Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Mayweather PPV Will Do Over 1 Million Buys

[tacoboxer]

so if what schaefer says is right...... that means that showtime is taking a significant loss on this.... ppv buy of over 1.25M (break even for showtime, if i read it correctly somewhere)?....

put all your points on this.... there is one easy way to determine if Showtime lost money...

When the final revenue count is in..... and if it is a loser for Showtime.... Floyd will only see his $32M and no more.

Put your points on the line and bet me...

Who cares!!!???

Those numbers only matter to fanboys and casuals who use it to argue about who is a bigger star. Give me a fight versus a legit #2 and i'm happy. End of story.

I've been asking that forever and no one could answer. PAC just got ko. Jmm doesn't wanna fight. CAnelo did nothing until trout. Who is there?

Trout...who had just beat Cotto that Mayweather beat. A natural opponent you would think. Anyway, this is old ground. It's all about the next fight, which should be Canelo.

thats B.S...Dana White new the ratings of Pacquiao Marquez 3 within a couple hours after the fight..he compared the ppv to his fight on fox 11..i think it was Velazquez vs Dos Santos...if Dana White can find out fast so can schaefer

That is a lie. Final numbers take weeks. Look at Floyd-DLH being adjusted to 2.5M. There are many factors to consider. Regardless the event was a success, and there was nobody else for Floyd to fight. He fought the best, most hungry guy which also happened to be his mandatory.

So if Guerrero wasn't the legit #2..... who was?

Guerrero was as much a legit #2 as Khan is. He beat Berto..who had been off for how long? He beat Aydin...that makes you number #2? I'm sorry I like Robert and all but he was at 135 moved up to 147 and got a shot at a title overnight? Come on..

I was at a bar in Chicago that filled to capacity for the fight. People were standing outside waiting to get in. During the lead-up, I would talk about this fight in public and strangers would chime in with their thoughts. I was very surprised when I heard that it did under 1 mil.

[Cinci Champ]

There's an easy way to shut up all the sceptics. Have Showtime do an official release showing that it did in fact do over 1mil.

mayweather/goldenbo always does a official release atleast up to now i thought manny was only one who didnt

[lfc19titles]

haha damage control, can imagine this proven liar will boost the numbers now

even if the event does make 90m

showtime will take around 40 million of that

that leaves 50 million for golden boy, floyd and guerrero, oh and plus the cost of staging the fight and their promos they did themselves

someone is going to make less money than they expected, i think it might be floyd actually who takes the hit
