LOL, he actually does sound like Trump here. And you can just imagine Trump in his voice saying this.
The buy rate ******, but at least the arena was full and had great energy just from watching it on TV.Comment

$10.5 million guaranteed in main event purses. Only $12 million in total PPV revenue before everyone takes their cut. Cable/Satellite providers getting their 50% off top so you're already down to $6 mil before it's broken up again.
I told ya'll that's why Bob was yelling Haymon's name after the fight. The numbers that night were not tracking well and Bob knew he'd gotten washed on this fight.Comment

150k is more than I thought it would do tbh. ESPN, Bob and Crawford himself did nothing to promote it.
ESPN talks about it for all of 1 week, Bob opens his mouth saying outrageous thing about a mismatch, Crawford doesn’t say or do enough to promote buys of his fights.Last edited by Biolink; 04-26-2019, 07:27 PM.Comment

Gate was probably close to the 2M range and may have gotten decent money from international revenue. Of course they likely lost money but not a HUGE loss, unless the UC fighters were getting big money.$10.5 million guaranteed in main event purses.

Who knows what the real guarantees were though.Comment

I remember Loeffler saying MSG is expensive to rent and they don't pay site fees.Comment

At least he's got the Jeff Horn rematch in his back pocket.
Seriously though no wonder Arum has been race baiting and acting so pathetic lately. He's ****ing desperateComment

Lmao. Cable and Satellite do not get 50%. Omg who the hell told you that. My best friend is Head of Accounting for a major cable company. They all make a flat $5 per buy.$10.5 million guaranteed in main event purses. Only $12 million in total PPV revenue before everyone takes their cut. Cable/Satellite providers getting their 50% off top so you're already down to $6 mil before it's broken up again.

50% lmao. God you guys just make up crap.
The network ESPN takes 50%. Top Rank gets other 50%.
ESPN pays for filing and distribution.
Top rank pays fighters, fees and venue.
Good lord you guys don’t know business at all.Comment
