    it never ends with these clowns

    they swear they hear something from an executive and its true when it supports their stance or fighter...but when Espinoza was saying he was happy with things it was a lie and no way they could be making money ....

    when Floyd was making business decisions it didn't matter cause that stuff don't matter and fighters should make best fights and fight for legacy....it never ends with these clowns

    No it did not. Which is why no one talks about it and his next fight is free. GGG cannot get his fans to buy his fights unconditionally.

    Pac did 300,000 for Rios and Algieri.

    Mayweather did 500,000 for Berto, a fight everyone hated still did half a mil. Remember Black people don't buy PPV in accordance to top Hebrew Bob Arum.

    GGG hyped to the heavens. Fight was suppose to save boxing from May 7th. Hagler vs Hearns-esq fight for GGG vs Lemieux. HBO wants those UFC customers from Dana White but failed with this PPV.

    LMAO.

    97k PPVs sold is your definition of doing "fine"?

    You really ought to lay off the Crack pipe.

    Bumlovkin is a PPV FLOP, Einstein. Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles can see that...

    Spot on Shock master. Double standards for GGG. They don't even care about Pacquiao anymore.

    Based on what? You have to realise that some guys have vastly larger purses as well than GGG for some of these PPVs so for them, sure, 300k is minimum. GGG took 2 million or something as did Lemieux.

    You made the claim now prove that 300k is the breaking point, the ppv did 97k and that ggg got someone fired.

    Use numbers and facts and you might sway me.

    The Bumlovkin rats will abandon the USS Triple Duck as soon as that ship starts to sink. Seeing as dude is two weeks away from his 34th birthday, that ship will be sinking soon...

    Just correct -HBO which is a publicly traded company gave the the figure of 150 K buy rate for the GGG-Lemieux event.Secondly ,they also did close to 2 million in closed circuit and International rights fees combined.
    Sorry to get FACTS to correct your story.You may now carry on.

    Does HBO take a cut of that? :think I figured concessions and gate would mostly go to the venue with the cable provider taking a small cut.

    Anyone else think alot of Hershman being canned was due to the lack of HBO hype for the Pac vs Mayweather fight? They had "At Last" and some ****TY commercial....This was THE FIGHT and they didnt do **** because they had the idea "The fight will sell it's self", when in reality, the fight did sell it's self but they could have made a ton more, got people way more hyped, and instead sat on their asses.
    GGG vs Lemieux probably didnt hurt though haha

    Golovkin 97K was a ppv flop no doubt about it

    K2 was expecting 300k plus before the fight
    They had egg on their face so they told the media it was a success.

    GGG good fighter
    Bad for selling ppvs
