One thing is certain. HBO would be fine.
Networks either break even or take loses from PPVs. In Pacquiao's case, they most likely just break even. In Mayweather's case Showtime loses money. HBO makes no qualms in saying they don't like PPVs.
No network would make a profit with a guy that asks for a $40 million guarantee like Money Mayweather. Showtime has to support him with strong undercards, and that would cost extra millions. Then the gargantuan amounts of money they have to spend on promotions.
No wonder Showtime is slowing down. Many of their fighters are on a long layoff. The high profile ones now fight once a year. Guerrero, Berto, Matthysse, Khan... The GBP rift is starting to get exposed because of financial loses. Only the Greedy Team profits. As a HBO executive suspected, Showtime spent all their money on Mayweather.

Probably 100K, or less, if that would make the floydspastics happy. hehe... Can't really blame floydspastics considering the looming confirmation of their hero becoming the biggest duck in the world when he retires. They can certainly take comfort in saying their hero is a PPV queen. hehe...
It's been obvious that TR is not trying very hard to achieve the one million mark in PPV, ie, usual lackluster undercards, under-promoted, etc. In contrast, GBP/Showtime are putting all their resources in one huge unprofitable basket.
