Comments Thread For: Schaefer: This is The Highest Grossing PPV of All-Time

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) vs. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) will be the highest grossing pay-per-view event of all-time. The current record is $136,000 million, set down by the 2007 Oscar De La Hoya vs. Mayweather pay-per-view. The Showtime pay-per-view has a price tag of $64.95 and $74.95 for high definition.

Mayweather-Canelo has already broken the highest gate record, with a tally of $20,003,150. The previous gate record of $18,419,200 was held by De La Hoya-Mayweather.

Yes the highest grossing which means we can expect some bullshhhh scoring to get a rematch going...guaranteed. I held off betting for this same reason...too big of a fight to leave it as a one and done. Get Ready for "The One 2" May 2014.

Perhaps the threat of bull**** scoring is the reason for why Floyd is going for the knockout. Even if he doesn't win by KO, he'll pummel the **** out of Alvarez and give him a beating by being more aggressive.

"Even some of the media guys who are in Top Rank's pocket, even those guys have to admit now - the difference between us and the second biggest promotional company in the world, which is Top Rank, and the [gap] is getting bigger by the day."

Imagine if they charged that much for the PPV for Oscar-Floyd? Or Tyson-Holyfield....
With the adjusted numbers Oscar-Floyd does a little under $180 million.....

as if golden boy doesnt have writers in their pockets smdh... fat dan rafael is in their pocket.

as for the promotional firms,

ill go with top rank who has a strong track record of taking young fighters and making them into great ppv stars. Golden Boy has yet to produce a figther from beginning stage to ppv hall of fame star.
