Comments Thread For: Espinoza Explains Showtime's Position on PPV Numbers

[maguirre]

It's obvious that his last fight flopped. They're so embarrassingly low that Espinoza can't even throw any number.

I'm just trying to figure out how 900k sells is embarrassing, though? Even if you subtract 200-300k from that, its still a solid number.

The numbers would be great if Floyd was making what cotto or canelo, Marquez type paydays and getting 5-12 million, but with his 32 mil fee plus a few million for an opponent plus a few million on undercard, it needs huge numbers..

Undercard was much cheaper this time though I think it cost like what it cost to pay just Broner for the first Maidana card.

They certainly could have done a better job for a million + but I do think they were wise to spend a lot less on it. They just made bad to very bad choices

Who said they did 900K? Where's the source? Espinoza didn't release any.

It could be as low as 500K or less. All these years these PPV numbers have been over exaggerated. Espinoza finally discovered the real numbers. Schaefer is gone.

Basically what he's saying, is our numbers are down and we don't want to share them with you because it's embarrassing.

yup ..................

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Showtime basically axed their own foot when they offered Floyd that multi million dollar deal.

Floyd: Men lie, women lie, numbers don...



*Espinoza whispers something in his ear*

Floyd: What? We're not releasing the numbers any more?

It's like this, Showtime is paying 850 per month for a Honda Civic, manual transmission. The car is economical, doesn't have a lot of power, but it's efficient and will last. You just can't expect to race it with the big dogs.
