Okay, so I’ve been trying to figure out this whole Haney vs. Prograis PPV buys thing. It’s been bugging me, you know? Like, how many people actually paid to watch this fight?
First, I started by just, like, Googling around. You know, the usual – “Haney Prograis PPV numbers,” “boxing PPV buys,” stuff like that. I spent a good hour just clicking through different articles and forum posts. It was a mess! Some places were saying one thing, others were saying something completely different. Lots of speculation, not a lot of hard facts.
Then I thought, “Okay, let’s try social media.” So I went on Twitter (or X, whatever it is now) and searched for mentions of the fight. I figured people would be talking about it, maybe even bragging about buying it. I scrolled through a bunch of tweets, but it was mostly just people arguing about who won or complaining about the price. No help there.
Digging Deeper!
I decided I needed to be a little more… organized. I created a simple spreadsheet. Yeah, I know, sounds nerdy, but it helps! I listed all the different sources I found – news articles, forum posts, tweets, everything. Then I started noting down any numbers they mentioned, even if they were just estimates. I added a column for “Source Reliability,” where I’d give each source a rating (like, “Seems Legit,” “Probably BS,” “Total Guesswork”).
- Spent hours just reading and rating.
- Felt like a detective, piecing together clues.
- Got frustrated with the lack of official numbers.
After all that, I still don’t have a definitive answer. It’s tough! Boxing promoters are notoriously secretive about PPV numbers. But I have a better sense of the range of possibilities. I can see which sources are more trustworthy, and which ones are just pulling numbers out of thin air. At least,i am getting more informed about it!
I’m going to keep digging, though. Maybe I’ll check out some boxing podcasts, see if they have any inside info. This is like a puzzle, and I’m determined to solve it!
