    PBC fanboys claiming it did 500k per imaginary sources, and Glasier claiming 149k...okay that makes me quite confident it did around 250k which sounds about seems realistic.

    Never said they were crap. Kostya Tyzu was a great fighter and excellent world champion.

    The real issue here is not how many buys this ppv had exactly but that the matchup seemed like a gross mismatch before the fight and still it generated so many buys...

    Then you have great fights between eastern europeans, japanese and mexican fighters that are highly skilled with a great resume and exciting style that are 50-50 and all british and american fans lose interest apparently because it is impossible to identify with the fighters and because probably nobody slapped the other at the weigh-in and insulted each other...

    And the other problem - that apparently most of the money and ppvs come from those two countries...

    And the other problem for the sport - that most of the buys seem to come from those two countries

    It did not do anywhere near 500k buys. Not even close.

    With or without piracy they would have done the same numbers.

    80 bucks is ridiculously high for watching an event on TV. Nobody wants to watch their show for that money, they can't deal with it and blame piracy.

    :lol: Little unhinged are we M.S.? I don't give a damn about Reid. well, you support a ****** felon, but you aren't trash.

    Serious question, why is almost always the GOP who gets indicted for crimes or outed as child molesters if the dems are the corrupt and trashy ones?

    I might bother to look for it later, but someone last year posted a long ass list of Democrats getting caught for pedo activities, most of it being recent. It´s clearly and issue on both sides, but ones perception might wary based on news sources.

    You aren't wrong. Most American news sources are BS. I usually go by Reuters, NPR, or BBC.

    Turki changed the game. I'm not paying $80 bucks to watch lightweights when Turki is stacking cards with heavyweights for $20-30

    Lawfare. Have you been awake the last 8 years? When i talk about trash, I'm talking about the trash politions. The swamp. Those who watch the propaganda networks are willing victims though.

    Not surprised, it wasn't a compelling match up. Given how competitive it was Maybe the rematch would do better. I'm more likely to buy the rematch than I was to buy the first flight.
