Rate Espn ppv promotion skills

[DaBeastO]

Or that they simply can't with having the UFC PPV a week prior? I mean what are they going to do, spend weeks promoting this fight and not the other UFC PPV? Only so much time and effort you can allocate towards combat sports, and it is clear that the UFC is priority number one for ESPN.

I'm really interested in seeing the PPV buys for this fight though. I want to see if ESPN truly does help increase the number of buys or if that is just a myth? I've yet to see any data backing that up for the UFC PPVs, but maybe ESPN helps this PPV out greatly.

ufc is beating boxing. ESPN should just go all out with ufc. they won't because they have to prove they are the world wide leader in sports.

More likely that Khan asked for too much to put it on regular ESPN or even ESPN+. Word is Khan is receiving anywhere from 5-6M, likely closer to the latter, so you know Crawford will get getting around the same.

Now, they were supposedly willing to put Wilder on ESPN+ against Breazeale, and he was set to make 12.5M. So if that is the case, technically they could have put Crawford/Khan on ESPN+ as well, no?

No way crawford khan ppv does well enough to pay each guy that much, espn hasnt even started promoting it and crawford is no household name. In order to build interest you have to saturate the fighters daily on tv so fans gain interest and curiosity

What i suspect is top rank will just take money from other shows cutting the pay of lower level prospects to pay off khan and crawford. If this ppv does 300k buys it will be a success. Crawfords ppv history was a 35 thousand buys ppv right? All i know is it was so low nobody bought it other than people in Nebraska

Espn markets UFC more than top rank boxing.

Ufc is beating boxing but they cant nix boxing because they signed a long term deal with Top Rank long nefore they bought the rights to Ufc broadcasts.

So they are stuck with boxing, this is why they dont waste money on promotin boxing maybe they are hoping top rank isnt satisfied and they let top rank buy oit their contract for cheap or the amicably cut ties.

How could we know the answer to this before the PPV numbers come in?

I think 300k is unrealistic. Now, I didn't think Spence/Garcia would approach the 400k mark either, but clearly that promotion caught fire and FOX had a bunch of shoulder programming leading up to the fight. ESPN has done ZERO shoulder programming of note as of now. If it does close to 200k I think that will be a success. You may be able to come close to covering the purses of the main event fighters with 200k.

200,000 * 70 = 14,000,000/2 = 7,000,000 *.9 = 6,300,000
Live gate = ~1,500,000
UK buys 30,000 * 26 = 780,000/2 = 390,000
Sponsorship/International revenue ~2 million

That is the path way to at least get close to covering those two purses. I don't know how exactly UK PPVs work so I didn't even deduct the 10% of revenue that in the US that networks like SHO/HBO get. Of course you are still going to lose money on the event, but should both guys be getting around 6 million for this fight anyways? That's the risk you took putting this fight on PPV. The A-side UC fighters are all at least young so none of them will be commanding a million or even a 500,000 payday.

They should show a commercial for the fight during Highly Questionable. I'm pretty sure that's the only thing on ESPN that people watch.
