You a psychologist now? The only thing you could ever earn a PHD in is disappointing women.

I haven't disappointed your mother ever! I know you have a PhD in rectal abuse though.

Not directed at you, but, I am curious as to how we got so many ppv revenue and in general boxing business experts in here? I think it's more safe to say that no one here really knows wtf they are talking about.

speaking for myself, I promoted shows for over a decade, and co-promoted numerous events on ESPN, Showtime, HBO, and HBO PPV, all of which I had access to the budget and financials, so I think I may have a general idea of what I'm talking about.

Maybe not though. I probably need to upload an old-school black and white avatar before Im considered "credible".......

They fought in Pontiac Michigan not Detroit. I went to that fight. Roc Nation is based on New York. Main Events is based in New Jersey. The largest concentration of Russians in the US are in New York. You also have 10 million people you don't have to convince to fly out to the desert and get a room for the weekend. You take advantage of the biggest media market in the US. It's much easier to get casuals on New York than it is to get them to fly to Vegas for the weekend

Fans don't care about Roc Nation, Jay Z doesn't even care about Roc Nation, so he wouldn't even used his name to promote this card, he never does. Boxing fans are not going to say 'oh Ward vs Kovalev are fighting in NY, and it's a NY and NJ promoter card. Nobody sees that, they see the fighters. The fight would've bombed in NY. It actually did the best it could do, considering it wasn't in Oakland or Russia

Well, to be credible, you would have to show some sort of proof....I'm sorry if I don't just take some guy on the internets word for it

In Russia, kovalev had to walk around and try to sell tickets for his own fight. So no, it wouldn't have done well there either. This was a true boxing fans fight, the casual fan doesn't know enough about the sport to have wanted to buy it....imo anyway.

I think that because Kovalev was fighting Ward, the fans would've gotten up for that fight as opposed to Kovalev vs Chilemba which let's face it, that would be a hard sell anywhere
