Comments Thread For: Fonfara-Smith PBC on NBC Sees Increase With 1.32M Rating

[Kigali]

Those are bad numbers. I enjoyed the card. On a positive note it seems like a lot of tickets were sold to this card although Fonfara never had a problem being a draw in Chicago.

You guys are going to worry yourself to death about these dam "investors". Since when did y'all start caring about how much the investors make?? If I'm a fighter I'm going to where there's the biggest audience and the best pay.. Forget what you bloggers who never won a fight thinks. Fonfara Vs. freaking Joe Smith just did 1.32 million views.. If it was on HBO that fight wouldn't crack 700k..This is a WIN for the boxer no matter how you spin it. Why should we be concerned with how much these rich people making?

If they're not crying about fighters being "overpaid" they're on the rag about investors.

[Kigali]

Because those rich people decide whether or not this continues. If they keep losing money they will pull the plug. Furthermore them constantly losing money doesn't give much confidence to other rich people(TV networks) to buy this product and give them a deal. That's why it's important for this to be better executed and to perform better than it has. Your thought process is too short term and you, and a lot of others on here, can't see the bigger picture.

As if you care...you seem to be eager for it to fail...for some weird reason.

How do you KNOW they're losing money?..

You don't...just wishing and dreaming.

As long as they attract sponsors and the ratings keep doing well...you'll be kicking rocks with your head down....as usual.

[Kigali]

Stop being so pathetic man. This outfit has lost hundreds of millions of dollars with literally nothing to show for it aside from dwindling ratings. Terrible idea, terrible execution. Anyone trying to rationalize it is ******ed.

We're not talking about HBO

[Kigali]

a product that isn't ran by a black person (not my thinking, but his from the sounds of it)

^^^look at this ****** mother****er, lol

says the dumb motherphuker who says no way Haymon gave away half the tickets in the Danny Garcia fight and fought it tooth and nail. then finally provided his own high estimate of the ticket prices that were sold but who too ****** to realize that even his own numbers proved my case. Take a L haymon nut rider. By your own logic he gave 6K of the 12k attendance for Danny Garcia away. Still upset because LA Times proved what media, rival promoters, and fans were saying all last year. That PBC can't sell tickets and are forced to give most of them away for free. PBC will never release the live gate figures for any of these fights for a reason Bytch boy because they ain't seen no money from tickets sales with inflated attendance figures.

500k live gate based on the ticket prices they sold = ONLY 5k or 6k tickets using your own math. So how the phuk did they have 12k fans in attendance for the Garcia fight? Because they literally gave HALF the tickets away for free.

Please let's keep this going it's fun for me exposing your h0e azz.

The comped tickets for Garcia-Guerrero were likely less than 5k tickets, more comps then a marquee fight should be putting out, but less that the bull**** number that you've been pushing yet quietly stopped mentioning once you started to look like an idiot. Even with that, i doubt that anyone was on the corner or on some website hawking tickets to the fight (most of the comps likely went to sponsors/local partners anyway).

Garcia-Guerrero sold over $500k worth of tickets, after Danny Garcia's last fight did over $1m for the Malignaggi fight at Barclays Cente (a venue that is becoming his home away from home).

The shows have been bringing in growing revenues at the gate, regardless of that reality running counter to your wishes; Thurman-Porter is this Saturday and the venue is already 80% sold out.

Fonfara-Smith Jr had a sizable paying crowd in the building, ad the shows placed in proper markets have had the crowds coming out to the venues.

I'll keep enjoying the fights, continue to watch towns rally around their fighters and good fighters coming in, and you'll continue to be a miserable ****. have a nice day

[bigdunny1]

OK dip shyt let's do this again how the phuk does the math work to where they gave less then 5k free tickets away? You have tried about 5 times and the latest crap you posted shows no more then 6k something tickets sold, yet the announced attendance was over 12k. So again please show us how you can have 7k tickets sold off a 500k live gate based on the ticket prices they had? Go a head and embarrass your self again. Here is a hint there is no way to make the math work. But glad you finally moving the goal post to a few ticket to now less then 5k tickets. LMAO

And how do you know 80% of thurman/porter have been sold? That's the point PBC does not release live gate figures something they would gladly do if they were really selling these tickets. Without live gate figures there is no way to prove the amount of tickets that are sold and the amount that has already been set aside to be given away for free. All we know is that the only live gate figures we know about according to LA times report says

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-...203-story.html

"A look at 10 major and minor Premier boxing shows staged in California and Nevada last year reveals that promoters paid $19.2 million in purses and state fees for those fight cards, while collecting only $3.9 million from fans at the gate, according to the states' records.

For last month's Garcia-Guerrero fight in Los Angeles, the fight card's purse totaled $3.2 million, versus only $508,620 in live-gate ticket sales."

According to that an avg 390k live gate per event. And just 508k a few months ago at dannys fight. Completely contradicting the bs and flip flipping out your haymon **** sucking mouth. These fights aren't coming close to sell outs with phony inflated attendance figures due to high volume of free tickets set aside each show. Live gate figures showing them avg less then 4k tickets sold but having attendance numbers more then double that? Meaning half those are free tickets you re tard.

^^^look at this ****** mother****er, lol

actually he is right. I bought two tickets to guerrero vs garcia and felt like the biggest sucker. Two of my friends got 4 tickets each for free. I was pissed. They dumped off a bunch of tickets to the local gyms here in LA and gave away about half the tickets of the total attendance.

They do this all the time. They gave away almost every ticket to the devon alexander vs aaron martinez fight in phx. it was well documented on twitter by the pissed off local promoters who rely on selling tickets to build their local fighters. I have seen people talk about getting free tickets to most of the chicago shows and all the erislandy lara shows which isn't surprising.
