Rick Glaser has spoken lol confirms Spence vs Garcia tracking over 300K PPV buys. Says official numbers will come out Friday. Both Coppinger and Glaser saying it will at least do over 300K
Interesting, Spence-Garcia PPV numbers being floated around to the media are in the real vicinity, unlike Richard Schaefer's statement to the media on Friday "It's tracking at a one million PPV buys" That Schaefer statement was laughable! I won't have an official number till Friday, but my calculations are showing easily over 300,000 PPV buys, and maybe as high as 340,000. It's an excellent number if you solely take into account that it was both Errol and Mikey's first time as headliners on a PPV. On the flip side, the number isn't very good and should have been higher because Fox really hyped the event on every Fox Platform, and I mean every Fox Platform, including Fox News. Coupled with a lot of shoulder programming that Fox provided, the number should have been a lot higher. Hurting the PPV number were two things, huge college basketball games on Saturday night, leading off March Madness, and a huge live crowd that were in attendance, 47,000 attendees. If a fight in Vegas brings 18,000 for a huge event, that means 29,000 more people bought tickets to this event than normal, and out of those 29,000, 15,000 would have bought the PPV, which is 5% of the total PPV buys, that's pretty significant. We'll get the real number, more than likely on Friday, and will have it up here as soon as I have it from my TV industy source.
