Crawford - Postol reported at 62k buys.....

wasn't morales vs maidana on PPV? does anybody know how much did it do?

yess it was! But the undercard was loaded with James kirkland vs ishida, malignaggi vs jose cotto, robert guerrero vs michael katsidis

[-MAKAVELLI-]

thats pretty much what i expected

[VicariousVice]

Damn, worse than a Mighty Mouse PPV.

Now that's saying something.

What did everyone expect? Bob had anticipated losing money on this fight because HBO is trying to save money in their budget by passing on it, so the card was inevitably doomed to fail.

nah it would be too expensive. Loma Walters would be over 1.5 mil in purses as would Donaire and quigg. That alone is over 3 million plus the 2 million for crawford postol. You would be almost tripling the total purses but wouldn't triple the number of ppv buys

That's what's wrong with the sport... How is that card too expensive, when those types of cards happened all the time under don King.. The last notable ones were in the early 2000s.

Hopkins-joppy mw title
Mayorga-Spinks ww title
Ruiz-Rahman heavy title
Zab Judah

Or when he had the 4 heavyweight fights
Ruiz-Golata
Byrd-mccline
Rahman-Meehan
Holyfield-Donald..


Now boxing is struggling with money and popularity, we can't get decent cards

It should not have been a PPV in the first place, but that's the only way the fight would happen. Crawford wanted too much money for the fight.

Another shameless poster

How many times did you brag about GGG's 97k number? it's only getting worse for you.

This was a budget ppv with no promotion.

And how many posts have I seen by you mocking and crowing about GGG's PPV being a flop and a failure?

Stop spinning and face reality, coward.

Oh no, you just used his signature word. Coward.

It is from Glaser. The number is completely made up. The guy does not work in boxing and his only distant connection is Don King, who also no longer has the connections to know.

With that being said, its a reasonable guess lol

Oh how wrong you are. Rick Glaser is the go to man for everything boxing. Arum, Haymon, Hearn, Oscar etc all go to him for his wisdom and advice. Glaser is the nuts and bolts of the entire industry. He found Haymons investors for him. People claim it is the shadowy Haymon who runs the sport, but it is the shadowy Glaser who truly runs the sport.

He is the only person in this world who does not need thug life glasses, he has them built in.

I know why he uses that word so often. "The lady doth protest too much"
