Crawford vs Spence PPV Nums

[Southpawology]

We just saw the UFC pull 1.3 million. We all know crawford vs spence is one of the most in demand fights in boxing so hypothetically if Crawford vs Spence were to be made do you think they could beat this number??

[TMLT87]

Its a fight for the hardcores mostly. I reckon 500-600k. Good but not huge.

Yeah, if that.

Biggest fight at WW in terms of PPV buys is Pacquiao vs Spence.

I do think Spence vs Crawford can get in the 500k range though.

[bluebeam]

700k ppv buys

[mxtali]

500-600k maybe

[HewJohnson]

500K tops.

Crawford does like 100K-150K on his own...pathetic.

Agreed, Crawford despite his immense skill has yet to prove he's any type of draw especially on PPV.

Also think the pandemic boosted UFC PPV sales. More people at home, no group watch parties, and people are STARVING for sports.

Agree with 500-600K

No I don't blame them, I don't blame their Promoters, I don't think it has nothing to do with "Fans Having To Wait Too Long" I just think Boxing Fans SUCK as a Whole. This sport cannot survive and just the support of Hardcore Boxing Fans because it is not many of us! This sport needs Casuals to do Big Numbers and without the interest of Casuals all Boxing Events will Flop Hard and Promoters and Networks know that which is another reason why these fights don't happen sooner

Spencer Jr vs Crawford is NOT a Mega Fight not even close. Other than AJ vs Fury (which is more of a Mega Fight in the UK than it is in the US), boxing doesn't have any "Mega Fights" on the Horizon. I can't think of many if any fights at the moment that for sure would break 1 Million Buys easy without the Networks Embellishing the numbers which is something this sport a lot because their real numbers are too embarrassing to release them

Neither are Brash, both have Dry Personalities so neither will do much to grab the attention of the Casual Viewer

Nah, if that was the case then TR ratings would be much better. It sold well because the card was stacked and Masvidal has become a star.

And you could argue with unemployment so high during the pandemic, that would have hurt the PPV sales. But the fight still did great regardless.

We are in the begining of the greater depression so I say 200-300k.
