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

[Boxfan83]

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.

But yet TC is about as popular if not more popular than Thurman and Porter... Problem with PBC is the same viewers that pay for HBO are the same that watch the big fights on PBC. The same viewers that view FS1 are the same hardcore fans that have watched free boxing on Telemundo and Telefutura for years. And the 62k that viewed TC vs Postol all probably have an account on boxingscene. If you dont get my point, boxing (all networks) have failed (including pbc) to appeal to casuals.

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.

Alright so maybe they'll top out at 2.5m. In your all roses scenario. Those UFC guys, don't they get paid peanuts on fox?

Uhhh... Thurman-Porter peaked at 4 million viewers.

Guerrero-Garcua peaked at 3.5 million viewers.

What was the peak for HBO boxing this year?

Again with this ****** comparison?

One on free tv and the other on Hbo plus on ppv...cant compare them...and of course, please tell us the source of all those numbers you are giving, so we can check it out.

Besides, you are comparing one of the cheapest pbc events against a more "known" event.

It was 1.3m+ for the Ggg Wade mismatch, but Hbo is in like 1/4 of the homes. Apples to apples is Hbo and Sho, and Hbo smokes them all the time, even prorated. What's Sho top rating this year?

[Motorcity Cobra]

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

Only the lower bowl was open. It's Vegas so you can still get a nice gate with only 6000 people.

If you are too ****** to know how these figures are generated... what can I do? LOLz

SHO is Garbage. They should go away too just like HBO.

CBS, FOX smoke HBOS peak viewership in multiples.

Isn't that even more pathetic that the cheapest PBC show got almost 3 times the viewership of a more "known" event?
