The thread starter is correct. There's a huge difference in how rich people plan their finances and how people of average income plan them. A company isn't going to invest a huge sum of money for something that will only draw them money for the next couple of years; because in the grand scheme of things the money that they will earn is a mere pin prick.
The long term value of having Mayweather fight is in the exposure it gives them. They're solidifying their boxing brand, and improving the marketability of fighter's who will be around for the next 10 years.
What I feel would be financially damaging for them, in the long run, are fighters jumping ship. Like what happened with Andre Ward, after the Super Welterweight tournament, although I suspect they've learned to draft better contracts since.
