[Ziskinberg]

So now, we will wait what will be the official PPV numbers and it has somewhat around 500k-800k or even break the 1 million mark.

The numbers are already out, Errol Spence Jr. Vs Terence Crawford PPV Buys Reach 700k, Bring In $50 Million In Revenue

The highly anticipated boxing match between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. was a huge success, generating an estimated 700,000 pay-per-view buys and bringing in more than $50 Million in revenue. This is the highest number of buys for a boxing PPV since Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao in 2015.

You prediction is correct, the PPV buys is lower than the Garcia vs Davis fight but of course it's still a big success.

Nice numbers, yeah, it fall below the numbers of Garcia vs Davis, but this is still considered as a success and could be the second biggest fight for this year. As we have said, Crawford is not a PPV crowd drawer, but with Spence as his dance partner, getting into 700k buys is already huge for this two.

And obviously, the live gates and PPV has given them huge paycheck and most likely easy 10-20 million each for this boxers. And we are talking about the rematch, and majority says that it will be the same result. But who knows, at 154 lbs, Spence might be stronger.

Just about it, not about to hit 1 million but still good and a big success as you have said. So it's not a disappointment for others who thought that this is not going to be a blockbuster fight in terms of numbers.

I think what you meant though is that this is the biggest welterweight numbers since the fight of Floyd and Manny.

And it's hard to beat the numbers of Ryan Garcia vs Tank Davis, this two has a huge following and all hype before the actual fight.

most of the time, their respective promoters also contribute to the degree of success of the fight. if they know how to sell the fight , they know the tactics how to sell those tickets and their PPVs. but of course, it is the followers of the boxers themselves have the major influence on how they will hit those numbers.
but to be honest, i thought this fight will surpass the PPV buys of Garcia vs. Davis fight, as many fans are also looking forward on this match. remember, in this forum alone, we have so much discussion about this fight long time ago.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^ They already is under pressure on the numbers that Tank and Ryan has put up in their fight and I doubt that even if it is the biggest fight at 147 lbs since the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, it will still be second best for this year.

But it's a biggest for Spence and Crawford and they should thank themselves for having this great numbers as pay-per-view and those who watch their fight live even if the price is steep.

Me too, I was in the impression that since it's been waited for many years, it will surpass that last record from the fight between Tank and Ryan.

Though that numbers still profitable for both camps and the promoters, maybe the excitement
from the fans is no longer that hot. Maybe a rematch will bring more money if both camps will
negotiate and sign another deal to attract the fans' and viewers' supports.

Just like what I said in the previous discussions, I'm already expecting an average PPV buys because after all, this fight will be watched by people around the world as it's been waited for several years before it finally happened. But since we are in the modern age now, having over 1 Million PPV buys will be too much too ask, even Canelo Alvarez will have a hard time having that these days because in every fight night, the bout can almost be watched for free without paying for the PPV as there will be some streamers that will offer a free streaming in-exchange for some donation and note, that is just voluntary.
Now if we compare it to the old days where there was no internet, only television and cable, we can sure expect that big fights like these will go over 1 Million PPV buys.

No doubt it was highly anticipated.  Unifying those belts and the career win that Crawford needed to solidify his legacy.  Doesn't take much anymore though the decent boxing matches that are worth ppv have gone dramatically so when one pops up it will get more hits than it would have in the past.  Worth the price on this one.  I will buy round 2 of this fight.

I guess everyone is waiting for round 2. But there are also boxing pundits that says that a rematch is not needed as it was overwhelming performance. However, if the fight is 154 lbs in which fans of Spence says that he was weight drain at 147 lbs and Crawford knows it, could be a different outcome.

So for me if there is a rematch, the numbers might not be as close as the first one. Even the GGG vs Canelo rematch was way below in revenues in terms of PPV as compare to the first one, if I'm not mistaken.

It was really a solid win for Crawford and he had predicted that he will deal Spence his first lost and that's why he really wanted to pursue this. Although the first negotiation broke down. But according to Spence he is the one very instrumental to get this fight going.

And perhaps it was really due to the big money in the table for the two of them that they can't resists.

Very interesting as well to note that two of the biggest fight for this year comes from PBC.

The hype they created had really made the fight more profitable. That particular fight was rumored many times before it finally happened, so when it became official, people were happy, and they eagerly booked the fight. The revenue was good, but the fight was supposed to be a close one, so they would make the fans want to see more, like a rematch. Unfortunately for Spence, he looked unprepared during the fight as his game plan didn't work against a faster and probably stronger Crawford.

That's one of the reasons, but even if they didn't hype the fight that much, people would still watch it since it's an undisputed fight, and the winner will make history. It was a success, although it's not the biggest in terms of revenue (gate entrance and PPV), because the fans who watched were satisfied.

Usually, when the favorite to win actually wins the fight, that also makes the majority of the fans happy.

I'm sure Spence's career is not over yet; he can still fight, so let's wait for his next move. If I were to be asked, I would like him to move up and forget his losses to Crawford. A new weight class means new challenges for him, and I think he will be more comfortable in a heavier division.

No need to be pressured by the Tank-Garcia figures as it was boxing and a celebrity fight. Tank and Spence are on the same level of fans although it also means something because Spence is a unified champion while Tank is not even a champion for many years already. But Kingry is just too popular, he has no championship experience yet the casuals flocked and bought his biggest fight to date.

The numbers aren't final yet, it could be 650k or 700k. More like Jake Paul's first fight against a real boxer had higher PPV buys at 800k. Spence is not a trash talker while Bud seems not trying to make Spence mad or he's probably worried that Spence might cancel the fight. But still, it's a big successful fight, it should be able to generate at least $80 million in revenue. Crawford and Spence can take home $20 to $30+ million each. And the legacy of that fight is more worth than the money since they're all rich multi-millionaires anyway. Bud became the first-ever 2-division undisputed champion in this 4-belt era. This fight will live forever and will be watched by future generations to come than May-Pac and May-McGregor.

[Questat]

This fight will live forever and will be watched by future generations to come than May-Pac and May-McGregor.

True, because it was an entertaining fight. Although May-Pac and May-McGregor both generated a lot of money, any fight involving Mayweather is known to be boring, and it seems like the fans are robbed. However, they didn't learn and still watched Mayweather's fights. Probably, they were hoping that Mayweather would lose, but it didn't happen, as Mayweather is just too good and knows how to dominate his opponents. Even Pacman in their fight looked amateur, LOL.

It's not yet too late for him to get a fresh start and not yet his time to start considering for a retirement, it's just a single loss and almost every boxer goes through that trouble. And just like how others describe this scenario, it's not about the loss, it's about how would they figure out the things to keep moving after such loss.

And as for Crawford, it's okay for him to fight Spence in a rematch that will be contested at 154 because either way, he will move up towards that division. It will be a win-win scenario because he doesn't have any belts to lose in that division.

In fact, I didn't see any of Mayweather's fights where he doesn't have any advantage over his opponent. It's true that he got some warriors in his record but it's either his opponents were too young or too old just like when he fought Canelo and then Pacquiao. Overall, he might be undefeated, but I don't think that he's the best boxer ever just like how he used to call himself.

For him (Mayweather), is always a win. Whatever the people think of it, as long as it was clearly declared or announced nothing can be change, he retired as a champ without a loss.

beating a young Canelo and an aging Pacquiao, though as a fighter, there's no excuse when you lose the fight,
Mayweather will forever earn that glory after he retired his gloves.

Moving back to the topic, Spence, if ever decide to take another shot, he can still try to regain his glory unlike
with Mayweather, both Alvarez and Pacquiao did not get that chance to take a rematch.

I only say they are under pressure because of the big hype around this fight. Especially when Crawford tries to negotiate and then failed. And then there were even news to announce this fight in the Garcia-Davis fight which didn't happen.

So they slow try to make some noise, but it seems that the Garcia-Davis fight has put the bar so high that as hard as both Spence and Crawford try to push the fight, very hard to topple the record of Garcia-Davis. But as we have said, this is still a successful fight generating close to maybe $50m-$80m. I do think thought that every boxer looks for their biggest paycheck, and so even if they are super rich, they wanted more. Just look at Floyd, even a billionaire and retired, he still goes for exhibition matches in Saudi or Middle East rich money.

So now, we will wait what will be the official PPV numbers and it has somewhat around 500k-800k or even break the 1 million mark.

The numbers are already out, Errol Spence Jr. Vs Terence Crawford PPV Buys Reach 700k, Bring In $50 Million In Revenue

The highly anticipated boxing match between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. was a huge success, generating an estimated 700,000 pay-per-view buys and bringing in more than $50 Million in revenue. This is the highest number of buys for a boxing PPV since Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao in 2015.

You prediction is correct, the PPV buys is lower than the Garcia vs Davis fight but of course it's still a big success.

No doubt it was highly anticipated.  Unifying those belts and the career win that Crawford needed to solidify his legacy.  Doesn't take much anymore though the decent boxing matches that are worth ppv have gone dramatically so when one pops up it will get more hits than it would have in the past.  Worth the price on this one.  I will buy round 2 of this fight.

I guess everyone is waiting for round 2. But there are also boxing pundits that says that a rematch is not needed as it was overwhelming performance. However, if the fight is 154 lbs in which fans of Spence says that he was weight drain at 147 lbs and Crawford knows it, could be a different outcome.

So for me if there is a rematch, the numbers might not be as close as the first one. Even the GGG vs Canelo rematch was way below in revenues in terms of PPV as compare to the first one, if I'm not mistaken.

That's the beauty of the contract is that as part of the deal the lower can enact a rematch within 30 days of the match and it needs to go off by the end of 2023.  There is no way Spence doesn't lock this in.  If he ducks the rematch that's what his legacy will end up with.  And the money on the table is gonna be huge.  Whether it's needed or not it's likely Spence signs up for it.

[Viscore]

I'm sure Spence's career is not over yet; he can still fight, so let's wait for his next move. If I were to be asked, I would like him to move up and forget his losses to Crawford. A new weight class means new challenges for him, and I think he will be more comfortable in a heavier division.

And as for Crawford, it's okay for him to fight Spence in a rematch that will be contested at 154 because either way, he will move up towards that division. It will be a win-win scenario because he doesn't have any belts to lose in that division.

That would probably shut Spence up if he still makes excuses and thinks he is more comfortable at 154. However, if Spence still loses, that would make him look bad to the fans, as it's hard to come back after multiple losses. He is probably like AJ, who lost twice against Usyk, and he isn't as popular as he was before.

Anyways, if Spence would want to ensure a good amount of money to be made, a rematch is always the answer since both of them are very popular now. It's an opportunity to easily market the fight. Both moving up would be good, as even if Spence loses, he can still fight other boxers in the same division until he figures out how to start winning.

However, I'm afraid that he will just be next to Crawford, as for sure, Crawford will dominate.

And witht this news, Jermell Charlo to be stripped of WBO title after fight with Canelo Alvarez, Tim Tszyu will be elevated, the competition would be easy for Crawford and Spence.
