GGG Jacobs live gate $3.7 million, PPVs 150k

Not all the money of course, but you're right that neither 50/50 nor 60/40 are realistic.

From what I see of the Jacobs ppv numbers, seems that the ppv underperformed while the gate significantly overperformed, more or less balancing out.

So nothing's changed really.

 

You really like to pick and choose, here are Rick Glaser's Canelo numbers:

Canelo-Cotto: 650k
Canelo-Khan: 322k
Canelo-Smith: 200k

Either these are rubbish as are his Golovkin numbers, or both are true and Canelo is not much of a draw himself.

 

200k was the expectation, seems to have underperformed there, but a good gate + merchandise just makes up for it IMO.

What's despicable is all the Canelo fans trying to make out that it's a disaster, hoping for low numbers; they clearly don't care about our sport. I never wish Canelo numbers down, the more people are into boxing the better!

 

I agree.. There's a high possibility that the 15 mill offer has shrunk by millions. Bad decision from GGG and his camp TO HOLD out.

 

150k is about right, they would still make a modest profit
2.5m+1.7m = 4.2m


150k x 60 = 9m
Live gate 3.7m

Say 15m rough estimate.
They will make profit on international broadcast rights...

 

Those numbers are still pretty good

 

Those numbers don't matter, it was a PPV just to make the fight, both guys got paid now off to June opponent for GGG.
Canelo/Oscar have nothing to do with these numbers.

 

Cable and satellite providers takes 50% hbo wants their cut and don't forget those $20 rebates

 

GGG is the Undisputed king of the middle weight division that alone gives him the right to be atleast entitled to 50%.
GGG deserves 60 to canelo getting 40 for being the bigger ppv star. Just remember that this is boxing and not a popularity contest. GGG has done the hard work and canelo hasn't even fought a legitimate middleweight. He should be counting his lucky stars that GGG would allow him to even challenge for all the titles.

 

Correct. Nobody should want GGG ppv's to underperform.

The poster above is right. The reason this was PPV is down to HBO not having a boxing budget which can pay the purses for a non ppv broadcast.

 

That doesn't mean ****. The purses Canelo and GGG would demand for the fight means it needs to be ppv. The fighter that brings all those ppv buys to the table to pay the purses is Canelo. The fighter that will see the fight being held in Vegas and getting the casinos to front the money is Canelo. The fighter that brings the high rollers into the casinos for the weekend is Canelo.

One can argue GGG is the #1 MW but he wouldn't be the one driving the revenue so everyone gets paid.

GGG needs the fight more than Canelo.

What money fights are out there for GGG?

 

GG was not the draw in this ppv. People still didn't know who Jacobs and GG were, but they somehow knew that this would be a good fight, plus with Chocolatito on the undercard the fight sold. Beating Lemieux and beating Quillin got both guys a lil exposure after the vicious Lemieux ko so both can thank Lemieux lol.

GG is not entitled to 50% with Canelo either, and that's just based on numbers, but... If Canelo does not negotiate with GG and offers the "flat rate fee" of 15 mil dollars, I'm going to **** on Canelo more than ever before. TBH i don't think that it's Canelo. I think that Dlh has been a hinderance since this whole charade began.
