500k.
That's a very solid number but by Manny standards it's a flop.
Tough to sell a fight with only two dude's on the card being known and one of those guys (Bradley) having a "questionable" fanbase.
ALT HUH, WE KNOW WHO THIS IS HE'S BEEN USING THE SAME WORD UNDER HIS OTHER NAME:lol1:
Look at this dumbass statement a promoter doesnt want to sell a MIL lol LAMONT ie YOU BIG DUMMY:lol1:
was just gonna say that.
In contrast, GBP/Showtime are putting all their resources in one huge unprofitable basket.
You mean like Mayweather/Canelo the highest grossing gate of all time :rofl: :fing26:
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.
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.
I don't really see any reason for it to do better than the first fight, a rematch for it to really do better needs to be of an excellent fight and Manny-Bradley 1 was not an excellent fight.
Still it should do pretty good 650-750
manny sells and he's fighting the #2 ranked welter so i believe 850K-1.1 mill. Bradley is more known now.
This is true but I don't know about Bradley fans.
