Lol at newzz arguing with boxing legion all morning.. I agree with him in that already berto argument

 

[Newzz]

what would be the catchweight? rigo needs a rhydration clause too....dude really to small for loma

Loma weighed in at 136 on Saturday vs Walters. That's only a 10lb rehydration.



When Loma wanted to face him, and Rigo was offered more than Terence Crawford was offered to face Viktor Postol on PPV ($1.5 mill for Rigo vs $1.3 mill for Craw on PPV), Rigo said that wasn't enough money...he needed more.



No way is Rigo getting $2 million+ to face Lomachenko when Walters just got $300k & GRJ got $421k.


He's just talking.

more than 97k and hbo wasn't running around saying Ward every 34.9 seconds like they do some nikkas

Kov can't draw flies to shyt in attendance or views so this was all #gang

rematch will do more #s because cacs will want to see him lose now since it was close the first go round

It's easy work the 2nd go round

97g still sitting in the cheap seats watching greatness on ppv while waiting fighting on hbo latino n turning his nose up at 10 milli

ggg was in cheap seats???

GGG fights a nobody, sells 97k PPVs

Andre "Son of Judges" Ward is the A-side for a #1 p4p heavily anticipated pay per view and can't even sell twice that, in fact his purse alone made it lose money on 170k



Son of Judges, Son of PPV Failures. How do you win a big fight yet end up even more irrelevant?

David Lemieux is a nobody...but Sergey Kovalev isnt?



And SOG wasn't the A-Side either.....and again 170,000 x $70 = $11.9 million. Ward's purse was $5 mill and Kovalev's was $2 mill. That's $7 mill out of $11.9 mill, which leaves a $4.9 mill profit already




And that's not even including counting the nachos, hot dogs, hats, and t-shirt sales like GGG stans in the media love to allude to for his fights

You agree with Boxing Legion that Martin Murray, David Lemiuex, Paulie Malignaggi, are elite fighters?


You agree that winning 4 championships over 4 weight classes is easier to do today.....when Adrien Broner is the only fighter who's debuted in the last 10 years who's done it?


Wouldn't if something was easier, plenty more Boxers would be able to do the same thing?

I agree with the 2nd part..not the first

Anyone else having weird problems with this site lately redirecting all the pages to a blank text page?

For me to believe it's easier...Ima need to see more people do it


Broner's the only one who's debuted in the last decade to do it

Didn't expect the fight to do great numbers but I was thinking around 250k buys, both Main Events and RocNation did a horrible job promoting the fight. Main Events specifically has done a shytty job building up and marketing Kov the past few years.

holy shyt! 160, i wasn't expecting that. i was surprised they broke 100K. i liked the fight but i don't see how they put the rematch on ppv though without a solid undercard next go round.

 

[firemanBk]

Yeah, not every sent of a PPV goes to the promoter. Like half goes go the provider. So, they're looking at closer to 6 million in PPV revenue. There's no way they made much of anything on that show

nikkas was sitting next to Kermit Cintron

I don't really care about RNS making anything to be honest...they didn't promote the fight or give us even an average under card.

Boxing legion is a nobody why y'all even arguing with him

Dude has admitted to not even watching boxing like that until a couple yrs ago

Y'all better off staying round here N arguing with the casuals in the fight threads
