Steve Forbes lost a lot more than $12 million running for president and getting less votes than a Peter McNeeley comeback PPV.
I'm just sayin'.
If a $12 million loss on one show was the price to get an exclusive deal with GBP, leaving HBO with only Arum's aging and limited stable, it positions Showtime to take over and is thus a great investment.
What Showtime makes or loses in one PPV with Money May isn't what matters -- it's what happens over the course of the contract, and if they lose money on a PPV but gain a bigger share of the market by strengthening their boxing programming and taking away customers from HbO then it's a very sound investment.
