Pacquiao vs Broner Tracking Over 400k Buys

[killakali]

Al Haymon made the guarantee, not Showtime. And he did it to lure Pacquiao to PBC. Networks are only involved in PPV events as distributors to cable & satellite companies. Little risk for the networks involved in PPV fights.

This right here is the key. I wonder what the network guarantee was here. I'm guessing the numbers that were reported or a bit more and the rest is on Haymon? Obviously there are other revenue streams but the remaining money will some from Haymon.

Espinoza isn't going to agree to no $20 million guarantee here knowing damn well it isn't getting to 700k+ buys.

espinoza didn’t guarantee anything. He doesn’t have to

Better than Canelo/Smith and around the same number as Canelo/Khan.

Interesting

i heard canelo khan did almost 600k. Wouldn’t call that around the same number.

And to think Pac-Bradley did almost 900k ppv buys and rematch almost 800k....

It was 460k. Remember Jake who used to write for this site? He reported it as 460k and Eric Gomez eventually admitted it

I was just joking with you, but I've been saying this for a while. Set the over/under at 350k. Still will be surprised if it does over 400k buys though. Think it will set just at 400k or close to it.

Espinoza is a realist, I doubt he thought this fight would do crazy numbers or anything. With Pac's purses of course you have to prepare to use some of your budget money on the fight.

i think 400 as well. As for espinoza he has no risk. Just like when Pac-Bradley 3 bombed. Arum took the loss liken haymon in this case. Hbo didn’t take any loss. Just collect their percentage. Haymons end game is Mayweather rematch.

nothing new here... pac still can average 500k when matched up with these younger guys... mofos aint gonna pay for shiiet like pac vs horn, pac vs jesse vargas, pac vs algieri, yall get the point!! pac vs spence, danny g, porter, mikey g, thurman, loma, crawford will do around 500k give or take a few k.

We don't know what was guaranteed or not. How else would a network ever lose money if they make no guarantees? There is a number this PPV had to hit to cover the expenses for the network.

[Douché Williams]

That means Pac is the biggest draw in the game.

Networks absolutely take some risks on the PPVs. It depends how the deal is agreed upon but go listen to Evan Rutkowski's podcast about when PPVs fall short of networks expectations if there is a certain sum of money they guarantee on their end. This leads to taking money from their boxing budget.

Find it funny that no one talks about the Asian market and all the markets that have filipino OFW's in it guess what they all buy Pac's fights (go to Hong Kong/Macau when its a Pac fight for instance).

400k in the US means it made money period. This is why Pac dumped Arum so his promotion company wouldn't have to share overseas income with them.

PBC/May promotions are getting that 400k side Pac is getting the overseas portion.

lmao. Manny has a 20mil guarantee. Most is from the USA. Mayweather Promotions collected a fee to coordinate the event. There wasn’t 20 mil from Asia. Sure manny takes the Philippine money but show us the link he didn’t take the US money. That’s the most nonsense I ever heard.

Especially for a fight that took place in the AM in Asia.

If the Asian money was awhat a Manny got he could have done the fight in Asia’s and got more money for doing itnin ptimentime and sold the American rights to DAZN and not gave PBC Arum or anyone a dime.

And he could have had every single ppv slot for his own guys. Nice try though.

everywhere I look I see close to 600k. If it was inflated wouldn’t u think there is a good chance these numbers are a little inflated too?

On the other hand who would have thought soft spoken Tim bradley would double Broner’s numbers?
