      Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer lashed out when BoxingScene.com questioned him about the circulating industry rumors that last Saturday's Showtime pa


      "All of those Top Rankers and HBOers, they are going to come and say bullschit numbers, bullschit numbers. But not publicly, they are going to go behind the scenes. Let's do it in the open"

      "And then You take the numbers you have on Friday and you add between 10 to 18% and by the time you are done with those reporting cycles because those numbers always increase. It always increased between 10 and 20%, something like that. If you know you have a million by Friday, you know you are going to end up with at least 1.1 million.......that's just the way it works. And if anybody needs a phuking ABC on how the PPV collection process works, I'll be happy to give it."
      - Richard Schaefer


      So where are those numbers Richard since we are numbskull haters? You wouldn't be a liar now would you?

        Floyd doesn't need to fight X,Y or Z because its obvious he will beat them.
        Floyd doesn't need to release figures because its always over 1 million PPV's sold

        Floyd Fantasy Mayweather will dance to his own tune whilst his fans peddle the excuses and provide fantasy answers to fantasy questions.
        Beautifully put!

            They have to count all the buys by hand. Right now they are doing a recount in Florida. Just be patient people.

                if they were good numbers they would have released them.


                if people find out others are no longer buying mayweather fights they'll follow suit.

                    **** bombed, that's why.

                    Still no confirmed numbers from Showtime. Dan says it did 780k.

                      Dan said 870K. Most likely it did 900K like Pac-Bradley. No shame, boxing is invisible in America, but Floyd set himself up for it. Chavez Jr-Martinez doing 450K is a success, but 900K for Mayweather-Guerrero is a bust. Damn shame.
