Ward Kovalev 3.3 million gate

Canelo vs Kovalev 8.1 million gate

Whom else is hitting 8.1 million gate in two fights in the same year? So then we resort to, ''DAZN doesn't know what its doing.'' numbers or general interest don't lie.

They paid close to 90 million for those 2 fights not including advertising, production costs or undercards and don't get a dime from the gate. They made a mistake

how were Golovkin's Gate sales with Rolls and DeVry?

Canelo stay pimpin.

Again, it's GBP that has to set that fire under DAZN, the same way Arum has Fury out there, and the PBC has fighters showing up at football games.

I think I know how to fix what is wrong with DAZN but I am just some guy and I definitely ain't getting paid for it so...

The gate isn't supposed to pay for the purses and other expenses. DAZN only cares about subscriptions. They only need 900k subscribers for the yearly plan to break even. When you take into account monthly subscribers plus restaurants, bars, movie theaters and international subscribtions DAZN likely made a profit on this fight.

I'm not of the kind of guys who likes to throw numbers to prove a point but I think it's a very solid gate.

Ward vs Kovalev 1 which at the time was the best fight in boxing because it would produce the #1 P4P on the sport had a $3.3 Million Live Gate From 10,066 Tickets Sold on the T-Mobile

So this made 2.5x times better than that event, and let's just remember that this was not on May nor Sep. Plus it was competing with Masvidal vs Diaz so I think it's a very good number.

It's crystal clear that Canelo is not Mayweather status, but remember that Boxing has been on a decline, Pacquiao doesn't produce those incredible gates anymore, and that fight with Thruman was a great one!

Different times.

The best argument I heard regarding the P4P rankings was the reason why Crawford and Lomo are still ranked ahead on Canelo is because if they were both natural middleweights, they would both beat Canelo at middleweight based on their skill sets versus his. But I guess that argument underestimates Canelo’s ring IQ, ring generalship, boxing ability, defense, and punching power.

These so-called writers are confusing being the pound for pound best fighter in the world with being the biggest draw. Canelo is only the latter. It also seems that boxing fans are getting tired of his shenanigan fights, so they are not paying for them. Good for them. You cannot cheat the free market.

If fights were won on paper there would be no upsets and EVERYONE would never lose $$$$. I’ve been wrong a bunch of times in fights before. And I don’t believe a WORD from anyone that’s says they ALWAYS pick the winners...

[Shadoww702]

I’m confused??? This ain’t bad numbers at all since they only had like 8 weeks to promote and Kovalov for some reason doesn’t have a big fan base at all??? This wasn’t even on a Canelo date.

Ppl pulling the fire alarm and yelling “fire” for no reason!

And it’s NOT like Charlo, Andrade, Saunders are doing jack sht to help raise their profile for a MUST see fight with Canelo!!!

Only one even trying is Canelo. Everyone else just sitting around BEGGING
