BTW no way you can deny that the co-main event was a very big fight.

If he doesn't fight any better than he did he won't continue to bring in huge money. He was not impressive at all against washed up Gamboa. He is supposed to be improving but he has fought ten times better than that before.

I think the numbers were inflated because it was in Atlanta. The sad thing though was that he was able to make those numbers fighting a weak opponent while giving the worst performance of his life and still got praised lol. Seems like people will still support him regardless of his opposition or skill level. Just as long as Floyd is promoting him and he continues to KO Uber drivers.

Joshua vs Ruiz I and II definitely surpassed a million gate as did Crawford vs Khan and GGG vs Derevyanchenko.

But Davis is a draw no doubt. That's why I'm fine with him going PPV next fight. Let's see if his good gates translates to PPV buys. Not always but only one way to find out. Lomachenko is going on PPV next fight and his gates are no where close to 2M.

I'll post the official numbers when I get them but as of yesterday they wweren't available.

Tank vs LSC is a solid ppv to sell. But it gets tough after that to sell him on PPV. But I hope Atlanta keeps getting fights. I flew down for the fight just to experience a fight in another city. It was amazing. Atlanta needs to be in the mix.

Cong****, still doesn’t change the fact he missed weight, tried to start a fight at the scales, called this camp his easiest as a pro, got extra time to make weight, looked like shhh and needed damn near the distance to stop a fighter who is more shot than a golden gun at a drug lord gathering and fighting on one foot. Let’s not forget they had seats available to try and pull celebrities from the football game next door, as shaq told the cameras. Now that we got the unimportant things out of the way, when is he fighting an elite fighter or one of the leaders of his pro class?

[daggum]

so we are happy people bought garbage? what do you think they will get next?

A star is born... 🤣🤣

Black fighters don't sell, doe. Right, Abel Sanchez?

'The Demographic' won't show up and support 'their own' like Mexicans will, doe. Right?

He better not lose that 0!

Spence, Canelo & Pacquiao. 3 out of 5 from the list of my favorite boxers.

Don't fall for MCC crap. Nowhere in the link they talk about gate. They talk about total income. It could be gate + merchandising + food sales and even more stuff. Besides that, the co-main even was a great fight, that could have sold the majority of the tickets.

Who would you rather watch if you are a boxing fan? davis vs gamboa or pascal vs jack? it's obviously the latter.
