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

[Bullrider]

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.

Espinoza finally got a first hand look at the real numbers. To his amazement, they're not really that huge. He figured there's no possible business sense in lying other than inflate the ego of one man who keeps demanding huge money.

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



*Espinoza whispers something in his ear*

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

Numbers are down and they don't wanna get laughed at anymore. That's all it is.

no way numbers out less than a week

As weird as it may sound, I have no problem with the decision. Fans seem SO concerned about purses, ratings and revenue as if they were getting a percentage from the earnings. It is a bit pathetic.

It is useless to most fans except those involved in the business side of boxing. However, most people in this forum just use the numbers to bash a fighter or their fanbase.

Who cares what someone makes? (Leo for example making 750k... so what? you jelly brah?)... Who cares if the fight flops on PPV? The important thing is what happens up in that ring and if we enjoy it or not.

As much as I hate Floyd, I enjoy the hell out of his events for real. And the same goes for all big PPV events.

people need to get real and stop acting like kids.

espinoza can toss any number and people will believe it. there's zero way of verifying it. nada, none, nil, zero. even fat dan can toss any number and fans will circle around it, come up with all kinds of interpretations, excuses, etc. again, how will you verify it? there's simply no way.

question is, why does espinoza prefer not to lie? remember, he can throw any number and people will believe it.

use your common sense.
