Comments Thread For: Crawford-Khan Press Conferences Next Week; Venue Still Not Set

[Scipio2009]

lmaaooooooooooo

ITV money? How much? More than Sky money? Does UK care more about khan or Garcia or Spence. Lololol nice try. Wilder and fury has a Im fan base and is a way more valuable fight in uk.

Mikey already makes 3 mil a fight. U think he fights Spence for 3 guarantee lmaaaooooo u are high.

Jerry Jones isn’t putting up some huge site fee for this fight. It isn’t Pac-Margarito.

If you think Arum can’t make 10 mil to pay crawford and Khan but khan can give mikey at least a 4 mil and likely 5 mil and Spence a 4 mil guarantee for their ppv fight u are just ignorant and deeply biased.

$5m to Khan, $5m to Crawford, the costs related to putting on the event (venue, undercard, press tour, marketing, etc), and Arum is in the hole $12m-$13m, without a single penny going to Top Rank. Lol.

To clear $13m on PPV, the rule of thumb is to double for the gross; $26m. @$65/$75, you basically need 400k buys to breakeven.

The gate will likely help lower that number, as will the other TV rights and never streams, but you still can't forget that Crawford's last PPV fight did 50k buys, and the last time most folks saw Amir Khan, he was being put out by Canelo.

If you think Crawford-Khan does great business on PPV, come out and say it; hopefully you stand by your words this time.

i never said what kind of sales the ppv will do. U still don’t know what the ppv will cost or the tickets or even the venue lol. U don’t know how many ppvs it dies in the Uk. Keith Idec already said Khan is keeping all the uk ppv on top of the 5 mil so hes likely mking 6-7 mil which rios your theory to shreds.

mikey vs spence likely wont do even 200k buys.

khan is a much more known opponent than Postol was so this will do more buys than that fight did.

Any news on location of NYC presser tomorrow?

[tokon]

. . . he breaks all national non PPV/subscription only viewing records?

If that's correct, I didn't know that.

Khon is supposedly keeping the UK ppv from the Crawford fight; let's see how many buys it does. I think popularity is better gauged by how many people put their hands in their pockets than tuning in for free.

I agree with you on him having best active UK fighter resume but he's still deluded!
