Rick Glaser at it again says Wilder PPV # is lies. Did 278K buys

[Larry the boss]

not sure why this is even news worthy....still a good number for them

Let's just say he tracks PPV buys by how many of his facebook friends purchased it. I will leave it at that. You can decide for yourself how reliable he is lol.

What's funny is he got ran off Twitter a couple of years ago. He couldn't handle it. He sticks to Facebook where he can control things and people treat him like a legitimate source

Still more than I thought it would do and the fight was good so the rematch should do a little better even

IIRC, Lou Dibella reported him and got his account banned. He would always go after Dibella for "stiffing" him of like $7,500 bucks or something lol.

Even if the count is at 278k right now, that means it'll end up around 320-325k once the smaller systems have reported in. Takes months to count all the buys.

Is it?

$20.85m from PPV going from the highest price point of 75.00 (so being generous) between supposedly the most prestigious belt holder and lineal champion, along with all the controversy and good talking.

This fight got outsold by Cotto/Margarito 2 and Martinez vs Chavez Jr. 4 PPVs broke the 1m mark in the past 18 months in the US so the market is still there.

And can I ask you something? If AJ was supposed to earn $50m from a Wilder fight it would need 1.4m buys at $75.00 just to break even right, that's without even paying Wilder yet.

Where are those extra 1.1m buyers coming from if AJ is so unknown and we've already had the biggest fight in the division?

The fact is that Wilder and Fury both got paid significantly less for this fight (the biggest fight in the division apparently) than Joshua did fighting Parker (at least $20m+).

Doesn't sound like a huge success to me. It's on par with some of the worst UFC cards.

How credible is this guy?

As credible as you want him to be.

Whatever favors your fighter, or doesn't favor a fighter you dislike is what you'll choose to believe with him.

So much wrong with this post.

On par with some of the worst UFC cards? No, there have been multiple UFC cards in the 100k range this year and some in the low 200s.

Four PPVs broke the 1 million mark the last 18 months. Great, those four PPVs involved Canelo/McGregor/Mayweather. Those are literally the biggest stars in the game right now.

Cotto/Margarito outsold it? WOW!!!!!! Cotto one of the biggest draws of his generation that did over a million PPV buys like four or five times in his career??? That Cotto??? What a shame that a fight involving him out did Wilder/Fury.

So are you going to ignore how much the fight would have generated in the UK and the live gate? If it took place in Vegas as expected, it would have done over $10 million at the gate, would have done close to, if not surpass a million PPV buys in the UK, made ton in international revenues/sponsorships and would have done close a million PPV buys. It didn't need to do 1.4 million to get Joshua his $50 million.

It was expected people like yourself were going to dog the numbers of this fight.

He claims to have all these "inside sources".

Rick Glaser sound like a movie character name
