From what I have seen if a fight is trending to do better than expected you usually start hearing estimates thrown out the day after or so.
Pacquiao/Mayweather numbers started leaking the next morning that it broke records.
If a fight does poorly you don’t hear much as they sweep it under the table.
I don’t see any way this fight did anywhere close to 200k. I think it did less than 100k.
Likely got 150K to 200K, no way it went past that!
I say with the limited amount of promotional push this card got until fight week, no bad blood or much trash talk from either main event fighters, 2 of them don’t speak English, and lots of haters likely illegally streamed it for free or paid for the UFC card instead, it would be a success IMO if it hit 200K
I don't expect much to be honest. I am from the Houston area and am still fairly active in boxing as recreation at this point. Truth be told, the Charlo's are not really popular around here. Maybe in Alief where they are from but in the major parts of the city they don't really carry that type of buzz.
Would be nice to see good numbers from them considering I was in the amateur the same time as them. But I don't predict the best of numbers.
None of you contacts that Rick Glaser guy yet, he typically would make up a number by now
Again I think it will do just OK numbers, nothing great BUT it has created a Loud BUZZ for the Charlo Brothers that they can build upon going forward and those Numbers will keep going up and up as long as they fight good opponents especially if they fight opponents who will help sell the PPV and talk some trash with them
Coppinger had an early estimate for Spence-Porter within 3 days. The excuse for why he waited so long for the Wilder-Ortiz 2 numbers was that there was a delay due to Thanksgiving. There is no holiday going on this week so we should get early estimates within a day or two unless they're really bad. We didn't get any numbers for Crawford-Khan until people had stopped caring and moved on to something else.
