Alright, so I’ve been digging into this whole Haney vs. Prograis PPV thing, and man, it’s been a wild ride. I mean, I really wanted to see how many people actually bought the fight, you know? So, I started poking around everywhere I could think of.
First, I went straight to the source, trying to find official numbers. I checked out boxing news sites, official promoters’ pages, you name it. But honestly, it was like pulling teeth. Nobody wanted to say anything concrete. It felt like some big secret that everyone was in on but me.
Then, I saw some people talking about the fight online, saying it totally bombed. They were throwing around numbers like 50,000 buys, which, let’s be real, is pretty bad for a fight of this supposed caliber. I started to wonder if it was true. Was this fight really that big of a flop?
- I even stumbled upon this one article where this big shot promoter, Bob Arum, was basically saying the whole thing was a mess.
- He blamed the high price of the PPV. He said that 75 bucks was too much.
- And he wasn’t the only one. Eddie Hearn, another big name in boxing, he tried to say the rumors about the low numbers were not true.
But then I thought, “Hold up, there’s always more to the story.” So, I kept digging. I found interviews with the fighters, their teams, other promoters, and even some fans who bought the PPV. I wanted to hear all sides. I mean, Bill Haney, Devin’s dad, was mad about people saying the fight did poorly.
After going through all this mess, I came to realize it’s really hard to say for sure how many people bought the fight. Maybe it was a flop, maybe it wasn’t as bad as some people said. One thing’s for sure though, I got a real good look at the messy world of boxing, and let me tell you, it ain’t always pretty.
In the end, all this digging around taught me one thing: the fight was a shut out. Devin Haney won 120-107. And all these stuff is just noise, the real deal is, these two guys got in the ring, and one came out a two-division champ. That’s something, right?
Anyway, that’s my little adventure into the Haney vs. Prograis PPV numbers. Hope you found it at least a little bit interesting. I sure did enjoy putting on my detective hat, even if it didn’t lead to a clear-cut answer. Keep on swinging, folks!
