Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Maidana: Highest Selling PPV Of 2014, But…

i never said they'll go bankrupt over it but if they keep it up they might very well be LOL.. either way they're hurting if their paying floyd 32mil and only geting 900k in return for ppv and that was my whole point of quoting u in the first place

I know you didn't say they'll go bankrupt. Someone else said that, and that's why I said what I originally said about the $32 million. And no, there is no way networks like Showtime, CBS, HBO, etc, will go bankrupt over such a deal.

showtime is losing money, this is not a laughing matter. yall should be brain storming on how floyd can promote his next fight to make showtime some money in return.

I don't think Floyd cares about what profits the networks make. The networks have been making money off fighters/athletes for years, and now Floyd is the first athlete to turn the tables. Plus I think Maidana did enough promote the rematch without Floyd's help. 85% of the people are watching Floyd to see him lose, and the closer it gets (and it's getting close), the more they pay.

These fl0mos wont be laughing once Les moonves decides Showtime Sports has hemorrhaged enough money and decides to cut boxing. I wonder where al gaymon will decide to take his fighters then.

I don't have shares in Showtime, Mayweather Promotions or anything else connected with the fight so why should I give a ****? It was an excellent night of boxing.

^^^^^^^This right here

I think at this point the greatest myth is that most people tune-in to see Mayweather lose.

Damn you mad.

The worst boxing does in terms of business, the more likely it gets its budget cut or cut completely, which means no boxing for anybody.
