That's cuz casuals skipped this fight and are focused on that Mayweather vs McGregor fight!
It should've been on regular HBO world championship boxing!.
Kov is a true savage, he takes fights for nearly peanuts even though his status as a fighter and what he accomplished says he should be paid like Ward is or more!
Got fleeced twice within 9 months, smh!

Thank god for the Haymon project and Arum getting his fighters a new platform on ESPN so that people can actually watch high level boxing which isnt behind 2 paywalls (subscription and PPV)Last edited by Tom Cruise; 06-24-2017, 06:48 AM.

To the people saying May vs Mac announcement killed the numbers, I would say if a fight announcement kills all interest in your bout, it was probably never going to do good numbers in the first place.

PPV is done,maybe alvarez and may weather can still sell ppv's,but why buy a ppt when you can watch it free on stream all over the internet,boxing's futures is free cable,much more exposure,build up fan clientele again,may weather and pacquiao,these fighters had many many fights against top fighters before they became ppt stars,something these boxing star nowadays haven't done yet except maybe Alvarez and his number's show it,you need a good amount of good fights against great opponents to be able to sell many ppv's

Wow that sucks. Kov is going to make about $750k or so. Ward tried to tell dude but kov wouldn't listen. HBO should have put this fight on regular cable.

This fight, with this kind of promotion was never to going to do more than 150k buys.
From 6:00, spot on. Hearn knows his stuff.
