no way.... if this is true that is really great

[elhijoprodigo]

Why is it great, I'm the one suffering with the ****ing cable bill, meanwhile they don't have to worry about **** like this. I will never order a ppv again. They give it for free the following week. The problem is that I love boxing, so yes I'm just talking ****. Anyway it made that much money because of tito and roy knew that. Thus thee reason he helped promote the fight. Tito is a fan magnet, so where tito is money goes. This would be a great time for DLH to call tito out, imagine the amount of money that fight would make.

Despite overwhelming prefight media criticism of their light heavyweight showdown last Saturday night at New York's Madison Square Garden, the fight drew a stunningly large audience. It generated 500,000 pay-per-view subscriptions and $25 million in domestic television revenue, HBO PPV's Mark Taffet told ESPN.com on Thursday.

It broke down to 300,000 cable subscriptions and 200,000 satellite buys, he said. Once all the buys are fully counted, the totals are expected to rise slightly

its great because it shows people are paying attention to the sport.. and more than we expected

Jones and King split the ppv revenue while Tito got a guranteed 15 mil and nothing else. Roy had to net at least 8 figures for this one.

[elhijoprodigo]

so how much did roy get? I'm sure a couple mil less than tito

25 million in revenue plus all the sales of merchandise and such, I think he could have made close to what Tito made.

[elhijoprodigo]

well considering that out of those 25 mil he has to pay his entourage he'll probably stay with like 15. Tito on the other hand is trained by his father his father's money will become his money when papa expires. tito made 15, he'll stay with about 13

There is a video on youtube where roy actually attends a ****ing disgrace of a show called "La Comay" it's a puertorican show(I too am Puerto Rican), but nevertheless the show is pathetic. roy promoted this **** like crazy props to roy.
