Spence – Garcia does 360,000 PPV buys
According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, the Errol Spence Jr. – Mikey Garcia did around 360,000 Pay-Per-View buys.
The source said the sales figure is likely to move closer to 380,000 with an outside chance to touch 400,000 buys with numbers from cable operators still being tallied. At 360,000 buys, the $75 pay-per-view (and closer to $85 for the high-definition broadcast) grossed at least $27 million domestically.
A Fox Sports spokesman declined to comment and said there would be no official announcement of the pay-per-view total.
That would be considered a home run for the Premier Boxing Champions event, which exceeded the roughly 325,000 buys generated by the Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury heavyweight world title fight on Dec. 1 and would be close to the approximately 400,000 buys generated by the welterweight world title fight between Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner on Jan. 19, both of which were PBC events carried by Showtime PPV.
