Crawford /Khan PPV 179,000

[KTFOKING]

Remember when Richard Schaefer predicted Floyd vs guerrero would do 4 million buys? Lmao. Nothing will ever top that delusion.

Put Dick Schaefer and senile Bob in the same promotion for a PPV, and you will start to hear some possible 10 million buys types of numbers.

[Mister Wolf]

So 179K clueless casuals thought this would be a competitive fight. Contrast that with the 350K clueless casuals who thought Spence vs. Garcia would actually be a competitive fight and we can see which fan-base has more delusional casuals.

I didn't think it would be competitive. I just like seeing Crawford box and I'm not poor.

180k, plus gate etc hopefully results in a break even

How?

Even 200k PPV buys, @$70 per PPV, generates $14m; roughly $7m for the pot.

With Khan getting $5m, and Crawford getting $5m, plus the payout for the undercard, costs of putting on the event, and Arum getting his piece, there's still a lot of money to make up.

There's literally zero gate information, lol.

[Scipio2009]

A-side Spence. 60-40 split or Arum can **** off

It's wider than 60/40 once you also consider the gates/ability to sell tickets.

And that's before Spence gets the full court press for the Porter unification, the full press for the Thurman-Pacquiao winner unification, and the full press for the likely Garcia defense, lol.

It's probably 65/35 Spence Jr now, with the economics making it 80/20 were Spence to clear out his side first (70/30 on the public money, for Arum/Crawford to save face).

So much for that phone call

[Scipio2009]

So Crawford and Khan both started at 135... a more fair fight than Spence vs Mikey Garcia ffs.

PBC fanboys jerked off to Floyd vs Berto PPV so expect them to say A side vs B side for these two funny shows

^^^^^^ lol, sulk in it.

Would have done far more if it was marketed properly.

BT did a good job promoting it but Top Rank were terrible. I bet most of the PPV's were from the UK.

[Achcauhtli]

jeez it must have bombed in pakistan

LMAO

PBC #1, Lets celebrate boys

I take it youre not a fan of Crawford?

So what is the consensus on glaser? Is he considered credible or a fraud? Dude once said he polls his facebook friends on whether they bought a PPV or not in order to calculate his numbers lol.

Or is it a case of if he reports numbers in favour of your agenda, then he is credible and if he reports numbers that doesnt suit your agenda, then his numbers are bullshi.t?

Well it depends on who you ask. Some don't like him, but others like BIGPOPPAPUMP from here say he is the 4th most powerful man in boxing, just behind Al Haymon, Arum, and Eddie Hearn.

There's literally zero gate information, lol.

The place looked like it was sold out, tbh, not sure if that'd help the total monetary pot?

Wait on Iole or Pugmire, imo.

Glaser doesn't have real credibility to me, but the fact that his number is what it is, and Arum preemptively ran out with the "don't trust any number not from ESPN, who aren't going to say anything" (hinting that the event was tracking toward being a poor number), puts out all indication that the real number is going to end up looking bad.
