Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Contract Extension is Close

[BUNGALOWS]

these companies have shareholders to answer to and set budgets. They cant just empty the bank without planning it out years in advance. These guys think these corporations can just make moves like they are owned by one guy.

Exactly. It doesn't happen like that in real life. Like I said in the other thread. There are a million and one variables going on behind the scenes that we are completely ignorant to. Don't ever take the surface for face value.

You do know companies like showtime have economist working for them. How do you think the get the figures for the guarantees for Floyd? They sit down and discuss what it would it would cost, what the gross would be and profit margin. So let's just say they have to borrow the money from parent company cbs. To cover his fight dates. They will only put out enough money to make a profit and not lose any money. So if Manny wanted to sign they would have money for him.

OK, so show me the article that says Showtime blew him away with a deal. I'm waiting.

Because the investment isn't worth it. You're talking about MMGay which has peaked and become overesaturated.

A multi billion dollar enterprise isn't worth taking all their talent away from? Are you serious?

Now you're just being dense for the hell of it.

How can Showtime offer him a deal if Manny is still under contract?

That's the whole point, Pac is too dumb to even let his contract run out so that other people can approach him without it being tampering.

Koncz is a ****ing rat. Him and Arum are probably robbing pacquiao blind. So pac isnt even there while theyre drafting the contract smh.

Jerk off I never said they made him offer. You were talking like you understood the business model of showtime and explain to you how your thinking was flawed. I'm not even claiming for what I'm saying to be showtime business model. I'm just saying a company will beg barrow and steal for anything that is lucrative, to the companies overall bottom line.

I'm pretty sure we would've heard of some rumblings by now. You know, like interest from another team. Like if the Bulls wanted Melo, we'd be hearing how the Bulls are very interested in Melo, and will do whatever it takes to get him this Summer.

Kind of like how Showtime can get it out into the press that they're very interested in Manny as soon as he gets out of his contract.

Not a peep. Not even from Oscar or Schaeffer.

Dude is popular enough to be independent and fight on a per fight bases, and this dude gone and sign 5 fights contract? This was an opportunity to dictate his finances and make lucrative bouts...c'mon, this can't be serious, dude....this dude...smdh.

Floyd signs a six fight contract, "Great businessman that Floyd"
Manny signs a multiple fight contract, "what a ****ing idiot, he has no business sense".

Where do the contradictions end with you cats?

You are a horrible business mind. Why would showtime or GBP. Tip their hands giving manny leverage against them and arum. Possibly using them to get a better deal from Arum all while still ultimately signing with Arum. Think my lad think.

How PPV's do you think Showtime is going to do a year? The Mayweather PPV's, Canelo PPV's and then Manny PPV's?
