So if someone you're cool with on here wanted to buy insurance would you give them the hookup with a nice Boxing Scene discount?Comment

From Glaser:
HBO saying today they are not going to announce a PPV buy number for Canelo-Khan, but we have the number, 332,000 buys and that is horrible, that's why the "no announcement"
I had predicted 325,000 so I only 7,000 off!Comment

Never understood why people thought Khan was this big draw. Canelo himself isn't doing over 500,000k without another big name. i dont think we would see numbers like Floyd and Pac did consistently anymore. Which might be good because there overpricing these ppvs, should lower this ****.Comment

If you believe this you'd also have to believe the 97k number his low number for Berto-Mayweather and his low numbers for Pacquioa-BradleyComment

Well the thing is, he's looking pretty good, since HBO will not release the numbers. They have to be terrible. When does HBO not release their PPV buys? When it absolutely bombs. Not looking goodFor what it's worth.....

It'll be a long time before PBC is in a situation where they have to go to PPV, which is how things should be, tbh.
Still, people are underestimating the scope of money in play; the UFC got $100m put on what's amounted to 30 shows per year and TUF, yet still kept 10-12 PPVs for themselves. Fox was unlikely to get McGregor or Ronda fighting on their channel, but imagine what they would've been ready to front for Cormier-Gustafson, Velasquez-Verdum or even Johnson-Horiguchi.
Haymon's PBC is going to give a broadcaster (likely Showtime/CBS) the opportunity to pick up most of the meaningful fights in boxing, with the risk of 1-3 of those shows being worth too much to be put on their channel instead of PPV.Comment
