What are you looking for. I seen boxing fans more excited for this one than any one since Wilder vs Fury. When you see the hardcores excited on SM thats a good bet its in the 300k range.
Its too bad Manny isnt next. I think that would be a great next fight to get him into the 500k range & getting more casuals throwing money at him. I think Danny could be a dip in buys.
It's hard to quantify how big of a star someone is...but I just don't see any basis where Spence is a bigger star currently than Crawford or Gervonta Davis or Kovalev or Loma or Jermall Charlo...like where are the 200k+ ppv buys coming in for him vs Crawford or Charlo...I just don't see the buzz for him being a PPV guy...I think him vs Mikey was probably inflated some and most of those buys were probably from Mikey's fans.
As I said I will be looking forward to what the payouts for this fight are...if anyone has that data please let me know...if Spence/Porter make about 2 million for this fight then it is clear enough that the fight sold no more than 100k PPV.
Also, if this sold 300+ PPV, and they then do Spence-Garcia PPV, then I would expect Spence's purse for that fight to be close to $10 million.
I personally just think those are bogus numbers and that even if they become 'official' it is likely from PBC inflating them as they pretty clearly have motive to make Spence/their fighters look very successful right now...that could take Spence Crawford from a 50-50 split to 70-30 which is potentially 10 million dollars difference.
So yeah I will be looking at what Spence and Porter are paid here and nothing else really.Comment
