Does exhibition boxing have a future on ppv ?

[goose 5]

Can last night's exhibition be parlayed into future ppv events ? Or, was this a one time novelty ?

[JCS]

Depends on how many buys it got..

[goose 5]

350,000 are projected.

Wow big winner is their creditors then as both have been bankrupt!

[JCS]

350,000 are projected.

Not a good number with zero fans in the house and Tyson getting 10 million.

[JCS]

And how much did they have to pay Snoop Dogg? lol

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Maybe nothing does he own stock in the weed company?!?!?!

[Boxing Prospect]

350,000 would be better than pretty much all fighters, so.... Yes...

Isn't that what Wilder-Fur 1 did? or was that 325k?

[JCS]

Well, looks like it did around 1.25 million...

We're gonna definitely see more of these.

for as long as it makes money it will be there .

seems like a lot of retired fighters are eyeing up some easy money and maybe more than they got paid first time around ..

All depends on who’s fighting/sparring really..

Pro Wrestling has been selling PPV for years and it is no more real
than exhibition boxing.

Pro wrestling is like a soap, characters. Like watching a tv programme. But yeh, you’re right.

[Post 4 Post]

It has a potentially big future

I think there's a lot of money to be made in a 'Masters Boxing League'.

in a way its just a form of entertainment like any other , people want it and will pay for a ticket or stream and as long as they enjoy it then so what ... personally I would rather put $50 in a charity box than pay for a ppv like Tyson v Jones .

I dont have any issue with older fighters getting some cash as a result , but lets not allow the lines to be blurred by the hype machine suggesting Mike Tyson could challenge for a title again !

They were " boxers " back in the day and now are performers just like an actor / singer or any other entertainer .
