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

I call the Mayweather/Mosley fight as the greatest PPV flop of all time considering the minimal return they got versus the amount they spent to promote the fight.
I won't be surprise if GBP didn't make any profit out of the fight. lolComment

I'll spell it out for you, nobody expected 4million but I'm sure Richard was expecting it to go over 1.5 million minimum. In my point of view anything less is a business epic failure.you shouldn't put this all on richard standing at a podium talking...when they sit down to figure numbers...they do a maximum/minimum prediction...they factor in who gets paid what and how much they will spend on marketing...if you think they said "we'll get 4 million easy" and proceeded to spend as if their minimum would be around 4 million...than i could see it being a fail...but i promise you...these people have been in boxing for years...they probably go by trend analysis and demographics...as well as a lot of other marketing tools to decipher how much they want to spend in dollars...
so the real question should be "did richard schaefer succeed in what he predicted?" the answer is a no...but if you think that these people are true dunces with no analytical business savvy...then go right ahead and assume that they all thought they would see 4 million buys and proceeded to bank on that number...Comment

If these guys open up their books you will see that every year expenses go up and for the Mosley vs Floyd they promoted it heavily. They also had their PED testing cost.....
Since it's available on the net, just look at costs of movies. There are movies that run with a budget of over $200 million where previously a movie did great if it made that amount of revenue. So the projection will be much higher than that. So naturally if you come below or close to the budget it will be a disappointment EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY.
You expect 4 but you get 1, you must be somewhat disappointed.Comment

So promoting the fight cost more then what they made off PPV buys, the Live Gate and Sponsorship deals?
Go back to Pacland, you inbred, ******ed fuck.Comment

don't get mad, it's the truth and I'm pretty sure GBP lost a significant amount of money promoting the fight. lololComment

is 1.4M even the half of 4M target? if they expect that big and didnt even meet half of it, meaning what they expect is a failure. it is like ur expecting 4M people to watch u fight when only 1.4M are interested.
ill ask u again is 1.4 half of 4?
if u dont get it. know ur math, open ur eyes, then stfu.
dont tell me if it is successful because no one knows how much they spend in promoting the fight, but tell me (again) if they even meet the half of their targets (it didnt even meet 3M)and quit telling us about hyping thing as the excuse.Comment
