Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Cotto Generates 1.5 Million Buys, $94 Million

[sapaw]

if they said they got 1.5 they really got 1.3 or 1.2 mill.

Schaefer once again wrong.


they are juking stats and rounding up so they can give themselves more leeway of beating pac and bradley numbers.


these figures are nefariously incorrect.

HBO Officially release it so its 99.9% accurate... unlike PC-MArquez, Floyd-Ortiz etc, which ONLY the promoters release it to the media.

[sampsonsimpson]

94 million is TOTAL revenue. The satellite/cable operators take at least 50% off the top. I don't know the rest of the breakdown. But the PPV split between the fighters is not based on the 94 million. They split the profit.

exactly

the cable/satellite companies take about 45% and the network (hbo) takes about %10 ... the rest is split between the promotional companies

..GBP offers better under card fights than Top Rank, that's why. Pac being from another country ain't doing so bad. why

So again, bigger draw?

you know whats funny about pac-tar-d, is that the article and numbers will prove that mayweather is a bigger draw, and even says second largest ppv event (non heavy weight) and pactars will still pretend manny pac is cash cow!! thats why a pac-tar-d is a pac-tar-d!!! they deny the truth!!

If anyone wants to see.

Why would HBO do that????? Hbo reported these numbers, not just Golden Boy dumbass. And going by your logic, than we really don't know what Pac sold against Marquez, Mosley, and Margarito, seeing as HBO never even released those numbers, only Bob Arum did.

My god people are ****** on here.

[maguirre]

Two foreign fighters. Two foreign flag ceremonies. Cinco de Mayo. The numbers just don't add up.

my god people on here are not only ******, but gullible idiot sheeple who believe everything they read.

my god,

hospitals, banks, government institutions also juke stats...

no way the most corrupt sport in the world does that...


moron.

[MrRolltide91]

Word... Espn has the article up today where it says these are just "actual reported numbers" up to date.... They are still counting

so why couldn't they wait till the total numbers to come out?

[TR vs. GB]

how do movie theater tickets calculate into this?? BC a bunch of my friends I know and me included watched it at the theaters and did not order the ppv.
