Comments Thread For: Schaefer Lashes Out At Arum Over Mayweather-Pacquiao

[Holywarrior]

The ranting of a child is a given clue there is more to it. Schaefer is a greedy banker like arum is a greedy bastard. They want it all. No one is flinching, but when both camp flops there next fight. I hope this super fight can happen come September.

Money talks for all men in this drama. Schaefer, arum, Floyd, Pac and all the rest who wants money. Their next fight will flop, hopefully so this can happen come sept.

The only reason money is talking now is because Pac is having financial trouble

GBP gets a lot more out of their relationship with Floyd than just a small cut of his PPV as subcontractors. You seem to be forgetting that Floyd is fighting GBP fighters who are under full contract and owe GBP a full promoter's stake.

Moreover, they have used his PPVs to makes guys like Danny Garcia and Canelo into stars, and use his persona to hype guys like Adrien Broner. GBP is doing very well right now, especially regarding their Barclay's shows. They put on fights that people want to see, they regularly stage events in NYC and LA instead of Vegas alone, and they stack their cards.

You must be forgetting they pay also the GBP fighters and the massive amount of ads to promote a floyd fight plus Floyd himself who asks **** load of money and the showtime cut, which if you add them all up leaves GBP promotions in the dirt. As Schaefer pointed out they have a thin margin of earnings for themselves. And articles have come out they lost money in the Guerrero and Canelo fight. -but as i have said Floyd gets paid no matter what.

Mark Taffet, the president of pay-per-view for HBO,

Taffet explained that pay-per-view events originating from overseas generally do between 30% and 40% of the buys compared to similar events that originate from the U.S.

"We knew there were challenges and tempered our expectations from the beginning," Taffet said. "It was an extraordinary effort by everyone involved, and we recognized that anything above 350,000 buys would be a success.

there you go.. anything more than 350k is a success. add the earnings in macau which is a mecca for rich gamblers and the ppv for a chinese country which has millions of people do the math dumbo. Pac get paid and so is Toprank.

Geez man.. The purse Pac and Arum is getting comes from 5 sources.

1 source Macau who wanted the fight there. A billionaire paid Arum and PAc so they can host the fight. Chaching!

2nd source China - that country is bigger than USA full of people to make a profit. Chaching

3rd source HBO USA - 470k buys chaching

4th source the other countries - Britain, europe,asia , latin, north america etc etc. the

5th - Phillipines alone gives a lions share of the PPV for PAc. around 2million dollars

Well for one Latin is not a country lol

Fan munching? What does that even mean? More like staying in reality and not fantasy land where everyone there thinks Floyd/Manny need eachother when they already make millions through guarantees

this is all true but u have to realize even if showtime breaks even with floyd it will still make them a **** ton of money. Since mayweather got to showtime their ratings have been going up and up and up. Not to mention mayweather will still have 1 or 2 blockbuster fights no doubt about it

stop making things up. The fight showed only one thing-that fans didn't want to purchase another BS manny fight.

Manny can take $35-40 mil if he wants to fight floyd. If not, rematch tim or fight provodnikov and see if he can sell over 500k ppv's.

Good to see the buying public has smartened up and is holding manny/bob accountable for not fighting floyd by not purchasing the ppv.

It's SO weird to me that people think Mayweather could POSSIBLY put CBS in debt

I find that funny as well. CBS makes Mayeather's guarantees during the first 10-12 minutes of an episode of Big **** Theory and the remainder of the whole boxing budget for the year in the last 18-20 minutes.
