    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?
    There you go. You got the analogy. Thank You.

    We all know they went all out in promotion costs. Evident with the Gladiator commercials bill boards and marketing hype. 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 maybe 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.

        So a cheap Green screen commercial that wasnt even shown on TV cost more then what they made on the fight?

        Schafer expected 4 Mill because it was Mosley vs. Floyd. Him saying that was hyping the fight.

            ...so they expected to do nearly double the biggest ppv in history, and put all their eggs in that basket...sounds plausible. i'm no business major....but...

              Where did you get that they spent 45 mill on "expenses"?
              Previously you said ....You are saying $50 million is still a lot.... I am putting the case where expenses are higher than usual so their profit on $50 million would make it less than on $200 million. So it would appear to be relatively speaking, a disappointment.

                Obviously you don't know commercial cost nowadays. Think its cheap producing a commercial and putting it on our tv screens Geez.. And all the promotions that went with it as well. Compare it to Pac Cotto, May mosely was promoted with more marketing even if you don't agree with me.

                It is clear as night and day they where all out spending in marketing the fight.

                  What makes your ****** ass claims so dubious is that you dont know how much was spent on promotion and you have no idea what the bottom line is on the promotion and fight altogether, only in this bizarro world is 1.4 million PPV buys a failure, only in the effort to sukk the cokk of another fighter (manny pacquiao) is having 1.4 million not a success. Shut the **** up.
