Comments Thread For: Canelo-Jacobs Generates Nearly $8.7 Million, 15,730 Ticket Sold

[champion4ever]

This Canelo deal is going to turn out to be worse than CBS's deal with Floyd...

Canelo made $35 million himself. Can we confirm that the fight even made $35 mil in total?

The total gross revenue for this fight in 9 countries combined was only $57 mil; Which compared to the total gross revenue of the $94 mil that the Canelo/Golovkin rematch made last year in the U.S. Alone.

However, the production cost for the Main Event of the Canelo/Jacobs fight was $50 mil. So it's safe to say that DAZN didn't make a lot of money or possibly even lost money on this Canelo/Jacobs card in general.

Saul is not white & doesnt have any privilege at all especially when the white media names Loma #1P4P. People of color who are boxing fans see how El Canelo is racially profiled just like Floyd was, that is why most were happy when Triple Fraud got destroyed while saving Hopkin's (a man you mock) record at the same time

If Triple L has so many fans like you & that Clown Boxing Logic says he does then why did he only do 170,000k against Jacobs?🤣

'Location: Europe home of boxing😂

Not white

Exhibit A: Person of colour


Exhibit B: Canelo's less whiter twin

Big loss short term for DAZN

you can disregard the ticket sales for that goes to the promotor. Dazn pays GBP for the rights to air Canelo's fights. And the casino's pay i believe pitch in to right the site fee to hose the fight at Tmobile with the idea the fight brings high rollers to vegas where they recoup their investment. DAZN hopefully recoups their investment from subscriptions. I could be wrong

ESPN reported the fight generated over 48M in revenue from new subscription's for DAZN which is more then what they paid Canelo and Jacobs combined. This was about the top 30 live gate in Vegas history. For a guy who combined with GGG drew 3.7M in live gate Revenue. Jacobs is not a draw you basically hit these numbers all because of Canelo.

Decent numbers, but I have a feeling that the gate for AJ vs. Ruiz will be even higher.

It won't. People keep getting hung up on attendance and aren't looking at the ticket prices. Floyd broke every revenue record and did it off paid attendance numbers typically in the 14-15,000 tickets sold range. I think only like 2 of Floyd's vegas fights ever had even cracked 16,000. He set the alltime record at this same T-Mobile venue with ONLY 13,094 in tickets sold. Joshua could have a 100% sell out with zero comps in his fight with Ruiz and he still won't touch these Canelo numbers. He had big stadium fights in the UK that don't touch these Canelo numbers. Canelo ticket prices are MUCH higher which is why other then Floyd nobody is doing these numbers. Manny Pacquiao and Broner are both bigger names and draws then Jacobs is and combined they did only 6M in revenue from ticket sales. Joshua if they don't give away a lot of tickets will likely do somewhere in the 3-4M range for tickets sold in his next fight. It won't do even half what Canelo just did.

The ticket prices for the two fights are actually very, very similar.

Canelo/Jacobs: $105, $205, $305, $405, $605, $805, $1,205, $1,505, $2,505, plus taxes

Joshua/Ruiz: $106, $156, $206, $306, $406, $506, $756, $1,006, $1,256 and $2,506, plus taxes

Such a small venue, why can't Yanks actually sell out a stadium? AJ does it every fight no matter who he fights, guess steroid cheats aren't that popular state side.

In the absence of a healthy hbo, the only venue that can create stars is one that reaches the most casual and sports fans that would be FOX, Showtime, and ESPN. And I, not the ESPN app that’s for us die hard sports fans who want to see boxing, mma, college hoops, and other sports.

In theory they can. But can they realllllllly is my question & to some degree my concern. I mean I guess at some point someone has to be risen to the star level, but I see the fighter &/or the promoter doing that more than a platform is doing that.

Thinking about it I guess HBO was a partner on making GGG bigger, but I think GGG himself & Tommy L the promoter were intelligent in how they moved & marketed themselves that probably was the greater impact made with casuals to make GGG a legit name in boxing with people who don't watch boxing as often as most of us do.
