Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

If Tank is the face of boxing and he does 200k ppv sans Ryan how is 150k bad. Thats why I brought him up.

I don’t think tank is the face of boxing, one huge fight doesn’t make you the face. Let’s see how tanks does post Ryan before we have that convo

Canelo is clearly the only guy who can do numbers everytime he fighters regardless of who it is.

They can argue all they want but only one of them has been Undisputed(Thanks to Loma) and only one of them is undefeated (Thanks to Killa Kambosos ).. the rest of what you saying I'm cool with.. they can have a mini tournament.. Just brings Devin even closer to being 2x undisputed further lapping his contemporaries once again

part of the build up/presser stuff would be Devin roasting Teo of not really being undisputed and both fathers roasting each other.

IMO this is what they need to be building to. leave Tank behind and let Tank and Shakur duke it out. If Shakur beats Tank then he should move up to challenger the Teo/Devin LOSER while the winner fights Ryan and then if he make sit past them fight the winner after Ryan.

Tank isn't a PPV star, Tank's money comes from the gate as his fights do good numbers and they tax for the tickets.

mayweather wasn’t a ppv star till he fought Oscar.

The next few fights we will find out if tank is really that nikka his fans hype him up to be.

If he fights Pitbull it will sell out cause dude is almost like a Meme among Mexicans, PPV idk. After Pitbull there is nobody left who will give a big crossover fight for a casual segment. Tank vs Shakur will be an Errol vs Bud kinda fight (maybe a lil less) where it's big but it aint big if that makes sense

Y'all really talking more about business more than the fights, shyts sickening.

Unfortunately, this is a byproduct of not seeing the fights we want to see.

Instead we reason (excuse) why the fight we want to see, isn't happening.

those are still not good numbers,

but hopefully its like you are saying cuz 50k would be terrible news.

Bill Haney said 250k but I'm not sure if that's true, he might be trolling with that, heard it's over 150k which would be in line with the Loma PPV, if that's the case I don't think it's too bad as Loma is a bigger name than Prograis and it sold well at the venue too. Devin Haney isn't a massive PPV draw yet at all, he's progressing and growing as a star/draw but he's not quite there yet, with the right dance partner he could do very good numbers, a Tank, Garcia, someone like that, but against Prograis who has been somewhat under the radar not gonna be massive numbers. If he keeps winning his numbers are gonna rise, for example if Garcia is next that has a chance of doing a lot more.

I hope Al Haymon doesn't sacrifice Jermall and have him fight Benavidez

[JamesJabdi]

Haney got a 6 million guaranteed vs Prograis.

how well did the gate do, I can't find number online.

We know the paper flopped.

They did around 1.75 million gate

 

[R=G]

Josh Taylor says he'll fight Haney at a catchweight below 147.

How u figure.

Tank was doing 200k before ryan. U can argue that huge number 1.2 mil mostly came from Ryan being a IG thot moreso than tank.

150k for a fight most casuals wouldnt know about seems fine

Ryan has never been successful on ppv until that fight. Basically was making jobber money until recently too.

Briedis and Zurdo on deck

Boxing is a business first, sport second. The business side is part of the sport.

If you’re following boxing, you should be aware of the business side, so that you can understand how fights are to be made.

No one is going to talk about fights, if they have no chance of happening.
