The Entire Top Rank PPV Cost Half As Much As Berto's Purse...

I was wrong about this card. It seems TR did a great job with this card.

yeah, was a tremendous card

Im a berto fan but he aint worth 1m a fight especially against a bum. That was the easiest 1m anyone ever made.

But Gatti was worth 1.5 to $2 mil per fight ? facing bums?

bunch of idiots at HBO

gatti had a good fanbase, berto doesnt

Gatti was an established draw that could sell out Atlantic city and had built up an impressive body of work.

Berto has literally done nothing.


Sorry ass comparison.

ya i think he was ... or to say the least it was more justified. cause he had an actual fan following in both viewers and in paid attendance. so theyd have to secure him somehow. berto has neither

How did his fanbase benefit HBO's pocket when they bought his fights?

Gatti was a regional gate fighter.

Please explain to me how butts in the seats at Boardwalk Hall provided an ROI to HBO.

You guys fail to understand that it is about ROI.

I'm not saying that Berto provides a robust ROI. He doesn't. but neither did Gatti. Nor Shane.

People want to see him. I didn't even follow boxing when he was fighting and I knew who he was, and so do many people.

If someone has a big following that = more HBO subscriptions.
