But we don't know if that is the case - maybe ROC Nation will be happy to pay him another 5 million. I don't see that but who knows.

people need to understand that just because the entire boxing world claims for a fight doesnt mean casuals will actually care, i wasnt expecting 200k for this fight, why is anyone surprissed with those numbers?? a fight itself can increase ppvs but you have to have at least 1 big name...

And boxing slowly continues to swirl down the toilet. To throw salt on the wound, the outcome of the fight wasnt correct either. Boxing is in a bad place folks. With all the pansy fighters and weak promoters sprinkled with corruption, it gonna take some real work to piece this sport back together.

And yeah, if it's 170k buys then it's a huge financial loss for the promoters.
And no, that's not all Pacquiao. Pacquiao/Vargas did twice the buy of Ward/Kovalev. VARGAS!
Meanwhile, Kell Brook brought in nearly a million fighting Lil G.
Even Glass Khan beat Ward/Kovalev PPV buys 2x after getting put to sleep by Canelo and Khan is absolutely no draw in the US.
Goes to show what people have been saying. Andre Ward, Sergey Kovalev...They're nobodies in today's boxing. Only boxing hardcore know who either of them are.
