That is clear of course, however, TR recently paid a ****load of money to Crawford and will soon pay a ****load of money to Loma. I simply cannot imagine these numbers justify these purses.

Crawford-Indongo was subsidized partly by the interest in the fight from Sky Sports (which likely had to pay a premium on top of what BoxNation would get simply for the extra content for their channel) so that's not a clear example, but the Lomachenko-Rigondeaux numbers will be interesting to see.

Arum messed up in not putting the fight into the big room at MSG, but the 5500 seats have been sold out for the show for weeks now (with the tickets priced at the market).

Good revenue at the gate, plus whatever they are getting for the tv, and we should get a better idea of what's being worked with

A tin ear for ****ty satire I guess; oh well. The UFC simply sets the mark for what you should expect for an event-level ticket. If Ramirez was really a star, he'd be able to sell ringside seats at $300 and still pack in his building ($300/$150/$75/$50 would actually make sense).

Yeah you must be one ****** mother****er! No one is talking about UFC but you. Why are you even comparing them in any way??
This is a boxing forum you dumb ****!
But why are you still swingoing off my nutts?? Are you a fa ggot??

Top Rank on Espn is getting more viewership than most Ufc on Fs1 cards so why shouldnt they pay a little more than Ufc ? I actually think they pay around the same overall but the top rank cards only have a couple televised fights and so the large majority of the money goes to those fighters. Top rank is taking over the game again. Cant wait for loma rigo

Can anyone explain how they cover the purses with such a low viewership? Joshua did 2.3 million in Germany against Takam and it was considered as so so. Abraham did 5-6 million at his peak and got paid 1 mio USD per fight. At the end of his career he did hardly 3 million and was basically dropped from free tv. I wonder how 1.2 million is considered a good number for a country four times as big as Germany.

umm.. Because boxing isnt a top sport in the U.S. pretty well known. About how does top rank pay fighters? Idk im not a fanager, just a boxing fan who loves the entertainment. Thats really a question for the the promoter. Im sure you can find their email address if you NEED to know such things

[Steven Mccowan]

Great numbers for this level of card. Hopefully it keeps growing

I watched this card instead of HBO. Glad to see so many others did as well.

Marquee events sell ringside/cageside seats for $300-$400.

The most hilarious part about your internet tough guy routine is the I know I'd beat the everliving dog**** out of you if our paths actually crossed and, in your heart, you know that you'd get the everliving dog**** beat out of you. Lol

Hes gonna come back with the average gas price divided by the miles he'd have to travel divided by his MPG rating and say it would be easier to meet halfway and both of you take the bus there.
