Not really a surprise if true and Showtime won't be worried, they will look at the deal over the 6 fights,not individually. They would have clauses in the contract so they can have a say on opponents.
Canelo will do big numbers and a Pac fight will too, so as long as Floyd does those two fights the rest can make losses. If Floyd won't fight Pac ST will want harder opponents in the other fights.
Tv companies makes losses on shows all the time, especially with sports, it's called a loss leader. The idea is you get viewers in and that leads them to watch other shows on your channel or channels. It also raises your brand. Over here in Aus the station that shows the football almost always wins the overall ratings even though its a small part of the programming. People identify with channels that show their heroes.
That said Floyd needs an arch enemy to sell big.

I hope floyd doesn't ever jump of a bridge because there might be the biggest mass suicide this country has ever seen.... Show time is in the business of making money and they are not "comfortable" losing almost half their boxing budget. When they signed the contract I am 100% sure they did not foresee losing a dime on any fight. There is a reason hbo said no... They always seem to make the right boxing moves. Desperation moves are bad for business and this is just another example. I bet show time put pressure on floyd to fight canelo like he has never felt before, and even if the fight is extremely successful I doubt show time makes up the 12m loss.
