    The fighters would know the true PPV numbers if they're getting a percentage of the PPV revenue right? Or maybe they think they're owed money if the reports say there were more PPV buys than their pay would suggest?

      I think Arum is at a point now where he doesn’t give a toss anymore. He openly came out and said he is losing money on Crawford. He open release his numbers, so maybe he is bitten by the truth serum or something.

      We know PBC inflate their numbers that they give to their “Sources” for Coppinger. And it’s because they have rival promotions and networks in America.

      Hence why they seem very reluctant to work with any other promotional outfit. Because the real numbers would be seen by their rivals, when they worked with ESPN for the Wilder/Fury rematch they knew they were working together to get rid of Joshua. So unless that scenario happens again we would never see their main fighters doing that again.

        So Arum's numbers are real but PBC's are fake?

        Ok buddy. Whatever you have to tell yourself.

              He's right the pay-per-view business model is dead. With services like YouTube and Snapchat people just aren't buying anymore and have very little reason to.

                ZERO credibility. Arum is just as big of a liar as Trump.

                    Bob Arum is a huge liar. Precisely why he knows the truth.

                    Why would you even expect huge numbers when only a handful of so-called hardcore fans here buys PPVs? I won't even believe 50,000 people bought the fight. Especially now that most people are always able to find ways to watch it for free.
