    Wow 62k...representing 1/3 of 1 of those 62k buys, I feel like a part of a pretty exclusive club.

        No we wont. All we will hear is what they want us to hear. It does not matter who the promoter is, they all want it to appear to be a success.

          Crawford vs Spence will most likely do better.
          That's the fight fans want to see.
          Let's just hope this trend continues until he fights Bud.

                Just buzz from normal fight/sport fans...I just think boxing pretty clearly has been fading as a sport here for a while, and numbers like this would indicate a big revival in a way...just hard to believe imo.

                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.
                I think boxing is on a slight rise right now & Im 99% sure boxing has never had so much money coming into it as it does right now

                  I hear ya man...I have been wrong before and will be wrong again...I look forward to more information coming out.

                  And I like Spence...and Porter...don't really like Mikey...so I would be happy for them in a way if the PPV did well.

                  But at the same time I wouldn't like it because to me this is a $10-$15 fight and I just would never pay $80 for it...so if these types of fights really become high dollar PPV fights, well I will just always have to watch them the next day I suppose.

                      Lol man aint gonna be no $10 PPVs. Im sure the do focus groups & studies on PPV sh^t to keep prices right in that sweet spot of getting them the best revenue on average.

                      But I get you. It sucks being a boxing fan costs so much or you gotta be on top of streams n sh^t + how do you grow boxing to its highest point when the best stuff the fewest people get to see because its behind a paywall. Hard to have any viral organic moments like other sports do when few can watch your sport live.
