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

[DannYankee]

I can safely say the rematch would beat that comfortably.

How is that Espinoza saying it? It looks like the person who wrote the article is saying that. Espinoza has never gone on record and said what a fight needs to do in order to break even. Anybody who reveals that number is a numbnuts.

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.

You might be right.

I definitely think there's someone in GBP who doesn't like Schaefer, how else does GBP wind up in the Main Events lawsuit?

That article is INCORRECT. And it references a quote from Espinoza where he spoke about the Canelo fight, saying that he would be happy with $1.5 million or $2.5 million buys. But because the writer is an incompetent journalist, he spins it and assumes that this is the case all across the board. When Espinoza clearly was only talking about the Canelo fight.

"The goal is always to set a new record, the record being 2.5 million (pay-per-views buys) with De La Hoya and Mayweather. ***8216;Canelo,' as much of a star as he is, doesn't have the awareness that Oscar did as the time of the Mayweather fight, but he has a lot of heat behind him. So, 1.5 (million), 2.5 (million), I'd be happy with any of those," Espinoza said in closing.

Heard of it but first time reading it and it doesnt seem like Espinoza says that but more like writer opinion. Not saying its not true cause either way i dont care but it doesnt read like its from him

[SlySlickSmooth]

Force May-Pac and break the Canelo record

He makes amateurish mistakes in journalism by inappropriately rephrasing quotes to fit his agenda, and/or taking assumed information from elsewhere without fact-checking it.

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.

I'm gonna tell you the exact same thing as I told another Floyd fan.

"Funny you only say this now that Floyd's PPV sales have bombed. You weren't saying this when Manny's numbers bombed. I'm not neccessarily saying thay you care about the numbers but very convenient of you to talk about it now."
