925k Is what i think it will do roughly..
I dont think maidana is a big enough name like jmm, shane, cotto, for it to break past a million.. This one will fall just short of the million mark, similar to the hatton fight
790k still good numbers but not when he has to get 1.5 to break even then again its not his fault showtime are idiot's ..The guy has drawing power every wannabe baller orders this fight to just to say they did
I hate when people say things like this, but don't know the facts.
1. He gets paid from CBS. His purse isn't being paid by SHO. Espinoza made that clear on his twitter. SHO is paying for his opponents purses not his. His deal is with SHO/CBS.
2. He's guaranteed 32 million at minimum. It already has a 15 million dollar gate. That's a remaining 17 million dollars that the event has to generate. At a price of 75 dollars which is the price in the US. It could do 700,000 buys, and it would still generate $52,500,000. You take his extra 17 million out of there for his purse. And thats still $35,500,000. And that's at a bare minimum of 700k buys, which in all likelihood it would bring in more than that. If the fight brings in the million its expected too. thats $75,000,000. Where the hell is the SHO losing money? They're making more money than they ever have. Fro their to be a negative differential. With the PPV price, this card would have to do 400k buys.
400k times 75 = $30000000 plus the live gate = 45,000,000.
Even then there'd still be a profit. His purse isn't big enough for them to take losses. This fight would have to tank on some next level s--t for them to take a loss. Maybe something like 350K buys. CBS isn't stupid.

lol that is very true. Showtime exceutives must've been stoned out of their minds.
"All the ballers buy Floyd fights. We bidniss men!"
Jesus and it still did 850 on a Mexican holiday ?

Changing my prediction...
People really buying into the "he's distracted" bs. So add 50k more buys. The fight will do 840k.

1.1 million
If Floyd can do 850k with Guerrero who no one outside of hardcores knew. Who didn't even bring latino fans to the fight because he's an Americanized latino who doesn't even speak spanish
Then he can do a million with a spanish speaking latin fighter who's coming off the biggest win of his career, against who most casuals saw as the heir to Mayweather. with a major belt, ad That Broner fight created a huge social media stir, and twitter is buzzing about the fight right now
Casuals are eating it up.
1.1 million.
They gotta do something drastic at the weigh in, I suggest chair throwing, what other suggestions are good?
Miss Jackson giving Maidana a smooch on the cheek :kiss:
They didn't do a press tour or prefight media promotion tour so Showtime knows this might not sell to well, if it does over 1 million that will be a success, but still not good enough for Showtime and Goldenboy to see any major profit they will take another L financially, the only one who wins is Mayweather he gets the majority of the money.
I can't wait for him to retire can't stand his money grubbing ways and cherry picked opponents.
IMO the Ghost fight showed us Floyd's drawing power. I don't even remember te undercard, Floyd basically carried that by himself and it did 800k. It was supposed to be his return fight, he lost his legs etc.
But this will show us something too. I will really be shocked if this does more than 850k.
Marea,ponce de leon and leo santa cruz ..
At least a million. The ever opportunistic Mayweather got Maidana right at the perfect time. Or the perfect moment if you will. Right on peak maximum hype.
