Comments Thread For: Showtime: Mayweather-Guerrero PPV a Financial Success

[Tha_Greatest]

Actually I'm not angry because I don't care what the PPV does personally, I bought and enjoyed it. I do find it annoying how much hyper Canelo gets for doing almost nothing his entire career. The only time PPV are relevant is when it comes to setting up a fight between two A side fighters (may-pac) luckily Canelo is B side so it shouldn't be an issue. You seem to call 1+mil a failure yet hype canelo who got the same number to watch him for free. Its hypocrisy at it's finest.

i dont like caelo, lol, i just like laughig at floyd, lol, he desrves it lil homie, lol

Too many lols. Anyhow there's really nothing to laugh at when he sells more PPVs than anyone in the sport right now. With little promotion and him not playing the villian it did surprisingly well. I don't understand the Floyd hate, he's the best fighter of this era by far. Unless you're talking outside the ring and not inside.

From the third paragraph of the article:

"The final numbers were not in yet, but HBO did not dispute Arum's figure".

So let's review-

Arum says Pacquiao-Opponent did X amount of buys. HBO agrees. Arum is a liar.

Schaefer angrily curses about Floyd-Guerrero doing 'over' X amount of buys. Showtime agrees about a non number. They are telling the truth.

OK, got it. Pretty simple formula

It says it wasn't disputed not that they agreed. There's another article I'm not going to dig up, but it's said by HBO that....."Arum asked not to publicly release numbers, so we leave that up to the promoter to decide." If arum says don't say what they are, they won't it's bad business for HBO to go against Promoters.

darn! you were able to take college? crap! what school? they should close it right away! One ****** floydiot alumnus is enough in this world!!! hahahah!

Yeah! And able to get Masters! The nerve of some universities! Application asked if i was a floyd fan and they still let me in.

How about you? Has your time come an gone or are you just finishing high school

Fine, so then I'll wait patiently and twiddle my thumbs until Showtime does an official release and stops telling us about what they hope the buys exceed. That's all we have at this point, they've been saying the same thing about 'over a million' with no real figure since Tuesday when 3 journalists from 3 different organizations reported their findings about the buy rate.

[Fetta]

floyd sold less than a million and you shouldnt be angry about it, its a fact, lol

Im not angry but your so aggressive in telling me i am so i must be.

[Deevel916]

So Dan Rafael from espn and Kevin iole from yahoo sports, 2 guys with absolutely no stake in whether the fight is a success or not reports that they're hearing the ppv numbers are far short of a mil. Espinosa who is an affiliate of Gbp and exec at showtime reports that it did over a mil. Who seems to have more to lose/gain by lying?

Im not angry but your so aggressive in telling me i am so i must be.
