    I think they're inflated more, honestly. I mean we never here actual numbers like we do for a live gate, where 15,327 might be in attendance.

    I'm not sure if they ever even have access to an exact number. I think they're largely estimates based on past trends when the early providers tally whatever it is they tally. That was why, I believe I had read, that Pac-Floyd numbers were initially being over inflated, because they were being based on past trends, and Floyd-Pac wasn't "typical" in terms of the massive crossover appeal.

    Is there any evidence he undershoots, other than his word vs Team Golovkin's word?

    So if he said 97k and Loeffler said 150k, and now he's saying 332k, does that mean Canelo-Khan did 493k? :think

    Ggg lemme did 150k+ and that's a fact, the troll that continues to lie i the face of a fact is a troll of the lowest caliber.

    Still shat #'s but first ever ppv for a fighter brand new to most of the world isn't a loss.

    Ppv should be strictly super fights or totally stacked cards with ggg v good , spence v good and AJ or DW v good. That's a real ppv.

    If it's not totally stacked at least ggg canelo and v ward or Kovalev. Or reg HBO both kovalev next tuneup and wards next tuneup to get everyone on board.

    Ppv should only have the highest level of fighters and in good matchups , at the very least.

    I understand ggg v canelo, 2 elite fighter's going at it for the real championship, I'd also understand smg like AJ v DW or ortiz or even haye. All legit high skill level fighter's.

    But fmj v berto, i mean last fight and all but hell, i already Pay for the good channels, hate paying extra fees with no happy endings. But fmj v berto still doubled the every non fmj ppv in years, except canelo v cotto, those were equals.

    Pac v Bradley never ever belonged on a ppv card, first joke of a fight with a scared to fight pac and a petrified bradley.

    Pac was coming off a ppv where he fought to survive, not to win. Hell, he hardly fought to win against bradley. 2 fighters way out of the real best top 10, maybe top 20 current fighters and its ppv, lucky so many are bombing.

    Gunny how a bombed fmj ppv now is a massive success and huge stars are born or reborn. Idk, i just got suckered in to watching degale fight like dog**** against a C- level fighter, and he hardly beat bute the fight before, for crying out load.

    Then jack beats up bute in a routine win. And cereal jackmaster are crying because ggg wont leave a way stronger division to go fight in the weakest division in boxing since the mw reign bhops got to enjoy for eternity

    Even h2h mw would pummel smw something terrible.
    Theres no one at smw who could ( not would but could) hang tight with ggg,jacobs,soon to find out quillin, canelo, cej, and even bjs.

    Jack is easily the best smw atm, i suspect he could possibly steal a decision or 2 if he got a chance at each on a bad night for them. Jack is obviously getting much better and he knows he needs to protect himself but i just dont think he has the ability to stay strong long enough to beat any of the top level fighters.

    He should be able to handle degale fairly easily but then what ? Fight Graves again, i nean groves who belongs in the boxing graves. I guess keep fighting washed up butes and pascals because NO ONE at 68 belongs anywhere near the bottom 10 of lhw..

    Smw, wasted division, should just rid it and keep it lw ww mw lhw and hw. That's ALL we really need. Weight cutting is fine if you can make a real division, just trashed one of my bois, but it's the truth

    Oscar said that Canelo-Khan would double Canelo-Cotto, which did 900K.

    I find it hard to believe they can accurately track every single PPV buy. Bars show the fights. Do they count all of those also? Then theres the hackers. But inflating PPV numbers is always done so the fighter can bring those numbers with his argument that hes the A side. :D

    A fact according to whom? GGG's team has claimed it was 150k, but HBO never made an official release. So how would we know for sure?

    Let's hope they are real bad, which will light a fire under Oscar's ass to get a fight with 3G made.

    I don't think the numbers are inflated when HBO makes an official release (which they usually don't these days, if they ever did at all).
