How many PPV's does it take to make Floyd-Maidana a success?

[MRCHOKEaMF]

I read on here that it would take 1.5 million.

Showtime about to lose some more money on Money

I read on here that it would take 1.5 million. this is his source....a forum. lol you cant make this **** up lol, I read it on a forum or boxing fans so it must be true, lol

[Adamjr91]

850-1m at $70 a pop would do. If you factor in international revenue I don't think anyone will be complaining after it.

I read on here that it would take 1.5 million.

b#llsh#t!Mayweather-Ortiz made 1.25 mln and Floyd got 40 mln (25 guaranteed + 15 bonus)
When Mayweather-Cotto made 1.5 it was huge success, both paid bonus.Floyd got 45 mln Cotto ~10-12 (their guarranteed purses were 32 and 8).Guaranteed purse for may 3 only 35 mln.

Guess they didnt make NOTHING according to the Forum Fight # expert. lol

1.5 x 60$ = 90mil not counting ads sold, gate and other revenue streams. SIMPLE ARITHMETIC now if Floyd gets 32mil Chino gets 1.5mil thats 33.5 hell all the other fighters combined arent gonna come to a 50mil TOTAL so im sure they are doing good. Stay away from business. and get in a MATH CLASS!
now back to your regular hating program.....

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I think with floyd's huge guarantee, it needs to do about 1.2 million for the break even point...

If this does a million plus buys i will be impressed.. I think it will just fall short of 1 mil..

Higher than the ghost fight, but not quite jmm numbers, probably close to the hatton numbers...

you forgot the $45mm that the cable carriers will take.

[mrpain81]

Lets see...

Mayweather $32 Million - Maidana $1.5 Million - Rest of the undercards lets say $4 Million.

That's about $37.5 Million.


1 Million PPV buys = $35 Million when the cable company gets half.

Gate will be over $15 Million but lets say $15.

Sponsors a couple million.

Closed circuit TV another couple million with the movie theaters.

International TV rights has to be some more big coin.

That's already around $55 Million in the pot.


If it's true that SHO needs to sell 1.5 Milllion buys to break even for a $37 million dollar purse.

How can Manny vs. Bradley sell 650k with that card having a $26 Million guarantee purse and the gate was around $7 Million?

They will be fine with anything over 900k-1 Million.

Guys. This is not about the purses. I want to know the amount of buys that makes it a success. Both for Showtime and in comparison with Pac's fight and Floyds standard.

Apparently it's at least 1.5M, Nelson - http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=637434

[Robbie Barrett]

Mayweather - 32
Maidana - 1.5
Khan - 1.5
= 35 million


Pacquiao - 20
Bradley - 6
= 26

If Mayweather-Maidana needs 1.5 mil to break even then Pacquiao-Bradley 2 must have lost money by the same calculations selling under 800k.
