Mundine earns $5k for beating McKart

Ticker tape for Ash in Brissy's what i hear :yep

 

:yep:happy

 

I doubt he will fight in america again. PPV numbers will give a true figure of what he earned but still its pretty **** poor considering his past earnings. As ive already mention, i suspect this USA fight was only a ploy to increase his PPV numbers back here in AUS. In USA he cant give the undercard fighters tickets as payment.

 

Dan Rafael has been quoted as saying gate takings were $15,235.50 from 286 tickets sold.

Either your 1300-1400 crowd estimate is totally wrong. Or 1100 of them got in for free

 

There is absolutely no way they got anywhere near 10000 buys including pubs and clubs.
I'd be surpsied if they got half that.

 

I think this cleary explains whay mundine has been fighting in Aus for years there is zero money in the game ....its a job after all.

 

There def was more than 1000 at fight so the second option

 

After selling a paultry 256 tickets they've thrown the doors open in a desparate attempt to trick the TV audience into thinking there was interest in the fight

 

Only one pub in albury bought the fight and they were lucky to have 10 people in there watching the fight, so they lost money on it, its why alot of the other pubs and clubs no longer put on his fights. I think it costs them around 2,500 to put it on at a pub or club. They try to recoup the money from food and beverage sales.

 

Ppl have been saying this kinda stuff for 10 years....

 

Read recently that Mundine has averaged around 10,000 PPV buys. Even if it has dropped off a bit with the novelty of a USA fight getting a bit of press I would thinki it would do around 7,000.
The other positive is that Mundine didn't have all the costs associated with putting on the whole show. On that basis it was probably a good outcome financially.

 

I still find it insane it costs a pub $2500

Why so much?

 

The theory is the broacast will bring pubs enough additional patronage to generate in excess of the $2500 fee. But pubs sometimes take absolute hidings on the deal, particularly when poor quality fights are all they get in return for their fee.

 

You were right about the crowd being in excess of 1000. The Scene had this to say >>>

A total of 286 tickets were sold for this past Saturday’s middleweight bout between Anthony Mundine and Bronco McKart, according to figures provided by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Another 992 tickets were given out for free, and 672 went unsold.


:deal So 1278 attended. But only 286 of them actually paid.

 

normal Mundine fight

you would think at least 100 pubs over Aus would have bought..
