Why are fans so obsessed with PPV sales and attendance figures?

[Boxfan83]

Fans do have a sick obsession with numbers.

But fans have a bigger obsession with........OTHER FANS.


There are barely any threads about boxing. Nobody talks about straights, hooks and uppercuts. Every thread is dedicated to.....OTHER FANS.

And then again thats why I dont take NSB to seriously anymore. I only post legit stuff under training. Most of the guys in that section know what they are talking about, whether they are amateur, pro, or just daily gym ****.

Standard response from stax right here. Doesn't talk about the May-berto ppv numbers doe

why would i, it has nothing to do with how pac/ggg fans used to love talking numbers, until floyd blew him out the water

Floyd fans talk about ppv numbers because that was what Floyd would talk about nonstop. Don't try to rewrite history on this site. I've been here awhile bud.

cut it out man.. you know damn well had GGG/Jacobs done 800K buys you would've been happy as a mofo and making threads about why GBP needs to pay him more than $15 million.

PPV numbers basically tell you the drawing power of the headliners. how much crossover appeal they have. these numbers are then thrown around in negotiations to justify purse split.

I dont celebrate when PPVs flop like many on here because I know it wasn't the quality of the match. it's just a lack of crossover star power.

but don't be pretending you don't care now just because GGG had poor numbers.

This is another "leave Gennady alone" thread. I've seen a lot of these desperate attempts to insult the fans taking the piss out of Golovturds the last few days.

Can someone explain? Thought I was on a boxing forum not the financial Times. If the guy wins in the ring, do you have to find some other way to try and discredit them? Is it some mind of moral victory for you? Does it vindicate your hatred for said fighter?...

GGG is not a draw, deal with it.

[BlakBread904]

Something to with the fact they're trying to wind folk up am guessing, seems to be working.

this

these stans need every little bit of data to prove that their guy is superior/the other guy is inferior

why care about what's going into the other man's pocket aside from the context of fights being made or not

[SensFullViolenc]

I agree that folks are too obsessed with PPV numbers etc.

But realistically, GGG IS NOT a big draw, at least not in comparison to Canelo.

I want the fight to happen, and I hope both dudes are well paid. The reality may be that Team GGG will need to take short $$$ to make the fight happen. Canelo has more leverage, especially if the rumors about this past weekend are true.

And if Canelo v. Jr does well, which it may.

But Im not on any of their teams and I will never see that money. I just want the fight to happen.

I mean Im probably what you would call a "Canelo hater" and generally a GGG fan, but I just want to see a good fight.

I also want to see all this 155 lb. lineal Middleweight champion BS to end and to have a full MW get a shot at the "lineal title". I mean, it could be Jacobs instead of GGG and Id be happy.

Its been since April 2013, FOUR freaking years, since a dude over 157 lbs has gotten a shot at "the lineal title". That's BS.
