Mayweather-Maidana does 854,000 PPV buys?

[way2strong]

these aren't bad numbers at all but with the amount that SHowtime have invested into Floyd, they need every fight to be a huge, 1+mill success, if it's not, then its like theyve lost money, which they have, considering Floyds salary.


The advantage is that it pushes Floyd into having bigger, better opponents...hopeuflly lol

right on point.If they drop his salary to say around 18m ..Those number's would be geat

He was giving an example of your kind. I'm the guy from the outside looking in.

He has cleared the path for you. Now that you know your kind is pathetic, you can now change

Pulls numbers out his ass.

No question Pac-Bradley did under 700,000 PPV. I never thought it would do 700,000. Bradley is the "best fighter that can***39;t draw" #boxing

He never mentioned having a source in that tweet though...that was just speculation

Nice numbers if so now where are those official Pac-Bradley 2 Numbers?

I think the rematch does better as long as they sell it right.

Froch Groves II is a similar situation (first fight was expected to be a wash out but the fight was way more competitive than most imagined) and this rematch is set to be one of the biggest UK fights of all time.



I dont know the ins and outs of the boxing business im sure, but do Showtime need to make money on Mayweathers fights for this deal to be a sound investment? This was a huge power play more than anything, if they can build some real next gen stars (say Canelo, Porter, Thurman, Garcia etc) off of having floyd on their network and dominate boxing coverage becuase of that, then that is surely going to bring in plenty of money in the future.

Obviously its dissapointing Floyd doesnt have the opponents to make bigger numbers now though.

Anyway, **** PPV.

Damn, Floyd is single-handedly bankrupting Showtime sports.

Actually none. U are the one who gets upset when ppl point out how idiotic u sound. I got 3 bottles but I'm the emotional butthurt one? Smh. Ppl think men act like this? U guys got the wrong definition of what it means to be a man. Too feminine around here fir my liking. I can smell the *****.

Damn, Floyd is single-handedly bankrupting Showtime sports.

And laughing all the way to the bank. He gets $32 mil minimum whether his fights do 2 million or 100K buys. I'm sure when Showtime made the contract offer to Haymon he was like:

@HookRightBoxing @RickGlaser1 No one knows the #s. Cable hasn***39;t even reported yet...but anyone who predicts red ink doesn***39;t understand PPV.

Stuff like this makes me laugh. Floyd - Canelo PPV numbers were released in less than 4 days and that was the biggest money fight in boxing history. Chavez-Martinez was released in 5 days. This is the digital age, everything is done by computers, it isnt some guy counting 1 by 1. Its been 8 days and they certainly know where its at
