Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Broner Produces $6 Million Gate, 11,410 Tickets Sold

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

A lot of consumer peasants bought that suck a** card. Not even worth watching for free on you tube. The average price of tickets was 550$? 6,000,000 / 11k is 550ish.

Brought in more money than Floyd's Japanese event. Pac also made more than double what Floyd made. Floyd don't want that two-armed smoke in the rematch.

the only smoke is the smoke pac blew up everyone's ass with that lame shoulder excuse and saltwater cure.

Floyd is retired and making money. That fight wasn't even sanction you are comparing apples to oranges.

Let's do some simple math, since you seem to have trouble here.

The take on the US PPV, assuming the public information is correct, is going to be near $15m. The tickets sold for the live event brought in $6m; venue rent, insurance, etc, and the net on the live event was likely near $5m (assuming they got nothing for hosting the fight in Las Vegas). ITV just signed a long-term deal with PBC and this was the first major US event to be broadcast for the deal; the ratings are whatever, but you seem to not get that the fight was free-to-air and on a fee in the UK. And then you have that giant Philippines sponsorship in the center of the ring (for more money than Corona typically offers).

On just what we can guess at for sure, the total is well over $20m, and that's before you start counting the the smaller revenues (PI/Polish/Mexico/Canadian/etc TV rights, merch, other event sponsors, etc).

Even if you pull $2m to cover the undercard purses and everything else (Badou Jack fought for $500k, so there goes that lie), the event cleared more than enough to cover the guarantees owed, via the commission and even the "undisclosed" one.

Badou Jack did not go from fighting Adonis Stevenson for $1 mil to 500k that is a lie. That is what was on the commission report. You also didn't figure in Browne's purse or the rest of the undercard.

You have no idea how much Pilipintas paid just like you have no idea what Corona pays. That is a guess on your part.

This event as many have stated sold closer to 300k units. Showtime had previously stated they hoped to do 500k units but that being stated they knew with Manny's high minimum they would probably lose money on this event. They plan on getting that back on the next fight vs Floyd

Quote, "While his ability to move a PPV event remains intact, producing a booming live gate remains another story. Pacquiao remains third only (13,000+) to Mayweather and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez among athletes to produce the biggest live gates in Las Vegas both this decade and of all-time."
While this may be true in Las Vegas, Pacquiao produced a live gate of over 50,000 in Texas against Clottey.

Not true at all. The 50,000+ figure was the announced crowd on fight night, but in reality the total crowd (including more than 5,500 comps) was just under 42,000. Paid crowd was just shy of 37,000, producing a live gate of roughly $6.4 million.

As chief support, in a final eliminator to a fresh title shot, do you honestly think that Badou Jack got a million dollars for that? lol. The disclosed purses added up to just over a million dollars, in case you didn't look.

In the hubbub around the rights for the Mayweather-Pacquiao, there was an article written about the bidding war between Tecate and Corona, with the article stating that the Corona bid was already three times what Floyd would usually be able to get for the center logo placement. Simple math puts that at $1.75m; even if you assume that that was at a premium to Manny, but that'd still be $1m-$1.5m. A quick Google search will let you see the story too.

If you want to now say that the event did 300k instead of 400k, come out and say it, lol.

did u compare the bidding war from May-Pac to Pac-Broner??? Lmaoooooo I can’t stop laughing. Lmmmaaaaoooo. Holy shiznit.

Dude u make me laugh so hard. I doubt corona cares too much they missed out on this one. Hell showtime gets more views and is better advertising than Pac-Broner was lol.

Simple math doesn’t put that as for Pac-Broner at 1.75 mil. Lololol that’s your made up number. Badou got over a million. It’s posted in several places. Stop being a sucker that goes by the commission number. Badou didn’t get his pay check cut by more than 50%. Just look it up.

The event lost money. It’s not your money bro. Let it go bro. U will be ok. So will Haymon. He expected to lose money on this.

First of all, why are people trying so hard to prove that the PPV was a flop? They were two world class boxers in a real boxing match. If you're a real boxing fan you'd be happy for the success of the event since it shows that boxing is still alive, healthy, and relevant. Some of the arguments here make it seem like ya'll want boxing to fail. Why? Are you really a boxing fan? I'm happy they did 400k buys. I'm glad they got paid. Who cares if the network and those involved didn't get their "equal" share, the fighters did, and that's what matters.

Boxing fans should support real boxing events instead of crapping on them. It's sad when some of ya'll would rather cough up $100 to pay for a novice vs. boxer match, while crapping on a real boxer vs. real boxer PPV.

No, I'm saying that the article on the Corona/Tecate bidding war for Mayweather-Pacquiao let it be known that Floyd was selling the centre-ring sponsorship for his fights for roughly $1.75m each fight.

Pacquiao's a lesser star than Floyd, but if Floyd was getting $1.75m for his centre-ring beer sponsor, Pacquiao should've been able to sell his own centre-ring sponsorship for north of $1m to a beer sponsor.

If the beer sponsor was outbid, logic will tell you that that PI group paid well in excess of $1m for such placement.
