Yet somehow some people here thinks HBO actually makes significant revenue from PPVs. If Ward-Kovalev does it'd projected 200,000 buys ($12 million in revenue)... HBO will literally see peanuts.

HBO was not the main network in that fight. Do you have any info on how much CBS made from that fight? It appears they didn't make much either considering they hardly produced fights for the rest of that year.

Don't forget that they're dealing with greedy boy Floyd.

Good on Floyd.

The point is that HBO nor Showtime make any serious money from PPVs.

Let's put that myth to rest.

only a Floyd fan would say good job Floyd when he walks across a bridge and then burns it down after him so no one else can cross. good job Floyd! boxing is dead but you got money so yay?

PPV supposed to supplement not be the main source of income for boxing. HBO uses boxing to get subscribers. The same way they use GOT to get subscribers. Boxing PPV is the only programming HBO can see an immediate profit from without relying on monthly subscriptions.
