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

[Spoon23]

The most heavily promoted fight in boxing history did not break 2 mil?

It's a flop.

Got that right brother

[Spoon23]

Ya'll think they really expected 4million? That's almost twice the highest PPV ever. I didn't know the invented time machines for prime Tyson and prime Ali to come out and fight each other.

4m is not really realistic, but I'm sure they where targeting 2million up, therefore it is a flop for the promoters who also want to earn for all the effort and cost promoting it. Knowing Floyd, GBP just got chump change for there effort in promoting this fight.

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. -------

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

If there target is 2million up then it is mute and academic that 1.4 is a disappiontment for the promoters

if 1.4 mil is a failure them is 700k;nobody in there right mind thought they would do 4 mil hell Floyd vs Manny won't do 4 mil. It did the amount of PPv buys most expect from 1.4 to 2 mil. People want to downplay because he ****ted on the Horrbile EVENT.

Only Schaefer from GBP whos dumb enough to project 4m lol

end of discussion

anymore takers?

I actually thought they could reach the 3million mark because floyd and mosley are one of the most high profile fights, most recognize and 2 of the most well known boxers of this era...... But i was very wrong. And for the GBP spending alot of $$$$$$$$$ promoting this fight i do think they are just even with the revenue they get is just enough to pay the amount of money they spend in the promotional of this fight.

all these *******ed people who think GBP didnt make tons of money off the 2nd highest grossing non HW fight is plain ******...

[Vito Corleone]

Thanks for posting this..... see you would say close to 2 million but you wouldn't say 4 million if you are expecting 1.4 million. To hype it more they could of said "more than" 2 million instead of "close to"


Thanks again for clearing this up and proving my point!




Note: I didn't see or read from any link so I'm just taking your word on this Vito....

Which point? That Mayweather outsold Pacquiao yet again?


That

Naah, there not *******s just boxing people who have common sense, unlike *****s who flip flaps lol

You just have to have logic to get it, but it seems some don't have it.. It's sad really lol

[Spoon23]

Geez your a exactly a good example of what a dumbass is like lol.. 4 million is what your favorite promoter is preaching. Not 2million mark but 4 million.

Was there ever a fight who broke 3 million?

No so 4 million is really far fetched if you want to hype it, if your a promoter you say it will even reach 3million and there's a big possibility it will break the 2.4million ppv record.

4 million is just plain and simple ridiculous. Geez hard to talk to *****s, but I know he won't still get it lol

Dumbass pricks hehe!
