Floyd's PPV failing would be the best thing for boxing right now!

Simple question. Who would u be happy seeing Floyd face?

A fight with Golovkin would pique my interest. Now I have a simple question for you, why does it matter who I'd be happy to see Floyd fight?

The only thing ShowTime pays for on this is production costs. That does not cost millions of dollars. They aren't losing money on this. The whole idea is silly. Ppv fights pay for themselves and they have investors usually found by managers/promotional companies. Even if the fight doesn't sell crazy, it will make money. Why do u think fights like Jones/Hopkins were on ppv? Because that's the cheapest way to deal with them

they guaranteed floyd $30 mil dude. the profit from the first 1 mil ppvs sold has likely been spent already. its gonna be tough IMO.

give it up, Floyd's never gonna fight the ginger

ShowTime doesn't guarantee those purses. Gbp does. Its a ppv once again.

Wrong. It is showtime that gave him a 6 fight deal and Is paying him.

everybody including canelo are b level compared to mayweather. whats your point?

then why duck the ginger then?

I think u misunderstood. ShowTime paid Floyd for an exclusivity contract, but that has nothing to do with this individual fight. Its the same as saying a basketball players' salary correlates to one particular game or series of games. It doesn't. So yea he was given a deal potentially worth $30mil a fight but that has nothing to do with one particular fight.

Thats bs. They both have to make the same weight, they dont gain 20lbs of strength , do they(gaining too much weight too quickly is often more a hindrance than a help). That is a total non argument. You have your own special rules for Floyd, we get it.

Please explain why Manny had rehydration clauses and catchweights against several fighters. Last time I checked these weight stipulations or as u say special rules are acceptable for Manny and people on here say if the opponent accepted it, its his fault. If Mayweather would ask this of Canelo u would call Mayweather a ***** and king of draining his opponent. Canelo wasnt at his best, blah, blah, blah. Double standard?

Respectfully, you are wrong my dude. floyd is guaranteed $30 mil for this fight, before one ppv is sold. He has an out clause after this fight that should he exercise it makes this a 1 fight deal with showtime.

If floyd/guerrero sells 200k ppv's floyd gets his $30 mil and showtime/cbs loses CRAZY money. If the fight sell 1 mil they may break even. If the fight does the usual 1.25 mil-a stretch given the lack of promotion/marketing that floyd usually does for his fights-then they will make money on this fight.

I did. Your still wrong. It is showtime that is paying Floyd and guaranteeing him his money. NOT Gbp.
