    And on Floyd's recent interview.

    Floyd says its not worth fighting Pac for reason he is not on par with his numbers.

    Cough.. Cough..

    pacquiao literally sold the Bradley PPV on his own without any recognisable chief support, Mayweather has had the luxury of Garcia, Matthysse, Khan and Broner over at show time, which is a great strategy, hand it to GBP for putting on good shows but with TR the yare literally just selling Pacquiao on his own and he still does almost a million. That's impressive. And he is arguably the biggest name in the sport.

      96 mill+ in on the deal..........they better have made some money on it because they have invested close 0.1 billion dollars if not more, lol.

        And the only way Showtime doesn't suffer significant losses on a 850K buy PPV that they poured about $46 million into (fighter purses + promotions) is if another entity is bearing the financial capital/risk.
        Thank you Sir. Glad to see some people aren't living in fantasy land.

              These are not even bad PPV numbers. The only negative is Mayweather's guarantee, and honestly I have very little sympathy for Showtime and their business practice. Good for Floyd for cashing in.
              Both Khan and Broner bring in numbers when they headline their own fights... so it's not just boxing fans who care about it

                Those fights would have got mediocre ratings on Showtime, and paying Broner 1 million + for a tune-up

                  There are 2 kinds of flowmos. The one who needs special care for lack of EQ AND IQ, and the one who's blinded for their love for fraudster.

                  Either way, they have no form of logic in them.

                    Does anyone known if they are breaking even thus far with floyds contract? Obviously they made a bank off the canleo fight but both the other fights are under a million. Was the canelo fight enough on its own to cover floyds contract it was the highest gross ppv of all time.
