While I don't care about the PPV#'s any more than the next person the fact is - as fans of good fights - we should be concerned.
By all accounts A Floyd PPV needs to do 1.4-1.5 million to be profitable for Showtime. Even if this fight did a million it'd be a huge loss and unlike after the Guerrero fight there is no Canelo fight looming to make up for it.
People who think Floyd's PPVs losing SHO a ton of money won't affect the quality of programming and fights are being naive.
I'm not going to take satisfaction in the numbers because Floyd still gets paid regardless - it's SHO that is the loser here as well as the rest of the guys who will be taking financial hits as Showtime tries to make up for their loss.Comment

If you say so. If thats the case-do you attribute 50% of ppv sales to JMM?
I see your response to toyman so its clear where you are at on this. You will accept as valid any reason anyone posts so long as the main point is manny sells as well as floyd even though the sales for his last 2 fights averages under 600k (if those numbers are correct)Comment

I don't think Glaser was that far out on Pac-Bradley, Bob still never gave a precise figure (said 750-800k) and the next fight is going to Macau due to the numbers.Comment

sure it could be 50/50 fan wise for the pac vs marquez 4 fight. im not gonna argue with that. and i didnt even mention anything about manny selling well so what are u saying?? i was only agreeing with what he said regarding floyd's stacked under cards. i know manny's numbers has been on the decline but i havent seen anything about it being under 600k! LOL!!!! but i see ur using that anyways LOL..
I said last 2 fight averages if the numbers are correct. I never went claimed they were gospel.
Perhaps we ar all over analyzing this. floyd is maintaining a significantly higher average number over his last 2-3 fights most likely because fans want to see him fight. Its probably just that simple.Comment

ok so that would mean manny is selling far south of what we are discussing. which really I couldn't prove and wouldn't try.
