your stars are but dust on my shoes
fukk that!!! aint no real draws in this generation to be having PPVs like that

Haymon's model seems to be reliant on PPV's just to keep his fighters happy, so you kinda got a point.

But using Tyson and Floyd PPV numbers to shyt on the new guys ain't it.:mjlol:

Crawford and Spence are literally just a few signatures away from being able to do a milly PPV. Really, it's a few fighters who have great potential to do numbers.:ehh:

real comparison for this generation is seeing what teofimo does on this triller ppv..now if that flops you may have a point..but if that shyt sells a million plus then like tyson vs jones..some more questions will have to be asked lol :pachaha:

That Montiel fight sucks ass and the Colbert vs Gamboa one is only worth tune in to see how good Colbert does compared to his peers, otherwise I'm more or less interested in every main event there. Jermell vs Castano and Fulton vs Nery/Figueroa are the best ones but Oubaali vs Donaire not far behind either.
Rigo vs Casimero to see just how much Rigo has left in him, can he spoil the party for Casimero?
Benavidez vs Uctageui a good action fight, Uzcategui won't have the same stylistic problems he had with Plant. Probably Benavidez wins but it could be a good action fight.
Nery vs Figueroa should be a good fight though I clearly favor Nery there, would be surprised at a Figs win
Tank vs Barrios is kind of interesting, though it shouldn't be a PPV probably

You won't know the real number anyway based on the way Triller reported the ppv figures for Tyson/Jones

its a challenge based off physical advantages that barrios has not really a skilled one to me...i would think that if barrios didnt have that hiccup sometime back...in fact ive been saying it barrios needed to run it back with the WSB cat he got a gift from on the porter-spence card more

with regards to PPV and numbers..i really cant take any PPV numbers seriously if they cant break a milly..tyson-jones doing 1.7 million for an exhibition from 2 retired fighters is wild..and the last time anyone active broke a million...HBO was in still boxing so they should have just aired this on regular showtime
That was no gift it was a close fight and not people I watched with had Barrios winning by a point

Yo Pat you gotta chill on this narrative you've been building. Tyson and Jones were both athletes who were not only relevant in their sports, but culturally as well.

A fukking Trinidad vs. Vargas grudge match is not doing these types of numbers neither are most other matchups.:mjlol:

Tyson remains in a league of his own when it comes to capturing public intrigue.


:heh:


its PRIZE fighting


Imagine Ellerbe telling tank “look I kno the last PpV did good N made us money BUT Tyson did over a Milly buys sooooo we need you to take a pay cut your next fight”
