More PPV Sales: Floyd-Berto or GGG-Lemieux

I dont think all publicity is good, all the time. In this case.. I think a PED story, if it is really "mainstream", might just increase the buyers remorse of those who bought May 2nd.

As far as more PPV sales go, I am surprised at the outcome as well... I dont really see how its possible GGG could outdo Floyd in that regard. While ticket sales are a good indicator of PPV success, I think its important to factor the tickets for GGG are much less expensive and the fight is in a much, much larger metro area.

Theres 24 million people in the greater NYC metro area, and another 20 odd million an extra hours drive/rail away. A lot easier to fill an arena at 1/3 ave ticket cost than a relatively sp****ly populated place like Vegas where so much of the money has to fly in and make an event of it.

Something Duva would have, IMO, done better to be mindful of when figuring out where to put Kovalev. (whose relative popularity to GGG is less mostly due to keeping him in casinos as opposed to marketing to fans in arenas. K2's promotional job with GGG is vastly underrated)

 

canelo vs angulo did 350 something buys

cotto vs martines did similar

Golovkin should be compared to these numbers

 

which you comparing?

 

Unfair comparison IMO, Floyd takes it easy.

It makes it seem as you're underestimating Floyd's drawing power and overestimating Golovkin's. Also a bait thread for GGG hardcore fans who don't have a clue to vote for Golovkin, who won't come close to any of Floyd's numbers from the last 8 years. Makes no sense whatsoever to vote GGG-Lemieux.

Golovkin's PPV sales should be compared to Martinez-Cotto or Martinez-Chavez Jr, plus consideration that Golovkin is actually trying his luck as A-side for his first time out on PPV vs Martinez who had two cash cows as A-sides.

A more fair comparison would involve an under/over for each of GGG-Lemieux & Floyd-Berto. Set the expected baselines for both and have people predict relative success. Something along the lines of 900K for Floyd and 275K for Golovkin.

Just sayin.

"PPV industry source on #MayweatherBerto numbers tells me they're very poor relatively speaking. 'Being generous is might hit 550,000 buys.'"

We'll see if GGG can beat that.

 

I would say Floyd has the upper hand when it comes to selling PPV fights even it may look bad against Berto. Some people will buy the fight.

If GGG vs Lemieux got 500k, that's very good for first PPV fight.

 

If Golovkin can get 400K against Floyd's 500K... That'll be huge.

 

The ppv is 30 dollars cheaper lol

 

Oh yeah, true. But still for Gennady Golovkin, a foreigner, who still struggles w/ English, has only been in America for 3 years, against an opponent who is unknown by casuals, in his FIRST PPV... that's still a huge success.

I mean 60$ HD PPV (Cuz I mean, who's not going to buy HD which will probably be 10 dollar extra) and with 400,000$ buys... that's an extra 24,000,000$ in pockets. Right? I'm atrocious at math so you may want to verify.

 

Around 300k is great imao.
