Charlos’ PPV numbers

[TMLT87]

To be honest UFC's been outdrawing all but boxings really big ppv's since the Ortiz/Liddell/Couture boom period which was about 2005.

Yep. Between Hopkins/ODH in 2004 and Canelo/JCC jr in 2017 the only boxing matches that broke a million buys involved Floyd or Pac.

The UFC has been a more consistent PPV draw for a long time now.

As much as I dislike Rick Glaser he said it MAY have done 100K buys but PBC will come out with a bigger number. & that the 200K number floating around is comical.

Showtime isn't hurting over this result. The alternative was just putting it on regular Showtime and pull even more money from their budget.

Sources: Showtime’s PPV doubleheader featuring the Charlo twins is expected to generate more than 100,000 buys with a chance to top out at 120,000. PPV debut for Jermall and Jermell, and they went up against NBA Conference Final and UFC 253

I think this is about the best they could hope for.

Would love to see some of these cards on regular SHO on a Friday or Tuesday just to see if they do a better job of attracting casual fans.

Good numbers for virtual unknowns. I think the Davis fight topples that.

Lol

Derevyanchenko is not an unknown

Nice try though

[Boxing Goat]

Tank gonna sell a quiet 300K

Only because he's fighting Santa Cruz

[EnglishOxide]

PPV is killing boxing in America.

[Pigeons]

If they really did 100K, that's tremendous.

Since that 04/05/06 sort of period it seemed the middle-of-the-range type boxing ppv's really dropped off badly. I used to keep track of ppv buys and after that period, where UFC got hot, they cooled off a bit but their average ppv's were still doing solid 200-400k number and they'd have big ones for Brock Lesnar or whoever else became big.

Boxing up to that point had been the same, big Numbers for a few guys like Tyson or De La Hoya and steady numbers for the next tier down. Stuff like Vargas vs Mosley, for example, in 2006 could still get 400k buys and that was 2 guys considered to be over the hill. If the Charlos were fighting then they probably could do 300-400k but no one is in boxing anymore. If I could pinpoint any particular moment in time where UFC overtook boxing it'd be that Couture/Liddell/Ortiz rivalry than drummed up a lot of interest.
