Rick Glaser haters in here right NOW

[brettWall]

Oh man you don't have to use Glaser to prove your point. All you have to use is common sense. Anyone who believes PPVs are still being sold in massive numbers is not only a moron but a total complete idiot.

All anyone has to do to find out is stand around a large group of passersby and ask them if they bought Canelo's last fight. And this is Canelo mind you, not some Lara, Thurman, or some nobody. Go and ask them. Then go and stand in another location and do the same thing. You yourself know not one in your circle of family, friends and acquaintances is buying PPVs in the first place so why do you believe in these fake figures?

Or how about if you know someone who is a social media sensation and got millions of followers, ask him/her to conduct a survey if people buy PPVs. He/she would be lucky to find 1,000 let alone 100,000. It's all fantasy.

And why is it that only expensive PBC fights has numbers while cheaper none-PBC ones got none? It's because none-PBC fans and reporters don't bother lying, while the other has to.

That in and of itself is anomalous. In reality, fans can't distinguish the relative sizes of so-called "big fights." They're all the same with the exception of Ryan vs Haney fight, at least in the last 2 years. That fight was hyuuge simply because of its controversial nature from pre-fight to post-fight. It took many weeks before the viral-ness of it on social media died down. How can such fight lack reported ppv numbers?

Man even the Prograis vs Haney was huge, just one example out of many more. It's no different from any. Fans saw the pre-fight confrontation between fighters, their corners, the face-offs. It also got the "people watch to see someone lose" element in it. So how can such fight have no reported ppv number? The question is already answered. Only few people in general buy ppv's. That's the bottom line. Only difference is one side don't bother lying while the other has to.

Haney vs Prograis fight was not successful from what I recall
The arena wasn’t even sold out ( 12000 ) for a homecoming of sorts
The ppv didn’t sell either cause both these guys don’t have that kind of fans

Not easy for people to admit they watch every fight for free regardless of how they do it. So, unfortunately for us who just want to prove fakeness there is no way to verify the reported numbers' authenticity. Practically any average Joe can throw any number... The fact that there's no reported number in one of the most controversial fights in history (Garcia/Haney) is already very telling. The media bias exists in broad daylight.
