I agree with Dana. I still standby 5M+ buys.

Asked this in another thread, but anyone know what sorta things on YT have 300K+ people streaming it live like this presser did? Think that many streamed the actual fight of Manny vs Horn last week & this was just a f#cking press conference.

The press conference had like 200,000 people watching before it even started and peaked at over 300,000 and that was just on 1 youtube stream.

Brother you did hear them say they had to change the venue for one of the next 3 pressers to hold more people right lol?

This is people talking. They aren't even fighting yet & they got people wanting to come to see them talk above & beyond the capacity of the venue they have reserved. This fight is OFF THE CHARTS.

If this fight really grosses over $1 billion in total revenue, every single major sporting association needs to reevaluate their marketing and branding...I'm still processing the 300k YT views for a presser at 5pm ET
