Haymon just put the nail in the coffin. Game over

[The Big Dunn]

I completely agree. I don’t understand where the idea that PBC will be the last show in town in this country is coming from... except that it’s coming from the guy who always posts that every other promotional outfit and TV network is on the verge of death except for the one he roots for.

I think the problem is you are looking at the point through the poster and not just looking at the point itself.

Arum and Hearn see the fact that American fighters are more expensive to work with and that fans don't pack the arenas like they used to for the sport. From a business perspective you get cheaper labor (fighters from outside the US) and cheaper production costs, plus the added benefit of a great atmosphere from packed crowds by having more shows outside the US. Plus they are paying good money to put on the shows in Saudi Arabia and China, among other places.

It's not so much "abandoning America" as it is reacting to the business climate. Haymon, on the other hand, seems to invest directly in American fighters. He seems to be losing money on the shows but he is getting pretty good TV deals from companies that prefer to market American fighters rather than the sport itself.

Shut up bum

Your punk ass who-re of a mom should of swallowed your biitch ass!

[Motorcity Cobra]

Just because Arum is going to have fighters on espn outside of America and some of Hearn’s top stars don’t plan to fight here in their next fight doesn’t mean they’re abandoning the entire country you fanboy idiot.

I didn't say that dumbass. I said he's looking around the world for money because he's not getting it here.

Nice! Wilder's gonna go from being watched by 130,000 people to 140,000 people

PBC can’t even sell 200,000 PPVs though, so what good is it to be exclusive to 60 million homes, lmao.

PPV is dead unless Mayweather comes back or Canelo leaves GBP/DAZN for PBC or Top Rank.

Lol desperate times by the Haymon crew

Haymon has lost so much money for his investors and this does absolutely nothing

Dazn is the future, everyone would rather pay 10-20 than 70 plus and that 70 plus is mostly non ppv worthy hence wilders 2500 sell rate

Mr 2500 lmao

138k lmfao

"Face of boxing"

MCC will do anything to spin the PPV buys that Wilder-Ortiz 2/PBC just got. Tell a consistent story. You're critical of ESPN, Dazn, Arum and Hearn.

Considering the guaranteed purses of Wilder and Ortiz, as well as the other fighter's on this card, this had to be the biggest loss in PPV history.

PPV is dead, people aren't going to spend money on these fights unless they are of the highest standard and the fighters involved are well known and capture the interest of the general public. In this era where streams are easy to find the PPV model can't survive, they need to drop the prices for starters or at the very least improve the quality of the fight cards DRASTICALLY..... I mean they were charging $80 for the Wilder vs Ortiz PPV and the undercard was complete trash, that is before you get to a main event that wasn't in demand. When the UFC does PPV events the cards are stacked with fights that fans want to see.

If I read the article correctly, PBC accounted for 1,525,000 (not counting Wilder/Ortiz) PPV's sold in 2019. If Wilder/Ortiz only sold 138,000 (which we go with just to make the f-ckboys that hate Haymon happy), that is 1,663,000 PPVS in 2019.

At an average of $74.99 that is $124,708,300.00.

Now whether you like Haymon or hate him, how can anyone suggest the PBC PPV market is dead when it generated close to $125,000,000?

Or let me ask it this way-If you are a pro dazn poster on this site, knowing PPV can still account for $125 mil in a year do you consider doing PPVs?

And they aren't looking for million selling PPV's. They're happy when the 200k+ range. And PBC gets a higher percentage on those PPV's than the traditional cut. That's why these guys are making so much money. Al has cut out the middle man and upped their percentage.

Doesn't say anything about exclusivity, more BS from MCC.

[ShaneMosleySr]

You said Hearn is abandoning America.

I didn't say that dumbass. I said he's looking around the world for money because he's not getting it here.

[YoungManRumble]

Okay I give up. Please take what little money I have and provide me with sufficient mismatches to satiate my blood lust.
