It's an economic tragedy for Golden Boy Promotion and Mayweather Promotion for earning only less than $35million in PPV and almost a give away tickets sales for a $20million production(excluding taxes, promotion and other operating expenses) of mayweather- Ortis fight.
Richard forecasts a 1.7million buys and 2million buys by Oscar made their disappointment even worst. But Oscar being a businessman for so long just told Brad Cone that its the nature of business sometimes there's profit, a loss or break even. And according to Richard GBP is not really at lost, because their concern is only the guaranteed purse of their fighters including Ortis, Mayweather's purse of $10million is accountable for mayweather promotions.
After sharing the 50% PPV sales less taxes, promotions and other operating expenses, mayweather promotions and GBP might end up $6million each, and GBP fighters including Ortis purse will only expend more or less $3million. According to Richard they still have a small peanut left.
