Errol Spence Jr vs Shawn Porter Sells 13k Tickets, $2.3M Live Gate

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I don't think he can do that. I mean he doesn't have to be a total nice guy or anything, but he can't all of a sudden turn into Mayweather. As seen by his numbers, he is doing just fine being himself.

He can do it, I mean dont come out super duper fake and shit trying to put on, just embrace that gangster side he has and be more vocal about it. It can be as easy as using trigger words.

Spence can talk his sh^t that he occasionally does at pressers, but that's about it. Overall, he's just a soft spoken dude who has a solid reputation. Obviously getting charged with DWI and almost killing himself will get him some hate, but I don't see the bad guy persona.

Crawford is the one that should have embraced that persona as he is legitimately a mean dude. Could have sold it well too.

Wilder vs Fury was bigger than this fight obviously.

Wilder/Ortiz I did about 1.6M at the gate.

Crawford vs Khan did 1.5M at the gate.

Lomachenko vs Linares did 1.25M at the gate.

Now, NYSAC doesn't always give this type of information and I think if a certain amount of tickets are sold, there is only a maximum of sales tax a promoter pays on certain cards. This is me completely guessing but for Joshua/Ruiz and a few other cards, they didn't give any of this information, just the gross receipts from the live broadcasting and then sales tax off not.

Basically, the maximum sales tax you can pay is $100k.

Thanks, I was looking for more numbers to compare it to. Spence is a legit draw.

that's good but if the next opponent will punch the fake teeth out of Spence, no more PPVs for him

It's a pretty good haul for two guys earning just $2M each and a small percentage of PPV. Did those final PPV numbers ever get posted? Something tells me it didn't break 300K otherwise we would have read all about it. Rumors were anywhere between 275 - 350K.

Earning just 2M each? Really?

What kind of numbers are you looking for? Official numbers weren't released for Spence/Garcia either.

275-300k sounds about right.

Isn't that what was reported? $2M each plus a percentage of PPV.

Spence's guarantee was around 7-8M, NOT 2M. Reported purse is not the same as guaranteed purse. Fury's reported purse was 1M last fight when he is making over 10M a fight with his ESPN deal.

As expected the originally announced attendance was greatly inflated. This gate is comparable to a very low end UFC PPV. That midget TJ Dillashaw did better numbers than this at Staples Center.

GGG with his two PPV flops also managed to do $3.5 million gate against Jacobs and $2 million against Lemieux. It's highly unlikely that with these kinds of numbers Spence-Porter got the 350k buys Mike Coppinger had claimed. The true number of buys is probably somewhere between the Arum number and the BoxingScene number.

Not necessarily. On some UK cards I bet it goes higher than this, ala Joshua. But overall I bet most are decently priced. The problem is no one can get the REAL numbers to their cards. UK is VERY secretive in everything and none of their reporters get these types of reports or even PPV numbers.

same with USA. Especially when mgm buys a few thousand tix to como to their players. Still counts as a ticket sold
