I don't think Crawford-Spence going to sell too well on PPV...

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I know demand is high for tickets cause its a big fight for boxing fans. Convo is about PPVs. The big ppvs 1m+ are cause they atttact a lot of casual audience. I agree with the post i know a lot of people who don't watch boxing regular who watched Wilder Fury but they don't know about Spence vs Crawford

Ticket demand often reflects PPV sales. Look at Tank-Garcia for example, the first indicator we got for the magnitude of the fight was the crazy demand for tickets.

I think Spence-Crawford will easily surpass 500k buys.

It is increasingly rare to see a fight get anywhere near 1 million PPVs today. The stars just aren't there, and people are unwilling to pay $70-$85 for a fight with garbage undercards. Piracy also lends itself to lower numbers. PBC hasn't built any stars on their own and Crawford and Spence aren't exactly charismatic, they are hard to sell on talent alone. There's also no villain or good guy on this card, it's two good guys--with Spence having the tribal fanbase built into PBC.

If PBC hasn't built any stars then who has in these past 8 years? You are dumb as fck

Same here. I’ve been hyping this up to people I know who have at least some interest in boxing and zero people know either guy. Which is a shame. This is the kind of fight you want new fans to watch. Hard to see this not being an electric fight and atmosphere.

In the previous era both these guys would have been built up by the HBO machine and they would have done an easy 1 million plus buys.
Now most sports fans have never heard of Crawford and Spence isn’t much of a bigger name.

Imo , the fight will live up to expectations
That’s pretty much what I give a fugh about
You can bring the horse to the well but you can’t force him to drink
Same goes for the casuals
It’s hard to respect a sport that doesn’t respect itself

I,ll go out on a limb I think its going to do well for the period we are in, be better if they were more reasonable with the price but the way the arena sold out in a day indicates it should do ok, I believe there is a floating million buyers of boxing for the really big ones and I just think this might get close, hope it does the more the better for boxing.

350k buys is a great success for this garbage fight.

Why do boxing fans care if a fight does good payper view numbers? Just shut the **** up and watch

Hey dude, I'm normally the one who says this in all of these type of threads, but I think you missed what I was getting at with this. Mostly regarding, if there is a lack of success with this, it will give promoters an excuse to continue having their fighters avoid the best and risk having their marquee fighter take the "L", when they can remain undefeated and continue to fight stiffs for decent paychecks. Why the risk if there is no rewards?

That is where I think this fight is going to be under a magnifying glass when it comes to promoters with their undefeated fighters and their willingness to put them in against equal opposition that can risk taking away their fighters "0". The magical "0" that comes with better paychecks and **** competition.

Tank and Spence are 2 of the 3 biggest draws in the US you incel

Has Top Rank or Golden Boy been able to create anyone bigger than those two in the past 8 years? I'll wait
