Comments Thread For: Errol Spence-Danny Garcia Generates $2,615,075 Live Gate From 14,508 Tickets Sold

Takes two to tango. I find it weird that they always seem to give all credit to Spence. Anyways whatever

That’s true but it’s easy to see who the bigger draw is when you break it down on a granular level.
Mosley, Cotto, PAC, Oscar and even Connor’s huge PPV numbers have one commonality- Floyd.

Manny fought Mosley, Oscar and Cotto and the numbers weren’t close to Floyd’s numbers.
From that, we can say Floyd is the bigger attraction and warrants his lion share purse.
That’s just pure economics.

So, when we look at Crawford’s numbers vs Spence, it can be deduced who is bigger. The thing that nullifies or reduces that argument is, Crawford is ranked 1st P4P and holds one belt and is undefeated and is as big a band as Spence in the general context so a 50/50 split makes more sense. The rest is just semantics. Or someone is ducking (cough Bud cough)

Extremely impressive especially for the pandemic. Spence is AMERICAN Boxing’s superstar

Canelo vs Smith did 2.3M? Interesting, would love a breakdown for that fight.

With more tickets sold but a lower price point. Also more comped

Crawford better beg for 60/40.

He better hurry up before Spence get that other belt

[Drew Bundini Br]

Lets stop the Spence/Crawford hype. It's not happening because of these reasons.
1. Spence knows him and Pac would do best PPV numbers since Floyd. Bud has to wait.
2. HAYMON won't make fight until bud gets rid of Arum and signs with PBC so the $$ and fight can be easily made.
3. Spence has the better quality wins and most PPV so 60/40 is appropriate in his favor.

I want Spence vs Pac 2021 with Bud taking on winner 2022 once he signs with PBC.

Looks like more tickets sold for Spence/DSG but higher price point for Canelo/Smith.

The Dec. 19th DAZN event aired live from The Alamodome, producing a live gate of $2,303,100 from 11,213 tickets sold, along with another 670 issued comps. Interestingly, the combined attendance figure (11,883) surpasses the 11,426 total announced on fight night.

But let's cut the crap that you can't make any money off gates right now. TR needs to start taking their cards to Texas.

you may not care one iota...but the guys fighting and the guys that make them do...accept business is part of the sport and all sports....if you accept that and follow numbers you will understand things.....yeah as fans we dont love that aspect...but it exists and is here to stay...these dudes are in the sport to make the most money they can and thats just reality....your idealist "i want the best fighting the best all the time when i want it" attitude just isnt realistic

But Im not talking about the fighters and their business plan Im talking specifically about fans talking the top guys are not worthy.

Crawford in his last two fights was knock down by a C level unknown fighter, and got his eye busted in two rounds by a washed fighter. But Spence is going to be a walk in the park?

People supporting Crawford have mastered ignoring what actually happened in his fights.

If Spence was knocked down in any of his recent fights, it would be mentioned non stop.

T Crawford's last 8 consecutive KO's speaks huge volume over Jr Spence's last 3 fights going the distance with Lil Mikey, Porter and the walking zombie Danny boy Garcia.... that's a shame... “Errol Spence will try to avoid Terence Crawford as long as he can because he knows he can’t beat Terence Crawford.”

I dont get any of this idea at all, I dont understand why fans eliminate the best fights by saying one doesnt deserve the fight it makes no sense to me, its like the few idiots that say Spence and Crawford are not worthy of Pac yet all these B graders that fight them are worthy,

I want the best fighters to fight each other, I dont care one iota about worthy or draw I just want to see the best fight the best.

These mofos on here sound like they're the doggone promoters. Anytime someone makes a post they have to get on and talk about a fighter not deserving to be in the ring. Yet they number 1 arguments is the resume. SMDH

I want the best fighters to fight each other, I dont care one iota about worthy or draw I just want to see the best fight the best.

But if a guy you THINK is one of the best ... has not fought or defeated any fighter in the Top 6 ... why do you think he is one of "the best"?

Whoever is good may have to beat some upper tier competitors on the way to the top. If they can get there without fighting them ... lucky them. If not, said fighter needs to make and take some of those upper tier bouts along the way.

Demanding to fight the best without the resume to back it up .... sometimes is just noise. But, if they can get the fight ... so be it. If they can't, crying about it is pitiful.
