Paulie vs The Goat Lobov Allegedly Did 200k Buys

I wouldn’t bet on it
Today’s society is too outspoken for it to become somewhat popular
The minute someone gets hurt or their’s to much blood , that will be the end of it , imo

I worry about this with boxing all the time moving into the future. I think the way we are going as a PC nerf the world soceity it ends combat sports & any too violent-ish sport (like Football) as we know them. Thats why I think VR technology completely flips sports on its head cuz that'll be the safe way to "compete" in dangerous sports we currently play or even more dangerous sports or things we don't compete in or do.

That said I think there might be such a strong & loyal audience for fighting today that keeps things as is for quite awhile.

But I don't think it'd be a bad idea to revisit problems with any sport including boxing & I think not unlike us looking back on those Dempsey days when you could hit a guy as he was getting up I think a guy getting hurt in the ring is gonna auto-end a fight at some future date cuz all the science says the most dangerous injuries

... There's sometimes much blood in pro boxing too...

Your absolutely right but bare knuckle looks more dramatic

This was the biggest fight of the year for me, that is how it felt.

I enjoyed the entire build up, and plot to the fight.

People are intrigued or somewhat attracted to danger 'Men kind of relate to it on a primal level, and women are all excited by it at times'. It is why motor sport and formula 1, was so romanticized in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

The danger element of Bare Knuckle Fighting/Boxing is actually what is going to make it grow as a sport. 'It is intriguing the archaic form of boxing'.

No combat sports are safe.

BKFC 6 PPV Numbers Fall Well Short Of Promotion’s Estimate

By Cole Shelton

Earlier this week, Dave Feldman had some good news about his latest event and the pay-per-view numbers it drew. At BKFC 6, Artem Lobov took on Paulie Malignaggi which generated a ton of interest, and Feldman had a high estimate for the card.

“We got our digital numbers right away,” Feldman told MMA Junkie. “In April, we did a certain amount, and in June, we did six times that digitally. It’s given us a gauge that we’re going to end up at the 200,000 line.”

Yet, it was not even close to 200,000 or even 20,000 according to pay-per-view expert Dave Meltzer. He reports on MMA Fighting that BKFC 6 did 18,000 PPV buys, a big difference between the 200,000 Feldman estimated.

Melzter goes on to say the estimate was greatly exaggerated and goes on to say:

“Based on industry estimates, the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships look to have done in the range of 18,000 buys on traditional television pay-per-view. Digital numbers for FITE TV are unavailable, but it is extremely rare that a pay-per-view event that airs on television does nearly the same number on digital. The BKFC show is believed to have done well based on the standards of a FITE TV broadcast, but unless it’s a giant UFC or boxing event, doing even 25,000 buys on Internet pay-per-view is a rarity,” he says.

Obviously it a huge disappointment for BKFC as they were putting on their biggest card and fight of their history. And, it did not deliver on pay-per-view numbers.

Ok, so he added a zero. Simple mistake, anyone could have done it
