Whats crazy is they didn't even really push anything extreme for Pac vs Thurman it was almost under-promoted compared to Spence vs Garcia, Spence Garcia was promoted more because these were two unknowns so it shows you they know what they are doing
but if they pushed Pac vs Thurman a bit more on FOX and showed more stuff it would be even more buys
ESPN doesn't do ****. They barely even push boxing, I rarely see them talk about it even when they had friday night fights.
I think Spence vs Porter will do at least 350k buys FOX is going to push it heavy in LA the celebs will go out since its in STaples center.Comment

They're using boxing to get subscribers for their app. They admitted it when they said they're putting the good fights on the app because combat sports fans are used to paying for content.
Top Rank has no say in what goes on the app & what goes on regular ESPN. They have less control than they had at HBO.Comment

To be fair, Spence/Garcia also got a big push from the NFL season. They would have both at Cowboys games and put them in big spots during the broadcast to help the promotion out.Whats crazy is they didn't even really push anything extreme for Pac vs Thurman it was almost under-promoted compared to Spence vs Garcia, Spence Garcia was promoted more because these were two unknowns so it shows you they know what they are doing

They may have done a bit more for Spence/Garcia no doubt. But like you said, they were also two unknowns to the mainstream so they needed a bigger push.
If Spence vs Porter does 350k buys, then that would be pretty insane and effectively put Spence in PPV fights the rest of his career.......Assuming he wins. Well, on PPV until he loses or loses multiple fights in a row.Comment
