lol the hate is real...
the delusion is def real,..
by your math.. canelo v. cotto is not gonna be sell out either... hell nobody with a legit credit card had a chance at tickets for that fight.. straight to brokers...
this fight they gave the public a chance.. hence i was able to buy ticks... not frozen out at ticketmaster...
lol at you thinking gbp or ggg team ARE GONNA HAVE TO GIVE AWAY TICKETS OR PAPER THE HOUSE...nah .. that aint happening..
again breh.. selling out on both coasts... no casino.. arenas...

Canelo sold out his last fight against Kirkland at a baseball field, I'm positive Mexicans and Ricans gonna show out in Vegas in the 2nd biggest of the year

i meant by your stub hub math and logic its not gonna be a sellout... being that tickets are "available" on stub hub...
don't know why the ggg hate and more importantly the idea that the guy isn't prob top 3 draw in boxing right now...
ggg sold out forum 12k... breh.. all mexicans...
WILL BE SURPRISED TO SEE IF HE FIGHTS CANELO WHO THE HARD CORE MEXICANS PLEDGE THEIR ALLEGANCE TOO..LOL..
MSG cleared their schedule for the potential to double their initial investment by partnering with HBO and the promotional companies. They're buying into the potential ticket sales, which they'd then split or keep, depending on the deal. Then there's suites, merchandise, concessions, etc. And more and more, the promoters are working with the arenas to sell to brokers and double & triple revenue from ticket sales.Oh wow. They cleared their schedule to fit GGG for free ? Sounds about right. Tell me where they do that at breh. As far as I'm concerned it's a reason we can only host boxing at the BB&T center instead of the AAA lol while AAA is more well known and better located lol.
The venue pays you to host your event ?
You really think HBO,GB, and K2 are paying MSG to host their PPV fight that will make millions from ticket sales alone?
And who knows what AAA's issue/stance is regarding boxing.
BB&T was doing things with boxing because Michael Yormark was running things there. You know people in SoFL don't like how he handled the Panthers, but he made them $ by expanding the amount and types of events there to supplement the hockey revenue. His brother runs Barclays and is doing the same there.
Got my streams on decc, can't wait for GGG to lose on some looney shyt. Homie got Apple commercials & no one outside Justin Long been in one for years.
Put your sister's lung on it!

The main point was most think the PPV only gotta sell 150k to be successful is BS
We used the formula thats always been used 50% off the top to cable providers
The rest of the 50% to cover purses
nikkas wanna switch it up now N bububu but what about ticket sales N Big Drama show program sales
So ok I was wrong bout MSG having to be rented out BUT MSG do have they hand in the pot like you said be it ticket sales or whatever....so thats why we don't factor in tickets sold when talking bout whats a PPV success
THE MACHINE
night owl
200k Xs $50 = 10 Milly
Cable N Dish providers take 50% from the PPV...That leaves us with 5milly
So 5 Milly left to pay all the fighters on the card plus all other expenses...doesn't seem to me like a profit is being made at a 200k buy rate
I can't breh
Yeah, I was just clarifying that one point. I don't consider tickets and the site fee in the PPV equation either, because they'd get that $ with or without PPV. And inherently a big PPV fight will get more $ from every other revenue stream.
As for the PPV, we know what it'll take for it to be a success. And it's not about profits and losses. They're claiming GGG is a star, so the bar is high. There's no in between. Either you're a PPV star or a free TV fighter. I think it has to do 300k or more for GGG to be on that Cotto/Canelo level. If it does less, then GGG doesn't belong on PPV and won't bring anything to a fight with Cotto and/or Canelo.
