MayDay ShowPPV, less than 1M PPV buys?

[Rocky Rode]

It was ****** of Showtime to guarantee Floyd that much money. They really did this to themselves.

So was Mayweather-Hatton unsuccessful at 920K???

If around 900K is unsuccessful, than Oscar wasn't that much of a PPV star, because only cracked 1 million 4 times.

[285Kid]

Some where in the 800k - 950k

Rock/Cena 2 did 750,000

How will he get 32 million if not enough people paid 70 dollars for the ppv?

i thought it was the promoters job to give the funds for each fighters guarantee to the commission. so if floyds was 32 mil, then essentially either himself, as he claims he is his own boss, or goldenboy, which is more likely make those funds available to the commission. and then the fighters get that money after the fight minus any penalties for failing to make weight etc.

i could be wrong but i thought thats how it works.

[Hougigo]

yes but Floyd also used this to help build up his other fights

Let me guess.... Pacquiao' you're next?

inb4 "Now 900K is bad? if any other fighter sold 900k yall would be calling him a cash cow. Money may aint neva gonna get no credit. He's held to the standards no other boxer in history is held to. Money the best"

He did say that the ppv was sold already just because of him. Under 1M is not good for Floyd. You know that.

I can understand running and holding if your fighting a dangerous top opponent but Guerrerro? And you have the nerve to charge $70 bucks for it?

The first 3 fights were PPV worthy but the main even should've been on FNF

[IIG]

I predicted 850k. We'll see where it tops out at.

[hectari]

as i said people got tired of watching floyd eating his favorite cherry of the year for 70$

yup, but this also shows that Floyd is wrong in giving Pac 40 million flat fee, he made a huge mistake should have just fought Pacman for 55-45 or the winner gets the lions share deal that was offered.

If his numbers do lower than the Pacquiao vs. Mosley 1.3 million showtime ppv numbers its sad because CBS and showtime actually spent more money promoting this fight compared to the Pac fight. This hurts Showtime because CBS is the wrong audience for boxing cause they would show commercials for this fight so if they really did below 1 million or some low 700k number man that would be a big blow.

Floyd did outdo Pacman when he fought Mosley though he did 1.4 million buys, but that was HBO

Showtime bent over backwards for Floyd. TV specials, executive producer roles, $32M guaranteed per fight and he's about to beat up on a bunch of no hopers. Lol Floyd's the man!!!
