Comments Thread For: Roach: Khan Can't Beat Mayweather, PPV Will Lose Money

[uncommon]

475,000 buys x $59.99 = $28,495,250

Let say 30% bought in HD = $1,425,000

Around $30M revenue in ppv + Macau Live Gate less pac $18M & $4M rios + around $2M for the undercard.

Bottomline : Top rank did not lose money

Have you any physical evidence of this at all? Of course you don't. Only the "Top Rank" agents do and they aren't about to make facts public. So, really, like the rest of us, you have no idea how many views were sold nor what any profit, if any, was made.

[Carpe Diem]

It'd be funny as hell if the fans boos them non-stop in all of their press conference tour.


Floyd: First of all, I wanna thank god! I wanna thank my team! You know, like I said before, Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe, both those guys have done a hell of job.

Floyd: Amir Khan is a solid fighter. He's a young, strong, hungry champion.

Crowd:Booing

Floyd: It's obvious he done something right thus far to get to this point.

Crowd: more boos

Floyd: you don't get to this level without doing something right.

Floyd: Like i said...

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOO

Floyd: Like i said before..

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOO

Floyd: Like i said before, I can't overlook this guy. He's tough, he's hungry, I'm dedicated to my craft.

Crowd:BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Floyd: Like i said before(BOOOOOOOOO). You know, like i said before(BOOOOOOOOO), like i said.(BOOOOOOOOOO)**** this ****. I'm out of here.

you just compared 15 ppv's to 9..and that is embarrassing

Is this as embarrassing?


Manny’s last fight in November against Juan Manuel Marquez drew 1.41 million PPV buys, while Floyd’s fight last September against Victor Ortiz drew 1.25 PPV buys.
Floyd’s fight with Marquez in 2009 drew 1 million PPV buys.

Pacquiao’s fight with Antonio Margarito in 2010 drew 1.5 million PPV buys, while Mayweather’s fight Shane Mosley drew 1.4 million PPV buys. Despite Mosley being perceived as a shot fighter, Pacquiao drew 1.3 million PPV buys in their May 2011 fight.

In total Pacquiao’s last three fights have drawn 3.86 million PPV buys, while Mayweather’s last three fights have pulled in 3.65 million PPV buys. In summation Pacquiao drew in 210,000 more PPV buys than Mayweather did. When you take into account the higher number of PPV buys that Pacquiao’s fights have drawn it translates into a cool $10,000,000 in cash.

It is true that the Floyd Mayweather – Oscar De La Hoya fight in May 2007 drew a record 2.4 million PPV hits. Many boxing observers largely attribute the high PPV numbers in that fight to the extreme popularity of the Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya and the fact that it was held on the Cinco De Mayo holiday.

But Pacquiao’s recent higher PPV numbers only tell part of the story. In the same three fights Pacquiao sold out the venues, while Mayweather’s last three fights were not sold out. In addition, when Manny Pacquiao fights at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas a significantly higher number of high rollers from Asia fly into Vegas for his fights. The economic impact in Las Vegas for a Pacquiao fight far outstrips that of any other fighter.

It's going to be hard for Mayweather to say his normal **** like because Khan isn't coming off impressive victories or Top ranked like his usual opponents.

Showtime is not paying Mayweather $50 to $60 million per fight. That is just some BS number that you haters came up with to justify your criticism of Mayweather

Since you seem to be In the the know, feel free to provide Mayweathers figures from Showtime.

To the haters, don't like Floyd, don't t buy the fight. Don't care for his opponent, stop hyping up guys like Canelo and Robert as the next best thing and will defeat Floyd. Also stop begging Floyd to go up two weight divisions when the guys will still get beat and yall will have something else to cry about. Enjoy these last few rights Floyd have left on his contract and move to someone else. ....

Pacquiao-Margarito ain't 1.5 million but 1.1.

In total Pacquiao’s last three fights have drawn 2.2 million PPV buys, while Mayweather’s last three fights have pulled in 4.5 million PPV buys.

with all due respect you had a few posts in the thread where the poster posted the pic of floyd's check from GBP. So did they pay him that on top of GBP?

50 millions off Guerrero bout.
80 off Alvarez (highest onebout profit in boxing history).

You are writing all these numbers like they are facts. How could any of us know who or how many watched what? None of those numbers could be verified.
