Towards the end of [url]this article[/url] Arum spouts some numbers. ".............But it made more financial sense for Top Rank to broadcast the event independently, since HBO charges a 10 percent fee on each broadcast, Arum said. A typical PPV broadcast might generate 200,000 buys, which works out to about $4 million (once you subtract the amount given to cable and satellite providers), Arum said. HBO would then get $400,000. For big fights, it makes sense to involve HBO because the network will usually pay around $1 million for the delay, which allows them to replay the fight. That works out to a tidy profit for Top Rank." I don't know what the gate will be, but it was reported that 70% of the 7,000 seat Youngstown venue will be $100 or less.

Because it's a mismatch, even by HBO's standards. But I'd pay for a ticket in Youngstown, the crowd and the support will be absolutely amazing!
Yeah. Should be good in person. I didn't post this to rehash the PPV/FREE argument. I just thought the logistics of the thing was an interesting read.
