Maidana vs Morales, HBO PPV...Really?

In order to have a PPV you need a network to broadcast it and collect the fees. A boxing promotion isn't set up to do that. HBO PPV can. The network always takes half of the PPV revenues. They don't get live crowd or foreign broadcast money. This is how the real boxing world works. If you take the time to do the research you will find this out. Wow thats very intersting.

streaming it is then

So it's an HBO PPV that they didn't have to pay for but will get half the revenues of? Who the hell is GBP's accountant? :lol1: I find that extremely hard to believe, any articles backing this up?

Im not paying

Neither HBO or Showtime are buying this. So what would you rather have, the ability to purchase or it to be one of those cards that goes untelevised? Listen folks, all PPV does is give people the option to buy a fight that otherwise would not be seen. HBO doesn't spend any of its budget on this, freeing up money for better fights, so everyone wins. If you have that much of a problem, then don't buy it. No one is forcing you. Personally I'm loving it because this will be the first time in a while that I have been able to purchase and watch a Morales fight (one of my all time favorites) instead of waiting several days to download it.

GBP is who is putting up all of the money. HBO PPV just broadcasts it and takes 50% of the PPV revenue. So it's an HBO PPV that they didn't have to pay for but will get half the revenues of?

Card;s decent altough considering the hard economic times it shouldn't be 50 bucks. Prolly 25 or 30.

No way this should be ppv event.

Some of you guys fail to understand the dynamics of boxing on PPV, and like it or not the current model will not change anytime soon. The reason why the UFC is doing so well is because they embrace cards like this.

If this fight is ppv worthy, then Khan-Bradley definately should be HBO ppv.....

IF you think it is a shitty fight do you want it to take budget at a network or be on PPV where it hurts no one and those who wish to view it can.

The current state of boxing is pitiful :grumble:

I'll be buying this card. Morales-Maidana is going to be a war...probably a short war, but I think the rest of the card is going to be good enough to make this PPV worth it.

good luck selling that fight.......

Major fail. It can't be on HBO PPV.. Would they actually do this?!

Morales - Maidana isn't worth PPV, but that fight with Guerrero-Katsidis, Wright-Malckin and return of Kirkland is worth some bucks. Whole card looks great.

Merge this fight in with the Khan and Ortiz cards on April 16th and you got a ppv seller

GBP is who is putting up all of the money. HBO PPV just broadcasts it and takes 50% of the PPV revenue. Was that what they did with Mosley Mora?

Since when does GBP do its own PPVs? I also have a hard time believing HBO would turn this card down for an after dark slot. GBP is who is putting up all of the money. HBO PPV just broadcasts it and takes 50% of the PPV revenue.

El terrible vs maidana guerrero vs katsidis wright vs maKLAIN james kirland damn good card ill be buying it maybe cause erik is my favorite fighter ever
