From the g****vine: Wilder vs Ortiz 2 sold less than 80k PPV

[Toffee]

PPV numbers don’t matter...We live in a age where we can get around paying for a PPV...Ring announcers never mention the number of PPVs a fighter helped sell during the introductions...the only numbers that matter are the wins, losses, draws, and knockouts

You're wrong.

It matters WHO you beat, lose to, draw against, or knockout.

No-one was interested in this fight. The numbers will prove that.

It's another empty 1 on the resume, for me.

Reporters are involved in a mass conspiracy then.. based on no evidence as usual.

LMAO. You actually believe that Wilder is getting paid $20million? If you believe it, you would believe anything.

Based on the terrible PPV numbers coming out thus far, he’s yet to break even with the $3million guaranteed purse, lol.

Aren’t reporters the purveyors of propaganda and the tools used to disseminate misinformation? Then again, you’re a yank and propaganda is part of the American fabric, so you wouldn’t be able to decipher something as simplistic as that.

Even your mainstream media has two sides to political propaganda spin with FOX on one side and NBC/CNN on the other side representing different agendas with propaganda.

Common sense and understanding how business works should tell you, a business can’t give out what it doesn’t make. There’s a balance sheet - that shows earnings and expenditures. And businesses are out there to maximise profits, not give out freebies. If they don’t make money from a fight, how do you expect them to pay boxers? You must think it’s a charity organisation with companies out there to take huge losses, while giving out tens of millions for free. LMAO.

You're still struggling with the word "Reporter".

It means they report. The numbers you want to believe come from a couple of people "claiming" something. The rest have just reported those claims. They haven't stated them as fact. If they could, they would. They've just said "Forbes can report that Dan Rafael has claimed...".

That's not real news. The words are every bit as important as the numbers.

Why do some of you care about how much a PPV sell or how much money a fighter make? Some of y’all weird I just want to see good fights.

How do you want those fights to be made?

Wilder v Ortiz 3. Will that do for you?

because purses and ppv buys are things that end up blocking good fights. for example if wilder had accepted the 100 million joshua vs wilder would have happened and that was considered a good fight but because that purse wasn't good enough for wilder we got wilder vs ortiz 2 which was kind of pointless at least for me.

If Coppinger was a liar and a PBC shill, wouldn’t he have just made up some amazing numbers to report?

The fact that he hasn’t reported the numbers doesn’t support your theory.

Why is this idiot thinks money grows on trees?

You can confirm this yourself by standing in the corner of your street and do your own little survey. See if you can find anyone who even watches boxing. Go ahead, do it.

The numbers don’t prove that there was a lack of interest in the fight...I saw the fight and didn’t spend a cent...there’s more than one way to skin a cat just like it’s more than one way to watch a PPV fight

Christ, some people will argue against anything here. Your argument is that interest in the fight doesn't affect PPV numbers?

Of course it does! There's not even a debate on that.

I streamed it. Took the chance on the quality being ok and the stream not going down. I won't take that chance next week.
