Minus the TV cut and both headliners getting 7 figure paydays the card broke even at best on top of this PBC are known to inflate numbers so my guess is it’s 100k tops
Nothing wrong with Lubin as an opponent. And Jarrett Hurd is a good call. They are both excellent opponents who boxing fans will be interested in seeing Small Charlo face. I think you're right about whoever is WBO champ needing a couple of profile-building wins before they are worthy of facing the unified champ. The fight is there for Small Charlo when it suits. It's not a fight he needs to chase at the present moment in time. Another good opponent for Big Charlo would be Jaime Munguia who the WBC will likely install as their new #1 contender. In fact, I think he's a great opponent & will prove to be a real challenge. Mexican Mungo has grown big & strong on that Mexican beef & will take some beating.
Surprisingly high numbers for such a ridiculous price. That doesn't bode well for upcoming events, as they probably won't reduce the price now.
It took both Charlos on the same card to do even do these kinda numbers, but they think they are stars in their own right! They're not!
UFC also has a core audience, big events and they are with ESPN. Charlo bros were put on SHO. Btw, I am pretty sure that the reported 100k is just SHO PPV sales. So they likely made some more with various worldwide deals. It was also on Fite.tv for a reasonable price. Fite has like 2million users.
Jermell should go after the WBO belt, but it won´t be next. Lubin is the WBC mandatory if I am not mistaken. And Teixeira has been mandated to fight Brian Castano. The winners should definitely unify asap.
Dominicans and Ukrainians are always going to dip their hands into their pockets to support their own and the undercard was stacked with Mexicans (Nery and Alameda), Mexican-Americans (Roman and Figueroa), a Filipino (Casimero), another Dominican (Payano), and they even had a Russian and a Ghanaian on the card to give it an even more international feel and to try and attract those markets.
