Hearn: Manny not a PPV attraction without Mayweather; Predicts 400-600k PPV buys

Thanks. Another question about UK slang I want to know. What does MBE mean? Frampton, Froch and a couple other fighters have that behind their name on Twitter

It's one of several awards handed out for "service" in certain areas.

I was wondering why Tyson Fury didn't have one

[-Kev-]

Damn Cotto vs Peterson, first time I read that

That's crazy, every fanbase is getting hit with some BS by their fighter. First Canelo fans with Khan. GGG fans poked fun, GGG ridiculed Canelo, then did it himself with Brook. Now Cotto is doing it. Dudes don't want to fight each other or fight the next best fighters in a higher division anymore. Now they're looking down for opponents

Mayweathers' exit is a huge loss for the sport. I don't follow boxing as much anymore due to the fact that everyone is ducking everyone. Boxing was a sport that pitted the best vs the best. All that is gone now. The only fight worth watching is Ward vs Kovalev that's it. Boxing needs someone to fill the void Mayweather left. Even that kid in the olympics, Shakur is no good. Boxing is done

400-600K is still one of the biggest attractions in the sport.

I messed up the title. It's 400-600k for Brook/GGG

So many people just read the title and comment

400-600k PPV buys for GGG-Brook not for Pac-Vargas

• Showtime making all the moves in boxing. HBO doesn't have the budget for boxing. Crawford v. Postol shouldn't have been on PPV.
  
• Pacquiao v. Vargas isn't a big fight. Manny needs to fight superfights
  
• Peterson v. Cotto is a joke. He didn't put Kell in with Peterson because he would've gotten stick (what does this mean?) Peterson is a career 140lber just moved up to 147 and now moving up to 154 to fight Cotto.
  
• Vargas is a good fighter but got no profile. Brook has no profile in America. That was the problem with making the Vargas-Brook fight
  
• Predicts around 400-600k PPV's
  
• Quigg Frampton did horrible numbers because it was a trade fight (hardcore fans???) This is not a trade fight

BONUS: RIPS FAT DAN FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT HAVING TABLES FOR PRESS ROW

600k PPV buys, at roughly $30 per PPV, puts the top projected number for the PPV at about $18m, or just over $10m available to the fighters once Sky Sports and Eddie Hearn take their cuts. You add in a decent guess at the live gate net proceeds, and you're budgeting a ceiling of maybe $14m for the entire event.

deduct out the cost of actually putting on the show, the payout for the undercard, and other promotional expenses, and some of these guesses about the fighter's guarantees are wildly optimistic.

[Scipio2009]

if manny makes anything between 400k-600k will beat canelo's numbers vs smith

At the price of Pacquiao's guarantee, if that's the number, Top Rank loses it's ass on another Pacquiao fight, lol.

[Spoon23]

Lol

Floyd's last fight wasn't with Pac..

Berto was it?

how did that go?

HAHAHAHA

ALMOST DID A BRADLEY ROLL COURTESY OF AN OLD HAS BEEN BERTO LMAO

400-600K is still one of the biggest attractions in the sport.

If Pacquiao ended up doing 400k-600k, depending on how the event were priced, you're talking about $20m into the net pot. Add in the proceeds from the live event, deduct all expenses, pay the opponent, and pay Pacquiao, and Top Rank ends up on the short end of another PPV
