[desjardins]

Haymon putting out dud cards left and right still trying to sell Andre Berto,Chris Algeiri and Robert Guerrero as main eventers in 2015-16.


PBC might as well be a glorifed WWF Superstars from 1994

LSC and GR3 can't draw flies to shyt

Stevenson has gone AWOL

No one outside of boxing heads have any idea who Errol Spence Jr is Haymon just known for fatten his fighters pockets he's looking like Eric Bischoff in WCW status right now.


Those PBC cards be putting up trash numbers outside of Swift and AB I haven't even seen shyt for the so called big fight for Thurman vs Porter you can already tell that fight gonna tank ratings wise too.

You and jello spitting pure facts.
PBC has had some good ratings but the majority of the ratings have been
Haymon does one thing well....pay his fighters.
That's what's up but it's starting to look like a ponzi scheme since he is buying the time slots for all the PBC events and paying the fighters(which he gets a 20% cut of) with investor money . At what point do they start making money from networks? Haymon has money off all those Floyd PPVs he took 20% from, Showtime bouts, and the 20% from his PBC fighters so even if it totally flops......he still coming up

You sound like a fukking moron. Ponzi scheme, do you even know what a ponzi scheme is

only a broke 9-5 thinks in short teams, long money comes from return on investments 5-10 years down the road.

Haymon is boxing, when it is all said it done, when the smoke clears, there will be no golden boy, there will no top rank only Haymon, this is just the beginning

the man is a true mastermind, PBC is a success no matter what you say or how you try to spin it

you don't know shyt about haymon' s percentages or even how the deals are structured

you don't even how money is made in boxing promotions lol

this is thread is about a terrible HBO pay per view with their fake ppv star, yet Haymon's name is brought up lol

just say you hate to see nikkaz winning

Canelo vs Khan: Fight generates $7.4 million live gate

Pay-per-view buys may still be somewhat up in the air, depending on what you choose to believe. But the live gate figures for the Canelo Alvarez-Amir Khan event are in and official.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission says that the fight sold 13,072 tickets for a gate of $7,417,350, good for the 34th-best gate in Nevada history, which all in all is not a terrible showing, particularly for a fight that had no real buzz beforehand, and was widely criticized for being a physical mismatch by many fans and pundits.

The fight was well short of a sellout, even with the added novelty of the event being the first boxing show held at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Most likely, Golden Boy hoped for far better. This was well short of the sort of sales the true biggest fights of the past five years have done at the gate in Nevada, and there was also a lot of criticism of the ticket pricing. Golden Boy pretty obviously felt they had a hotter ticket than they did.

Here's how it stacks up against other big events from the past five years:

• Mayweather vs Pacquiao (2015-05-02), $72,198,500
• Mayweather vs Canelo (2013-09-14), $20,003,150
• Mayweather vs Maidana (2014-05-03), $15,024,400
• Mayweather vs Maidana II (2014-09-13), $14,899,150
• Canelo vs Cotto (2015-11-21), $12,470,200
• Mayweather vs Cotto (2012-05-05), $12,000,150
• Pacquiao vs Marquez III (2011-11-12), $11,648,300
• Pacquiao vs Marquez IV (2012-12-08), $10,888,900
• Mayweather vs Berto (2015-09-12), $10,062,500
• Mayweather vs Guerrero (2013-04-05), $9,922,350
• Mayweather vs Ortiz (2011-09-17), $9,000,000
• Pacquiao vs Bradley (2012-06-09), $8,963,180
• Pacquiao vs Mosley (2011-05-07), $8,882,600
• Pacquiao vs Bradley II (2014-04-12), $7,865,100

Note: All of those events were held at the MGM Grand, except for the Canelo-Cotto fight, which was held at Mandalay Bay.


Canelo-Khan did do better at the gate than this year's first "big fight," the third Pacquiao-Bradley matchup on April 9. That fight did $6,411,584, easily Pacquiao's worst since he broke through as a major league headlining attraction after his win over Oscar De La Hoya in 2008.

But just like with the pay-per-view (if it did the ~600K that Golden Boy says), we do know a couple of things about Canelo as a draw that we couldn't be completely sure of before. He does have some clear drawing power as the A-side in this sort of fight, but he needs the dance partner. Khan, who has never been a draw even though he is well-known and has been excellently promoted his entire career, and is also an exciting fighter to watch, was not that dance partner. There was just too large a portion of the audience that either didn't care about this fight or actively disliked the matchup.

That said, it is so far the highest-grossing fight of 2016, and this is a new world with expectations that should be lowered. That's also something I think everyone is learning very quickly. This post-Mayweather-Pacquiao landscape is a little harsh and unforgiving. Canelo-Cotto was a big hit because people really wanted it. Mayweather-Berto, Pacquiao-Bradley III, and Canelo-Khan all flopped, to some degree, because the matchups simply did not capture the imagination. It is no longer quite enough just to insist that something is big or important -- even the promised retirements of the generation's two best fighters couldn't sell those first two fights, and even the promotion of Canelo as their replacement couldn't make the Khan fight a true blockbuster.

Not a numbers guy but I thought this might intrigue some people here.

Also, from the comments :

That would rank as the second highest gate in UFC history. Just to put the "bad" gate into perspective. It is also the only other boxing gate besides Hopkins-Calzaghe that does not include a Heavyweight, Tito, ODLH, Pac or Mayweather. in the top 35.

They messed up pricing the tickets hence why it was not a sellout.
