Comments Thread For: Espinoza: Mayweather-Maidana Profitable, Part 2 Worthy

[The Tase]

i dont have a problem with this fight.

pac fans should steer clear of criticizing this fight considering pacquiao is gonna fight algeria.

[FLY TY]

Now here comes the BS. "Oh, he's lying to protect Floyd." "Showtime is losing money." "Haymon is the devil." But what they can't explain is, even with less than 1 million PPVs, Mayweather vs. Maidana I is still the highest PPV event of 2014 thus far, and the only fight capable of beating that is Canelo vs. Lara. Cotto vs. Martinez was a flop, and Pacquiao vs. Algeri will most definitely be a flop. Two years, Forbes highest paid athlete on the planet earth. Men lie, Women lie...numbers never lie.

Canelo-Lara, while a good fight for boxing fans, is not attractive to the public as a whole, which is why I laughed at ppl on here who wanted Floyd to fight Lara in September. Canelo-Lara is not doing anywhere close to 800K.

That doesn't really prove anything. It could simply mean that Maidana rematch would be the least unprofitable out of all the available options while being stuck with the Mayweather contract. Not saying there was no profit for sure, but the other options would do worse than Maidana I.

Exactly...

Hey there Jr's Boyfriend ! The only reason there are big numbers for Jr is because he is NOT loved (but by you) but because people are desperate to see this FRAUD KO'd !

what do you expect Espinoza to say? "We lost a bunch of money on the fight but it was entertaining so we expect the rematch to do better?" Of course he will say it was profitable. They quickly announced the Mayweather-Canelo numbers for breaking records but for this fight it is "The fight was so good but people are too focused on the numbers." LMAO!! They had the Canelo numbers out in a week they were so "focused" on them themselves. This guy cracks me up.

They fabricate the Guerrero fight numbers and this fight has already reported as doing under 900k so they just refuse to release the numbers since it was already leaked on Twitter. That right there more than anything tells you the Maidana fight wasn't profitable and that they are banking on the rematch doing a lot better because the first fight was close.

He is right in that fans care too much and harp too much on numbers but its hypicritcal on his part because he does the same thing when the numbers are good and won't release them when they are poor. Love him or hate him but at least Arum has the balls to release the numbers even when they are poor

"Espinoza told BoxingScene.com that Mayweather, through his own promotional company, covers the cost of the pay-per-view undercard and the press tour."

Looks like Mayweather promotions will be promting this by himself

So, they made money but they won't show any numbers must be legit.

[sicko]

It is an acceptable match up I guess but me personally I would have rather seen Mayweather fight someone...NEW instead of the same "ONLY A PUNCHERS CHANCE OPPONENTS"

Yeah it will do its numbers and make its Profit but still...

LOL.. STFU GAYB1TCH ... Froch-Groves is the highest 2014 PPV .. why do you fraudatics always feel the need to bring up Pacquaio and everything involving his life to try and defend a grown a ss ManBoy

because they're fantasy dreamers. they're of the belief that only pac fans are capable of bashing their hero, who is an established duck long before pac came into the picture. black boxers', like holmes, foreman, rjj, srl, tyson, lewis, corley, tyson, judah, opinions of floyd won't matter to them.

No wonder Garcia, Peterson, Jacobs, Broner and Mattyse are all fighting on Showtime. Showtime might have made some money or broke even, but that undercard was out of control and it didn't help the buys at all. Get ready for J'eon "tested positive" Love vs Guacamole (ranked 250 and a division below him) the Al Haymon way.
