Let it be known then
