Big Dung, IMDAZED, MrChokeaMF coming to da rescue!:smileysex

I was suspecting they were losing money... and the theory of 1million ppv buys to cover Floyd's guarantee seems to be correct.

But some of these guys sometimes sound convincing...so I was kind of thinking 'ok maybe they're break even'.

But yea, it seems to be true. They ARE losing money.

I knew this when Espinoza came out and said they won't release the PPV numbers right after the second fight

Well the way the network makes its money is off ppv #s so this is exactly about ppv #s. Don't be stupid.

Damn. Makes sense why the head of CBS is pushing the Pacquiao fight. Floyd has a boss.

Is any1 surprise?

[DoubleLeftH00k]

there was no mexican star to help out floyd

Not a Flomwo.

But did we not just have a THREAD about how no one hear on BoxingScene cares about PPV buys when we were talking Pac Vs Algeri numbers??

It's still irrelevant but makes sense on why the CBS heads are pushing floyd to fight manny. Their big deal isn't really working out.

we are talking about revenue.. meaning aside from U.S, PPV#s, lots things to consider.. like sponsors, tv rights on other countries etc...
