Comments Thread For: Canelo-Kovalev Generates $8.173 Million, 10,005 Tickets Sold

so aj/wlad sold 90k tickets and did 11 million live gate? they were only able to squeeze out an extra 3 million out of those other 80k tickets? lol

Yeah....thats the environment where boxing is a win-win for all stakeholders.
You don't over bill fans just because you want to make one outrageous figures to post online.
Thats why nobody takes boxing serious in the state.
A 15k arena would barely be filled up, thats too bad.
The UK fans are happy with their minimal ticket fee.

[Laligalaliga]

Anyone who thinks a big fight in Wembley is better than a big fight in Vegas needs to do better research.

You can sell a fifth of the tickets and do twice the gate if it's Vegas.

Boxing isn't meant to be too expensive. Boxing should have grown to a stadium fight in the state at this level considering the populations.
But no , they will turn blind eyes to it and cry boxing is a niche sport in the state.

[Laligalaliga]

What did they think was going to happen...real fans knew this was nothing but a calculated risk and there was also a better fight going on in the UFC. Sad to say but boxing took the backseat to UFC for this event.

You got it wrong again. In business, no one takes the back seat provided its a win-win situation which obviously was.
Say no more.

Pathetic to see So Called Boxing Fans Celebrate the overall decline of boxing because this is exactly what this is. It has NOTHING to do with Canelo, GBP or whatever. The problem is that the sport of boxing has fallen behind MMA here in America which a lot of Boxing Fans as well as Powers That Be in boxing are in complete Denial About

The Sport of Boxing Misses HBO far more than HBO misses the Sport Of Boxing and it BS Politics as well!

Big Network and APP Deals is a gift and a curse. The Gift is that Canelo gets his money from DAZN no matter how good or bad his event performs. The Curse is that Promoters here in America are extremely lazy and now make no effort to promoter their events because they already got Guarantee Money coming from the Networks and Apps

Anyway, in this ERA that is probably as good as you're going to get now, things are just not the same as it was and boxing is try to build its way back up

[MDPopescu]

You have no idea what you're talking about. They have spent a fortune already on building their brand. They are seeking 500 million in funding because the overall owner is no longer willing to spend his own money to bankroll it.

There is no value for any company to "overspend" which DAZN themselves admits has not been helpful for them because everyone is now looking for big money.

Chavez Jr is getting $6 million for Jacobs, who is getting more than that obviously. They are pissing money away.

And what does Andy Ruiz have to do with anything? He's a PBC fighter and heading back to Fox or Showtime - win or lose against Joshua.

I don't know what kind of exit plan DAZN USA had from the very beginning...

... but at this "pace" it will soon have to file for bankruptcy...

This can’t continue for long???

DAZN is spending close to $5 million to show two utubers box , Haney and one making less then them Saunders $750k

Then Chavez Jr is going to cost at least $5-7 million with Jacobs over $10 million. Then owe Jacobs one last fight for $10-14 million. And Kov. 2 fights for at least $10 million....

DAZN isn’t going to be around much longer IMO!

[Boxingfanatic75]

Nothing like coming into a forum seeing folks squabble over more money than none will see in 20 lifetimes. Very laughable.

Let’s not also ignore anyone that fights Canelo will want over $10 million with the same two fight extensions BOTH Kov. And Jacobs got....

Add up what Canelo got for those two fights. Then paying Canelo’s opponents and extensions.

Jacobs 3 fights costing DAZN over $30 million

Kov. $12 million and Probably two fights left at anywhere up to $20 million.

Canelo both fights $70 million
Add another $20-35 million for his 3rd....

Totals could be as high as this for all three fighters in a TOTAL of 9 fights

Canelo $105 million
Jacobs around $36 million
Kov. Around $30 million

= $171 million....

you turned into a ret@rded poster, bruh. You used to be a pimp. Somewhere down the line you became an LDBC goon.

When Haymon got his 500+ million funding for PBC, did he break that return in a year? Is Canelo's multi-fight deal less than $500 million? When PBC launched, how many world territories was it monetizing in?

You think HSBC only makes revenue from one country?

[FredRekk]

It's not a joke at all. . But it puts Floyd's popularity into perspective. He did a $10 mil gate against Berto... The popularity between these two is miles apart.

How many PPV buys?

What percent did Serafim get for whipping his arse?
