    Report: Spence Garcia does 360,000 buys

    ESPN via Dan Rafael is reporting that Spence Garcia did 360,000 buys.

    Dan was saying it was trending towards 400,000 buys, which is an amazing number for to up and coming fighters, esp after the PPV bubble burst 2 years ago.

    What a moment for PBC, between Wilder/Fury, Manny/Broner, and this box office return, the organization is the undisputed king of boxing.

    Nobody is generating more money, other networks might be spending more money like(cough cough ESPN and Dazn) but nobody is breaking the bank like Haymon right now.

    All DAZN and ESPN have proven, is that they can spend money.

    PBC meanwhile puts butts in seats, sells tickets, and PPV's, the biggest, the most lucrative boxing business on the planet.

    AJ might fill stadiums, but the tickets, and his PPV prices, cannot touch the US market.

    You can bet Manny's next fight will be PPV, as will Wilder's after he cancels that bum on May 18th.

    Spence is PPV worthy clearly, and he will be back this summer, that will give them the 5 biggest shows of the last calendar year.

    Say what you want about Haymon, PBC, the business model, the lack of competitive fights, there has been cause for concern.

    But between mayweathers last 4 fights as a professional, and all the talent Haymon has driven down the chute since he launched the company, it's safe to assume he has doubled the initial Series A round investment, and is headed to B level funding, would not surprise me at all if he is considering an IPO, esp as his younger fighters start to come of age.

    PBC reigns supreme, and it's driving everyone crazy!

    Crazy that these small guys made more than Wilder.

    Tells you how little people take to Wilder in the U.S. they just don't seem to like him at all

      Surprisingly good numbers. I didn't think anyone was going to buy such a mismatch.
      I'm actually disappointed that people are reading the promoters for that bs.

        Are these numbers from the same night? Or this count the extended period?

        Still decent numbers though. But you can clearly see spence is not PPV star yet.

        He is on the right path.

        And btw what a bunch of propaganda at the start

          Good point. DAZN spends a lot of money while the PBC actually makes money.

                Learned a very important lesson many years ago.

                What sells tickets (and PPV) is the fans' imagination. Doesn't matter if a fight is a mismatch or is going to suck. Do you have a storyline that will cause fans to imagine outcomes they consider can't miss?

                Even if intellectually we know the good big man beats the good small man 99% of the time, Mikey was so confident. This secret ***** in the armor he'd discovered. What could it possibly be? What was this weakness he discovered? Can Mikey do what Mosley did jumping two classes?

                You also has Fox pushing this thing like crazy. Like literally six hours a day on FS1 and six hours a day on FS2 for six weeks.

                ****, even I knew Mikey had no chance and Fox got me so excited I bought the fight! Granted, I split it with a couple buddies, but it's still the first fight that's going to be on my cable bill since maybe Lewis vs. Tyson?

                  Very good numbers. I think Mikey brought in the majority of the fans so I don't think Spence-Porter does as many buys as this one even though its a way better matchup.

                    Pretty good numbers in my opinion for a supposed mismatch
