Showtimes not focusing on profit with Mayweather.

This thread should have been deleted after the opening post.

Why some posters felt the need to come in and defend the ridiculous opening post... I'll never know.

**** is as **** does, lad.

Floyd is now a 'loss leader'.

[tangalog2200]

Floyd is there to raise Showtimes profile and he's done that. If Showtimes lucky they break even over the 6 fight deal. HBO has been dominating boxing programming in the US for over 25 years. That's not going to change in 2 years. Personally I don't think Showtime has done a good enough job promoting the young talent they do have. Floyd's contract is already at the half way point.

may be so.....

but if you can not make money out of the "money" man now...

how do you make money when the "money" man is gone?

sho thinks there would be another "money" man?

that "money" man would be better off with another pacman?

Showtime is losing money and Floyd is just bringing in more and more!!! Lmfao that ugly lil lizard is the man. Got away with ducking PAC for yrs, picks his fighters gloves and makes a **** load of money while the company paying for his fights is losin money. FFS, how does he do it???

Someone's mad

Just confirms what i mentioned. Signed to bridge the gap in subscribers and grow existing market share and penetrate new markets. Canelo fight prob offset losses if any in Maidana and Guerrero.

don't expect the peanut gallery to actually read or understand this article, regardless of how simple the concept is.

Whether Showtime makes profit with Mayweather or not, that's not what they are focusing on. Boxing will continue after Mayweather. They are thinking long term. They are using Mayweather for exposure and viewers. Not profit. The profit will come after Mayweather retires and Showtime has a big following. It seems like Showtime is going on the right path right now. They are stacking Mayweather's undercards and building young fighters. So once again, Mayweather is there for exposure. Not profit. The profits will come from the future like Thurman, Porter, Danny Garcia, Canelo, Wilder, Quillen, Leo Santa Cruz, etc.

WHOAAAH!!! you won the Internet today, youre the best APOLOGIST of the day.

Screw Showtime - I am not some Floyd Mayweather whore. I will not buy their ****** God-damned Maywether farces. And...neither are a lot of other people. If Showtime wants to put on crap fights...then go ahead. We ain't paying for them - and the PPV numbers reflect that!

Deal!
