GBP expecting 4million and getting 1.4ppv numbers a success?

[deliveryman]

ADP02's analogy:

Expecting 4 million but getting 1.4 million is a success?

Example: If GM car company was expecting (forecasting) sales of 4 million but they only sold 1.4 million cars their stocks would go down NOT up!

We all know they went all out in promotion costs. Evident with the Gladiator commercials bill boards and marketing hype. there was the superbowl promo.. man he was exposed to 100 million people at least and no doubt, besides that there's boxing journalist who find it newsworthy to print him. They really went all out in the marketing of the fight. Transaltion they spend so much and expected more from the fight that even if they don't reach 4million they where expecting at least way over the 1.5million.

Meaning anything less than 1.5mil will either be break even or a loss to there investment.

It's like this, If your projecting a sales of 4million car buys and you only sold 1.3 million cars, with the work force to maintain and a factory to run do you think the company would earn. His stocks will plunge if you know something about biz.

The promoter’s expectations fell short from their projected profit. What they did was spend more than the required budget to promote the fight but their expectation came up at least 65% short.

If they know beforehand that the fight will flop (based on their expected revenue) then they won't spend that kind of money just to promote the fight. If I'm not mistaken the 24/7 HBO shows was amplified from 5 part series instead of the standard 4 series show. -------


And plz don't say that boxing ain't a business coz boxing is all about money.

I guess Floyd is a cash cow failure don't you think?

So do you guys still think Floyd's fight with Mosely a success?

There's a difference between an "expectation" that was budgeted for, and an outlandish "goal" probably used as a marketing ploy.

I can tell people that it's my goal to knock Mike Tyson out, but in reality it is my expectation that I'll end up comatose.

And it's all relative. Sure I think GBP truly wanted 2M+, so with that they were a little let down but the fact remains the fight will go down as the 2nd richest non-heavyweight fight in boxing history. How can that not be considered a success?

If someone earned in this fight it is definitely Floyd and Shane, but the promotional company GBP for sure didn't get enough for or all the trouble and cost hyping this event.

4 million would just be crazy, I can't believe this guy is biased enough and dislikes Floyd enough to take it seriously and try to use it against him.

anything less is either break even or negatory

Of course Mayweather and Mosely still got paid but I'm sure the promoters are getting the short end of the stick. For all the trouble and cost of hyping this fight they fell really short for there presumed expectations.

As I said 4m is not really realistic but I'm sure they where targeting 2million up, therefore it is a flap for the promoters who also want to earn big money. Knowing Floyd GBP just chump change for the effort.

Geez man, it hurts you to know the truth lol Just stay away from the thread if you don't want to get owned again lol

[sicko]

lets be honest here, most of the people who are saying that the PPV Flopped are Pacman fans who are upset at the fact that Mayweather's PPV once again did better then Manny's because if Manny did those numbers most of his fans would be bragging about it

this PPV was not a Flop, only thing that Flopped was Richard Schaefer's ridiculous prediction

Geez man your opinion here is not important. What is important is to make an intelligent refute if you have one and try to discredit my thread if you can. But smearing it with ridiculous comments without bearing is just silly and dumbfounded..

Make sense man don't pollute

I'll make it simple for you. If you invested 200million bucks from all the marketing investment commercials 24/7 and you sold 1.4million ppv which only profited around 200 million.

Answer this?

Do you still consider 1.4million ppv buys a success if they broke even in the cost of making the fight. Remember they projected 4million buys. Which means they went all out in promoting the fight.

In this case I think it is success because it is something to build on. Especially when you have a fight like May & Pac on the horizon... if that fight would have been Huge in March It will most likely be way way beyond that for Nov....

HUH?? That was an analogy my man.. 200m cost to make the fight and 200m profit of the fight equals nada.. it cancels out, didn't earn **** lol.. I repeat it is just a theoretical analogy that you didn't get lol anyway just read my post on the first page you will get it if your mind is clear lol

I've they were aiming for 4 million then they must have lost money only making 1.4m
