What kind of PPV figures would PBF get if fighting in UK...????

who the **** cares? stop trying to stir up nationalistic bull****.

 

I dont get the question the gate would of course be much larger in the UK , but are you suggesting that if the fight took place in the UK but at US time the PPV would be lower ? Why ? Are you suggesting that despite the fight being shown at US time people wouldn't buy it as it came form the UK ??? I refuse to beleive that, I've been to the states loads of times and depite some of the poster here trying to prove Americans are w*nks I know that not to be true.

If I'm missing the point I'm sorry but I really dont get this one ! :think

 

if it was held in the uk, but at the same time shown ppv in the US it would probably make more. but i dont think floyd would be as game for that unless he took more of the purse. HBO probably would do it if the production cost, manpower, materiel etc...were more or less the same as im the states.

 

This has already been explained a millions times. Fights held in Vegas do not depend on the gate for their money (although the tickets do typically cost a lot and they make decent money from them), they depend on the site paid by the casino. See the Casino figures if 17,000 people fly into town to see a fight they are not coming for just 4 hours to see the card and then leaving. These people will probably stay for at least a weekend and they will need a place to stay and they will need **** to do while they are not at the fight.

They will spend money eating, watching other shows, gettin massages and most importantly they will lose their balls gambling. The Casino recognizes this and thus puts up a large site fee to have the fight at their casino which makes up for the smaller gate. Trust me, we have large stadiums in the states too, if it made sense to have more people pay at the gate, that's what would happen more often.

 

:huh

 

Calzaghe vs Kessler got 300,000 new subscriptions for the channel that was showing it.

I reckon 10,000 max! less for Hopkins. It all depends who there fighting.

Tyson vs Holyfield 1 and 2 i am pretty sure the only PPV fights in britain not to involve a british fighter. De La Hoya vs Mayweather was free!

 

I think it's pretty certain they would sell 80,000 tickets at Wembley over here but I'm glad they're fighting in Vegas to be honest. It has that extra glamour and tradition that you don't really get over here.

 

he ****ing deserved it, he has hidden motives :twisted:

 

ohhhh!:twisted::|

 

The US fighter would get taxed at such a higher rate if the fight was in the UK that it still wouldn't be worth it. That's the REAL underlying reason why most of the bigger US fighters won't go there to fight.

 

You know I am not sure that boxing is popular enough over here to fill those places up unless the tickets were offered at near giveaway prices.

 

pretty standard response from you, insult after insult after insult.

no, there is not more money in it, happy?
