PBC on FS1 avg. vs Crawford-Postol 62k buys

[PKing]

So PBC of FS1 averages 150,000 to 200,000 viewers while paying $150k in purses.

Crawford-Postol just did 62,000 buys with nearly $2 million in purses.

Yet somehow PPV is good for the boxing industry according to some idiots?

[Pigeons]

Boxing is interesting in the fact that the better the matchup, the less people see it. Prospects typically fight cable TV (most viewers), top fighters typically fight mismatches on HBO and SHO (less viewers), and the best fights are on PPV (least viewers, and the fights are typically boring).

Pretty ****ty situation for a pretty ****ty sport.

62k x $50= 3.1 mil,,, minus 50% to distributers leaves about 1.5 mil. Plus tickets sales and international rights, and sponsors this fight generated probably 3-4 million.

Does anyone know the ticket gate? Seemed to be a good crowd

Ppv is not good, it's necessary unless everyone is fine never making 2m+.

Wasn't Fnf doing 400k average with under 50k budget?

Ummm no.

Sponsorship didn't break $100k that is for damn sure. International TV would have been lucky to see $100k.

Live gate was under $800k. At most this fight generated $2.5 million in net for Top Ranks side. This was horrible viewership and exposure for boxing next star.

Great thing that PBC is changing that situation.

Thurman-Porter was a great example.

Sponsorships and international rights brought more than 200k combined

Ufc has a 94 million dollar network deal. Let's say PBC can get a 50 million deal. Ppv is not the answer, seeing if 5 million could be payed for say Thurman vs Garcia is the answer.

I doubt it. The fight had no way to generate lucrative rights fees in Mexico, UK, Germany etc. No international appeal.

Sponsors would be ****** to spend any significant dollars on the event seeing how small the audience was projected to be.

SBJ projects that FOX will pay $400 million a year starting in 2019.
