Ward-Kovalev II PPV buys trending around 130k

[-PBP-]

130,000 people witnessed history. The signature win of Boxing's new p4p king 👑

You're leaving out the provider cut. Comcast, Direct TV, ect. They get 7.5%

no they dont, they get 40-50%, depending on what was negotiated. HBO as the producer/distributor would be the ones who take a 7.5% taste.

But all you Boxingscene accountants are forgetting about the live gate/site fee, and overseas rights, which probably adds another $2 million and change to the pot. (was just over $3 million last time)

So as much as it hurts your feelings, Kov is not getting only 700k. When the smoke clears he should get somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million. Obviously he didnt do as well as Ward, but then again not many non-PBC fighters have a promoter willing to lose millions of dollars.....

TBH, I don't think that these numbers have to do much with Floyd.

This fight, with this kind of promotion was never to going to do more than 150k buys.

From 6:00, spot on. Hearn knows his stuff.

This is the first time I've heard Hearn speak at length, I dig him. He does appear to know his stuff.

Why can't you answer the question? Thurman is in the P4P top ten, and he's not PPV material. Crawford is P4P and he failed. There are no active American PPV fighters besides Ward and these are his first 2 PPVs against a guy who was never a draw either.

Beyond America, Pac isn't a draw anymore. Golovkin did similar numbers to Ward. You bitter dudes who have been wrong about him repeatedly want to discredit him any way you can, but who else is doing better right now? The only active boxer selling PPVs in the us right now is a Mexican.

Only PPV guys out there are Canelo and Joshua IMO.

Joshua vs Klitschko did 1.5mil buys in UK last time I read.

Canelo is Canelo.....

Mayweather is gone...

GGG is just not there, if he pulls of a win with Canelo then perhaps I can see him become a name but isn't he talking retirement already?

I honestly think Lomachenko can become a PPV star if he continues doing what he does...I have had people who only know Mike Tyson as far as boxing goes at the work (office) tell me "Hey you seen this Lomachenko?"

I've had friends girlfriends actually stay to watch Lomachenko fights because they found him exciting...

America's best best for a PPV guy is Crawford, and I don't see why not.

Yep, I had it backwards. Either way that pecentage was left out

The standard breakdown as far as money is concerned is a 10% fee off the top for the distributor, with 45% each for the cable system and the promoter. So when you see a price tag on a fight, you know that the promoter will get about 45% of that.

Let’s say a fight is priced at $49.95, which for the sake of simplicity we are going to round up to $50. If it’s HBO PPV that is being used, HBO is not a party that is at risk as far as the fight itself is concerned but will take the 10% fee off the top ($5). The promoter and the cable companies both wind up with $22.50 per “sub” (or subscriber).

ward

too lowwwwwww

[Hatesrats]

Its better than 97k doe...
(Ward da A-side)

[littlemac]

Dang, that means Kovalev will end up getting a bill instead

[MrRolltide91]

Yes he would.

Both floyd and manny would sell against a top p4p fighter.

Put them against thurman, spence, crawford, and canelo/ggg winner


At least 800k to 1.5 million

Arum loses when Lomachenko fights. And according to you most promoters lose money on shows.
