Bradley vs Rios Purses , Main Event does 910K AVG Views.

[Aaronide_ger]

The Overall Purse amount of these 2 fights is 3.485 Million Dollars.. Isnt it a bit too much for an HBO Regular show? I Expect TV ratings to be around 1.1 - 1.2 Million viewers.. How are they going to profit from that?

The Overall purse for the 2 fights on the Golovkin vs Lemieux Card was 3.85 Million...

According to BS and multiple Industry sources, the official numbers are out. Bradley vs Rios did 910K Average Views Peaking at 1.026 M... Money Loss for HBO & Top Rank as I said before the fight even happened.

Total purses for the Golovkin card was just under 4.1 million.

And comparing it to a non-PPV fight is kinda an apples and oranges thing.

The loss or gain is measured differently. The promotion is different. Even things like sponsors and site fees are or can be different.

I said the overall purse for the 2 fights, learn to read. This fight certainly wasnt profitable to anyone, its simple.

I saw what you wrote.

I just refused to let you float that selectiv half fact as gospel.

You should think about why you are making so hard an attempt to compare a PPV flop with a fight that is part of HBO boxing's regular yearly budget, instead of directing shade at me...

How did they lose money? HBO already gets the money from their subscribers and Top Rank got money from HBO to pay the purses. It probably wasn't a success but I don't see how anyone lost money.

[Aaronide_ger]

@koolkc107 Haha you are funny. The PPV was a flop but for this fight "We dont know if they profited or not"

U make yourself look stupid, Peace.

over 5k attendance, which is probably around quarter million $.
sponsors, merchandise, concessions, etc adds to that.
HBO gets paid no matter how many people watch because it is a monthly premium
subscription network with $1.79bil profit last year, owned by time warner that had
over $6bil profit last year. they have over 36 million US subscribers and over 122
million subscribers worldwide. 0 people watch and HBO makes the same money as
the million watching bradley-rios. HBO paid what they had in their budget and didn't
"lose money". top rank has contracts with hbo and the fighters have contracts with
HBO, so the promoter and fighters all got paid. thomas mack center got paid to
host the event. everybody got paid. nobody "lost money"

That means they distributed their budget unfairly, since this fight did 910K avg Viewers. But I really cant understand how you can say that everybody got paid but at the same time label Golovkin-Lemieux a flop.. Double Standards much.

Er, no.

I am not the one silly enough to seek some misplaced
feeling of redemption by comparing two different
financial situations.

And BTW, I didn't say we don't know if they profited or not.

That was you, fanboy projecting...again.

Peace.

What was that then? Hater.

i have no idea who that comment was directed at. GGG-lemieux set the table for bigger GGG fights
down the road and everybody got paid in that one as well.

That was me shooting holes in your BS.

You wanna prove something lost money?

You gotta do better than that crap you tried to float...bringing up viewership in a non-PPV bout.

That's like me speculating that since a million folks watched, and since a typical HBO subscription runs 10 bucks a month, that even if they put on 12 big fights a year, each one is about $10 of revenue...meaning a million views is 10 million dollars.

But what I just did is as much BS as the OP.
