Mayweather-Maidana does 854,000 PPV buys?

so Floyd said he'll be getting $70M?

If the fight sold 850K buys @ $70 ($65 for standard, $75 for HD), then the fight generated roughly $60 mil in revenue. A bit more than half goes to the cable/satellite provider, leaving $30 mil for the promoter (Floyd) and network (Show) to split.

That's not even enough to cover Floyd's guarantee, let alone the 'most expensive undercard ever' or the promotional costs ($10-$12 million). I don't know if it's CBS/Showtime who personally provide Floyd with his paydays, but whoever does just lost a fair deal of money on this if this number is true.

Imagine how many PPVs would be sold if they showed Canelo without his pants on.

This is probably going to turn out fake like all the first reports

This **** right here. Floyd just had the most successful PPV of all time and you guys are talking about him putting Showtime out of business?

actually they tally it up in a few days, only direct tv and satelite etc take a few more days to tally up. A week is more the sufficient to tally the numbers.

How long has it taken to get the Pac-Bradley 2 numbers?

that's not good numbers for the money man.


monetary wealth and materialistic pleasure is fleeting. but god's love for you is eternal and will follow you long after you die and when your soul leaves this plane.

floyd should seek the wealth of the lord and find peace in everlasting love as opposed to monetary wealth which is finite and meaningless in the end.

god doesn't judge you by the clothes on your back but by your actions, belief and the love in your heart.

If there was a god then CJ Ross would have never been able to be a judge.

its so funny to me to see this and even Arum talking about the dissapointing Pac-Bradley numbers. Everyone has become so jaded that they act like 850,000 buys is garbage now? Those use to be super mega numbers. I remember one time that people thought you had star status if you could do like 450. Now its either a mil or bust.

At the end of the day, I could care less either way. Its not going in my pocket. I just want to see good fights. F the numbers

Slurp slurp slurp

Good numbers from an 18-1 underdog.
