Comments Thread For: Floyd: PPV Record Can Fall Without Hitting 2.5 Million

[KaL-EL]

who is excited that Floyd is making $41mill for this fight

[Hitman932]

Who cares Floyd? If the PPV costs more then the broadcasters are keeping more too.

Revenue is nothing without profit margin. There are plenty of businesses out there that generate a ton of revenue and lose money and go out of business.

There have probably been 20 movies that had a higher box office gross than Jurassic Park just cause the cost of movie tickets have doubled over 20 years. Does that mean they were better movies? Put more asses in seat? Made more money for the studio or actors? no, no, no, no

Most of those buys will be from Mexicans and Latinos in general. They ( we) don´t care if they don´t eat for two days but they will definetly watch Canelo. Latinos but first, ask questions later.

Cumulative rate of inflation (2007-2013): 12.7%...

Then 2.5 mln PPV of $54.95 made $137,375,000, back in 2007... After applying the cumulative rate of inflation we get about $154,769,658.34 in today's money.
That means that, in order to hit the 2007 PPV figure, there is need to get a little more than 2 million buys at $74.95 (2,064,972 buys; more precisely).

That's only way you'll break the record. No way in hell this sells 2.5 million.

funny how he says "it's the revenue we bring in, not the PPV buys", but he doesn't mention that $1 in 2007 is worth more than $1 in 2012/2013

http://www.westegg.com/inflation/

Lets say each PPV in 2007 sold for $49.95
2.4m * 49.95 = $119,880,000.00

With inflation, $119,880,000 in 2007 is worth $132,293,000 in 2012 (I know this is 2013, but for the sake of arguement, lets say 2013 is roughly the same as 2012)

So if Floyd/GBP were looking to tie the record, they would need to make approximately $132,300,000 dollars spread across SD & HD PPV broadcasts.

Using ellerbe's most likely uneducated estimate of 80% of homes with a television have an HD set @ a price of $74.95, SD being $64.95:

Using 2.4 million as a base line, if they reached that number, they would not only hit the $132,293,000 equilibrium point to "tie" the 2007 record, they would slaughter it in revenue due to not only inflation, but the massive price hike on the PPV itself.

1,920,000 : HD @ 74.95 = $143,904,000
480,000 : SD @ 64.95 = $31,176,000
----------------------
2.4 million buys = $175,080,000

To tie the 2007 record, taking into account inflation, they would only need to sell approximately 1.81 million PPV buys @ 80% HD, 20% SD (Total revenue from 1.81m buys: $132,000,000)

pretty much what this guy said, lol. mine is just based on 49.95 instead of 54.95

This is why cable and satellite companies are fucked up. If most people already have HD, why the hell are premiums being put on high definition feeds?

I've just heard that "Floyd Mayweather Jr. Keeps His Money In One Bank Account With $123 Million In It"...

... He should diversify... Buy diamonds (but not huge diamonds)... Diamonds' price never goes down...

Will be streaming or watching the following day.

Hide your money ya'll, there's broke people in this thread. I've been waiting for this fight for so long I could care less about the price. It's 2013, stream it if you don't want to pay for it.
