    lmfao

    Just because they expect 3 Million buys doesnt mean they are trying to make up for promotional spending. It was Schafer throwing a number out there to hype and help sell the fight.
    It's an analogy lol.. Just answer it. You don't have to if you have to squeeze to much of your brain

      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.
      do you believe anyone was really expecting 4 million buys?

        I could answer that question with my ass let alone my brain:

        To answer your question:

        "Do you still consider 1.4million ppv buys a success if they broke even in the cost of making the fight."

        No because regardless of how many buys it did. No one got paid.

        But we all know that wasnt case correct?

        So what was the point of asking that?

          The early reports that came out said it did 1.1 and ******* jumped on it calling a massive failure than it was later reported to do 1.4 which was still bigger than anything pac has ever done.

              Well it was far out but just expecting higher numbers tell us they went all out in promotion costs. Evident with the Gladiator commercials bill boards and marketing hype.

                Your analogies suck bro.
                because you don't like it!!!

                Example: Not when you are expecting $200 million but generated $50 million on $45 million worth of expenses.

                One big reason is that for this fight/movie/car your costs are much higher than usual (promotions/commodity/other expenses....) but you think it's well worth it because you are going to generate a forecasted amount of money. When you get a lot less than forecasted then your winnings are not what you were expecting either since you spent a lot more than usual too.

                Stocks is the perfect example of this. If you come below what is projected then your stock/value goes down NOT up! You need to be at or above the projection...

                    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!

                    So do you guys still think Floyd's fight with Mosely a success?
                    This isnt the stock market. This is a boxing promotion company hyping up the fight. This was a success no need to twist and turn.
