‘You’ve been caught lying’: Fans fume after Boxing Insider refuses to believe Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin bought 350,000 PPVs

Gervonta Davis against. Frank MartinThe MGM Grand, Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, wasn’t the biggest attraction of 2024, but it did much better than expected. Rick Glaser Yes, you read that correctly: the controversial boxing insider had previously claimed that Davis’ main event would not generate more than 200,000 PPV buys.

However, according to a report by a boxing journalist And RafaelThe June 15 fight managed to garner between 325,000 and 350,000 pay-per-view buys across all platforms it was available on in the United States. Yet Glaser, a certified PBC detractor, refused to believe those numbers were real. Instead, he called the whole thing PBC on X propaganda today!

Gervonta Davis and Leonard Ellerbe named PBC agents

After Rafael announced the news, TalkSport editor Michael Benson shared it across the X-verse, writing: “Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin reportedly generated “between 325,000 and 350,000″ PPV buys in the United States.” And you guessed it! Glaser found this information circulating on the platform, contradicting what he had previously said about the fight’s PPV numbers.

So he quickly countered the numbers by writing: “This is hilarious, it didn’t even hit 150,000 buys!!! More #PBC propaganda being spread in the media by #PBC agents like #LeonardEllerbe. #TankDavis #Baltimore #Boxing.” It’s also worth mentioning that while the event was part of PBC’s deal with Amazon Prime, it was available to watch on traditional television and satellite services and digitally on PPV.com.

Interestingly, if Rafael’s sources are correct about the 350,000 PPV buys, the event, which sold for $74.95, would have grossed over $26 million. So when fans found out about Glaser’s total denial of the new numbers, let’s just say they had something to say to him.

Rick Glaser Pushes for Anti-PBC Propaganda

Glaser has criticized PBC’s every move, even claiming a while back that the promotion was on the verge of bankruptcy, but there is no evidence of this. So, with his latest attack on the promotion, many antagonistic comments have been made by fans. One user didn’t mince words, calling Glaser out for potentially “layer” And “capping”. Yet Rick is adamant about his claims that the fight is low PPV.

Someone else pushed Glaser to reveal the sources for his bold claims, suggesting that he sounded absurd. The problem is that if he reveals his sources, he can no longer use them for his claims.

Another user contradicted Glaser’s claims that this was all PBC propaganda by suggesting that Glaser was spreading anti-PBC propaganda. This shows how political the sport of boxing has become.

The next user asked if Benson was a PBC agent, sarcastically mocking Glaser. But Glaser responded by claiming that Rafael was the real culprit, Benson was just reporting the news.

Meanwhile, this user perfectly sums up how casual fans and boxing promoters feel about the whole situation. What did the fan say? Well, the user said no one cares! But the amount of traction Glaser’s tweet received says otherwise.

Gervonta Davis’ latest outing was his seventh headliner pay-per-view event since his first in 2020, making it his second-most successful after the show with Ryan Garcia Last year, the question was who was right: Glaser or Rafael? And what would Rafael gain by presenting false figures?
