Sure PBC is willing to pay this because Haymon gets his cut and sings on his way to the bank, but when PBC is gone, fighters will get a very rude awakening when they go back to making 50k instead of 1 million.
    Now I've heard it all. This guy here is stressed because the fighters pay expectations is going to rise. Well I hope so. That means more.talent will.be attracted to the sport deepening the pool.and improving the product.

      Khan cud by Broners life 100 times over...

      and Khan delivered high ratings for Spike,
      ... So, "Khan is worth over 40 mil"? In case this is true, Khan should retire tomorrow... I'm not joking.

        People are forgetting that Andre ward and David Lemiuex was fighting at the same time. Broner would have drawn well over 3-4 million.....

          Its a valid critique though. Rising purses would be awesome, if they were sustainable. But they are not, at least not by any company not willing to eat multi-million dollar losses per event, and at the moment there are only 2 of those, PBC and ROC.

          Example: Andre Ward just got $2 million to fight a slob, and ROC actually had to buy the airtime on BET, as well as paper the arena with free tickets to make it look full on tv. How does that scenario benefit anyone except Andre Ward? Do you honestly think he's going to fight a live body for $2 million, or $3 million, or even $5 million, when he can basically just do "bag work" against a dummy for $2 mil?

          But the underlying issue here is not how much money Andre Ward (or anyone else) makes. What the exact number is I dont care. But if that number makes it unlikely or impossible for BETTER matchups to be made because of the money, THATS where I have an issue with it......

            People aren't forgetting anything. Because Broner fought first and Ward and Lemieux fought afterwards, simultaneously... In fact, Ward was aired by Sky Sports 1 (in the UK) -- the same channel which previously aired Broner. So...

              Would have, could have, should have... if my aunt had a **** she'd be my uncle. Or Caitlyn Jenner.

              The only thing that matters is what IS, and those number ******. They are what they are and cannot be spun otherwise.

                Yup... boxing was knocked on it's ass by GOLF.
                Could be because in the last 20 + years Boxing is 90% mismatches on tv

                  Surprisingly low. I was expecting double.

                  PBC needs to work on its production. Let the fighters walk with their posses, add a ring announcer. These things add to the big fight feeling. All the PBC fights seem to blend into each other. There is no reason Spence-Lo Greco should feel as important as Broner-Porter.

                      How are those numbers terrible we went through this in the other thread compare them to other sports and it is not exactly far off.

                      That is what is NBA averages like 3.6 million on National, Hockey average like 1.6 million on National. And baseball averages like 2.1
