HBO Boxing budget vs. SHO boxing budget

[onechance87]

Showtime been steping up big time.That fact that they stole floyd from
hbo shows there flexing muscle.

[Da Machine]

What good is a huge budget when all you come up with are mostly garbage fights? All they wanna do is build up stars out of scraps. Fans want to see stars fight each other NOW. Not wait till they finished fighting bums after bums.

Who exactly. I see a lot of.legit fights coming up.

Manny Pacquiao is their highest grossing PPV boxer and hes still on HBO

They dropped there 2nd highest PPV boxer cuz he was only interested in cherry picking and mismatches

Get your facts straight mayweather is the highest grossing ppv star.
If you havent noticed he is the most payed sportman of 2012 and he does not even recieve any endorsement.
And even if he was number 2 why the hell would they drop him it would very bad business decision and HBO is in the business of making money
Hence why it is called PAY PER VIEW.

Sorry to break it to you but Pac was not their highest grossing PPV boxer.

Its not how much you spend but how much you make

HBO sold over 3 million PPV's last year

Thanks to Floyd, obviously.

Now all of that PPV money is going to showtime. HBO has been having budget problems for years, they were basically forced to have Hopkins/Dawson II on ppv in order to make some money back

Think about it mofos... if Floyd's fights 2x a year that's gonna eat up most of Showtime's budget. there won't be any money left for GBP other " stars". and Showtime's budget is still less than HBO's budget. GBP's only selling point to their stable is that if you fight for scraps on Showtime, you might win the Floyd lottery.

Hopkins/ Dawson went to ppv because HBO didn't want to pay the purses that there guys were asking for. they knew it wasn't a fan friendly fight
