It's not even a week later, and we're getting new statements saying they're willing to work with any promoter. EVERY major media outlet covered this story, how could you possibly miss this? That's hilarious that you can actually sit there and interpret HBO's Monday statement as: "Hey GBP, call us." GTFOH.

They lost out on a huge pot.

A show like Game of Thrones is beyond what your pre-school level of intellect can handle. BTW how much does Schaefer pay you to let him play with ur booty hole?

Originally posted by josenoway View PostHBO makes money off their PPVs, just not as much as they'd like. They're certainly not losing money or just breaking even. HBO didn't carry all those Pac and Floyd PPVs just to break even. C'mon, common sense. Yes, the networks make the majority of their money off subscriptions, which is why they'd love to carry the bigtime fights on their regular channel, but fighters and promoters prefer the PPV model because it gives them a bigger share of the pie. With that said, it's hard to call yourself the premier network for boxing when you've blacklisted so many of the sport's top talents. I don't expect HBO or GBP for that matter to maintain this position for very long. The two companies make more money together than separately. In the end, the bottom line speaks the loudest.

Originally posted by Beater_of_ass View PostHBO said they gave Floyd a "respectable" offer which means HBO offered that 50/50. Floyd left HBO for Showtime... you are going to tell me he left for a smaller network for the same guaranteed money? By smaller I also mean about 5-10 million less homes, they might be working with CBS but no way are they getting 50/50 Floyd wouldn't take 55-45 with Manny and if he lost it's not like HBO would have kicked him off the network forever.
everyone knows GOT gets a big budget.
\they will both be ok. or are you just a game of thrones fan?

I'd take the total sum of boxings entire promotional stable over GB's..... That means fights from fighters and divisions we might not normally see like for example Viloria-Estrada
The people that will take the biggest hit imo is outlets like Epix and WealthTV since HBO would be picking up cards normally available to them.... Along with the fighters purses in GB's stable since Showtime doesn't have to worry them going anywhere else

I don't have the numbers but it's pretty common knowledge that HBO is far and away worth the most among the cable movie networks. Their budget is huge and if they wanted Floyd they could have kept him. Them saying thanks but no thanks to him pretty much tells you all you need to know about what they thought of the deal that Showtime gave him.
I give Showtime a lot of credit for having balls and shelling out but lets be real, they did it out of the desperation to legitimize themselves. Fair or not the perception has always been HBO as boxing top dog, whereas Showtime was about a step away from ESPN status. They were second tier.
They basically emptied their sports budget to be taken seriously. Time will tell if it pays off for them.
