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

[wiz1030]

Wondering what SHO's and Golden Boy's returns are for these Floyd fights. He's making a killing himself but they're 1/3 in terms of successes for his contracted PPV's so far.

Going to be real interesting to see who the September opponent will be. If there even is a fight in September?

[Check_hooks]

There's about a 0% chance of that happening.

If Floyd didn't show any loyalty to HBO than why should SHO show loyalty to Floyd? Especially when hes talking about retirement and posting ********s on twitter

CBS/SHO only care about shareholders and Espinoza said this fight needed to do 1.5 million minimum to break even.

Factor all that together and I'd say its a definite possibility

I bought it so theres 1

Espinoza never said they need to do 1.5 million to break even. He only said for the fight versus Canelo, he would be happy with 1.5 million or 2.5 million buys.

Seems like Glaser wasn't wrong after all.

I still can't completely take the guy at his word, but there has been a few things here and there that makes me believe he does know someone from the golden boy office.

Like this random tidbit from a while back

@RickGlaser1 Truth is Schaefer***39;s been banished from #GBP offices til #Oscar goes back home to PR! Schaefer is so persona non grata! #boxing

Sure enough, the "vacation" is confirmed by Richard Scheafer later.

Only temporarily for a couple weeks it seems when Oscar came back to do some stuff. Don't know what's going on right now.

Yes he did

Espinoza does not have any projections on what the Mayweather-Maidana fight will generate on pay per view. But Mayweather needs to get at least 1.5 million to justify the $32 million guarantee that Showtime is giving him as a minimum for each of those six fights in the contract.

All this arguing over numbers is a joke. It's got people actually complaining because one company puts together a GOOD undercard.

I don't give a damn if your name is Pacquiao, or Mayweather, or what the fuck ever. To get 900,000 people to sit down and pay $70 to watch you, is amazing.

Amazing that you can get 900k people to sit down and watch for $70 and still lose money. I agree.

Quite the feat by Showtime and GBP.

32 million guaranteed. Biggest mistake since Madoff.
