The figure is not low. It is about what I expected. I believe this number larger than what the Canelo/Smith PPV drew, in spite of what De La Hoya claimed. I also believe it is about same as the numbers that Pacquaio/Vargas drew in their PPV, in spite of what Arum claimed.
PPV is designed for boxers who are not just superstars in talent, but also superstars in popularity. Fans can choose not to believe this, but it is true. Neither Ward nor Kovalev are superstars in terms of popularity. Neither is any other active boxer. That is why no PPV featuring any active boxer will ever draw more than 500,000 PPVs.

these numbers are horrendous man. every successful PPV must draw in the casuals. i guess they weren't interested in the real life drago/creed matchup. .gotta go back to the drawing board. all PPVs afrer floyd/pac have underperformed..that fight was the death blow to the PPV platform, casuals were disgusted at the event itself and the aftermath of excuses, a $400,000,000 dud..the aftershocks are still being felt. .the last hope is ggg vs canelo, a knockout artist vs a fan friendly marketable mexican star, if that sht bombs then it's time to scrap PPV and just keep all fights on regular t.v.Last edited by TexasCowBoy; 11-28-2016, 08:23 PM.
