Broner vs pac ppv buys?

ITV would have paid a certain rights fees for the fight. The PPV sales in the states don't impact that at all.

The PPV sales would definitely impact the boxing budget for SHO though. Anything less than their target amount and the money comes out of the budget. That's the most important reason it needs to do well.

As for sponsorships? It is more important fights on FOX do good numbers to attract sponsors than these PPV buys.

Espinoza said that if a ppv flops, it'll only affect their budget a little. Just like if they get a big success like Mayweather/McGregor, it won't increase their budget. It gets spread out among the CBS corporation ,

That depends on how far the PPV falls from their expectations/target. But Espinoza is super sharp and he doesn't just take unnecessary risks so I doubt the fight will have a huge impact on the budget, or THAT much more than they anticipated.

But let's say if it did only 200k buys? Then fair to say it would affect the budget more than just a "little" lol.

I put the over/under at 350k. Anything over 400k and that would be really really solid. I have some doubts on that. One thing I will say and not sure if this results in PPV buys or not, but the SHO youtube page for the weigh ins and other mini-documentaries did better for this fight than the Wilder/Fury fight. But the Wilder/Fury fight was trending more on twitter than this one. To me they seem like similar PPV fights. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the numbers are off only 25-50k.

SHO is no doubt taking money out of their budget to cover some of Pacquiao's purse. The $10 million is just guaranteed, but supposedly he is set to make $20 million and that falls more in line in what Hearn was saying after he met with Pacquiao's team. He said they are talking 20-25 million for their next fight and that is mad.

I wonder how they did in terms of live gate. Got 13k on Saturday, but obviously some will be comps and they did have to slash their prices the week of the fight. Another insanely priced event but all of Pacquiao's fights are.

agreed on all points. greened.

Very true. I guess the bright side is that they increased the budget a good deal this year, so the impact won't be felt too much.
