Originally posted by Good Boy View PostWow saying Floyd won't ever fight on the network means squat considering showtime will be the distributor making half of whatever is earned with said Floyd and Canelo PPVs. But yeah, Floyd won't be making them money. Stay in school kiddo.

Show me a source where these networks barely break even.

I doubt it was much of a kick in the nuts if they feel they could make the money back in return. Believe me HBO could have easily matched if they thought it was worth it.

Originally posted by Good Boy View PostThey don't have to pay off Floyd's contract right away. You're not serious. Floyd guarantees himself the money. Then whatever the PPV makes in revenue and gate half of it goes to the distributor. and it is A LOT more than barely cracking even You think Floyd just keeps everything?
Show me a source where these networks barely break even.

GB will have fights back on HBO but this is Hershman making a stand and not allowing Schafer give him bs 'building block' fights while his better competitive fights are on Shotime
Hopefully HBO expands it's normal boundaries and can work with S-Land and get some of their Crusierweights to the network

And you still didn't answer my question in regards to how much they're making back from the money they're already investing genius. Show me a source that proves they're making so much more money then what they're investing.. I'll be waiting.
They lost out on a huge pot.
