Rick Glaser at it again says Wilder PPV # is lies. Did 278K buys

[The Big Dunn]

It's better than 97k, thats for sure

Ouch. Was that really necessary? Lmfao!

[man down]

So much wrong with this post.

On par with some of the worst UFC cards? No, there have been multiple UFC cards in the 100k range this year and some in the low 200s.

Four PPVs broke the 1 million mark the last 18 months. Great, those four PPVs involved Canelo/McGregor/Mayweather. Those are literally the biggest stars in the game right now.

Cotto/Margarito outsold it? WOW!!!!!! Cotto one of the biggest draws of his generation that did over a million PPV buys like four or five times in his career??? That Cotto??? What a shame that a fight involving him out did Wilder/Fury.

So are you going to ignore how much the fight would have generated in the UK and the live gate? If it took place in Vegas as expected, it would have done over $10 million at the gate, would have done close to, if not surpass a million PPV buys in the UK, made ton in international revenues/sponsorships and would have done close a million PPV buys. It didn't need to do 1.4 million to get Joshua his $50 million.

It was expected people like yourself were going to dog the numbers of this fight.

Im not going to disagree or argue with you. But you do know UFC has a TON of PPVs per year right?

Glaser is best taken with a pinch of salt, right?
I remember reading an interview in which he said that he sends out emails asking people if they will be ordering a PPV as part of his process.

I have no real idea how reliable he his, but in NSB terms...he's a good source if he's talking good numbers for a guy you like, or poor numbers for a guy you dislike.

They do, I believe 10-12 a year. However, that still doesn't matter that I was wrong with what I said.

Just some buy rates from 2018:

UFC 221 130,000
UFC 222 260,000
UFC 224 85,000
UFC 225 250,000
UFC 227 300,000
UFC 228 130,000
UFC 330 250,000

So tell me where I was wrong? On par with some of the worst UFC cards? In what way? Really didn't need to mention UFC 227 as that is comparable to the Wilder/Fury PPV, but you get my point.

If i'm a promoter and I am going to lie about numbers i'm going to bump it up by a heck of a lot more than 50K, makes no sense

Theres absolutely nothing wrong about my post, you just disagree.

We are not talking about how much it WOULD HAVE generated in the UK or Vegas. We are talking about how much WILDER DID generate in LA in his PPV without AJ, and it's not impressive reading. AJ MUST be the draw if he was going to make $50m to Wilders $12m for this fight v Fury.

[bigdunny1]

IIRC, Lou Dibella reported him and got his account banned. He would always go after Dibella for "stiffing" him of like $7,500 bucks or something lol.

Really? lol but that makes sense then why he talks so much shyt about Lou Dibella.

I was just thinking that. But surely Showtime didn't expect to get GLASED

"On par with some of the worst UFC cards"

How exactly is that not wrong when I backed it up with facts and showed cards just THIS year that have done much worse numbers?

Now all I can think of is Chisora when Haye hit him with that bottle, "He glassed me, mate!"
