Don't forget the gate - $16.9 million. With the gate and combined international revenue from PPV buys they more than made money on this fight. They know what they're doing, nobody lost money here.
Indeed. So much BS around it from people who really went it to fail. It didn't. The money made sense and the guys got a good payday.
So many haters. Why bother when the numbers you are using are good and idiots forget the money from the rest of the world. Like how did it do in Japan among other places. Just saying. People are ranting from their US or UK-market only perspectives. So silly. More then two huge markets where they get a cashflow from. So yes, it made money back but Arum hoped for a bigger things.
The show was on PPV here too you know. Wasn't as pricey as some markets but still on PPV.
Well, when there are reports of a 1.1m break even and arums says 850k break even, then we hear this did possibly only 750k, it's understandable. Though defo some people wanted it to fail
Those people are either for a ban of the sport or petty douchebags.
