Dan Rafael: 800-900k buys for Mayweather-Maidana

[Spoon23]

Too late...

Last time, the guy managed to make a fool out of himself...

Next time he will have to ask his fan boys for donations in order to make a fight.

You may be right.

This phrase is perfect for it,

'Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.'

Floyd has robbed fans too many times already. They have woken up.

You know? I used to watch with a certain amount of pleasure to his fights...
The last time he succeeded to piss me off...

I know you're one of the true boxing in here.

Your not a biased boxing fan.

It just shows Floyd's fuvked up antics are getting old.

He's playing us fans for fools. I feel you bud.

And that's with Khan and Broner on the card. 2 guys who were drawing a million,plus views on HBO/Showtime.
Another money loser for Showtime. How's that $32 million guarantee looking now. And I laugh at the people who said Canelo didn't bring any fan base with him PPV number wise. We've seen 2 flops financially for Showtime out of 3 fights.

Common misconception. Promoter guarantees purse, not SHO. "@iamnotwhoiam: People say SHO guarantees Floyd***39;s 32M purse. Since when...?"

It's not about who guarantees purses; it's about who pays purses... And I suspect that the one who is selling the PPV units is the one who doesn't pay, right?

I always thought the promoter got paid from the TV network, sponsors, and venue...Then paid their fighters. Showtime has to be paying GBP/TMT a good amount of money for the rights to broadcast this PPV card.

There's no doubt that GBP is paying Floyd Mayweather...but I think it's almost certain that Showtime has to indirectly pay for a good amount of Floyd's purse. How much is the real question

I suspect this is one of the main reasons why ODH is pissed with richard schaefer.

oscar knows the truth about floyd's real drawing power and realizes that his company stands to lose millions on expensive promotions and guarantees while only generating half of the required ppv buys to break even.

We're half way into floyd's contract, and so far its performed quite miserably. There are no more canelos out there to get the buys over 1 million. Dont be surprised if both sho and gbp are out of business in a few years' time.

"Rumble in the Jungle" was the paradigm for the "promoter-oriented" business model... "PPV" is the "TV channel-oriented" business model...

[Anderson Silva]

Floyd outsmarted them all lol

Slow clap..
