In a recent interview with boxing writer Steve Kim, K2 Promotions chief Tom Loeffler addressed the sales target for the card. “Anything over 200,000 buys is considered a success” he said, “and HBO is very optimistic on the numbers that they are projecting.” If one does the math it is quite simple – 200K buys at $50 a pop and you have $10M dollars; half of which automatically goes to the PPV provider, the other half is split among the promoters. Ticket sales at the venue, a completely sold out Madison Square Garden, should generate in the neighborhood of $4M. The official purses have not officially been released, but it will be career high paydays for each of the four main fighters. For the “A-side” of the card, who has been earning $1-1.5M purses over the last year, his paycheck Saturday night will likely triple that amount.
