    You've got to at least give it to Glaser that he's consistent. I can't remember the last time I've seen an estimate come out where he wasn't the lowest, no matter who's fighting :lol:

    A Kazakh and a Canuck made their PPV debuts the night of a Cubs-Mets playoff game and managed to turn a profit on that portion of revenue alone.

    You'll forgive me for thinking you're a touch insane to consider it a failure.

    And Notre Dam/USC... one of the most anticipated college football games of the season. That's what the rest of my family was watching besides those who were with me at the fight :lol:

    I don't see the point in using numbers from unofficial sources, the official number is 150k, whether it may be a lie or not due to it coming from the promoter is irrelevent, it's the only primary source we have..

    Either way, to answer your question it is not, even if you used 97k, of course you can go lower and use the first speculative number from a Twitter souce which is 50k then yes, it's the worst flop in history.

    Its no excuse. It's a legimate concern that many true fans of the sport feel.

    And stop with that "your boy" nonsense. I'm not a kid like many people on here whos only interest in boxing it seems is to have a few favourite fighters and then come online and troll fans of other fighters.

    I support certain fighters, usually due to geography or if they are a decent person outside of the ring. Other than that i respect all boxers and will watch any fight. So please don't class me with the pathetic rabble of whinging, arguing girls that you get on this site who are only interested in one upmanship.
