Comments Thread For: Arum: We've Done Everything To Fight Mayweather

[flipbjefrox]

they did't lose money. They made big money. Floyd just gets paid more than the network. Something that pacquiao will never be powerful enough to do.

They neede 1 mil to break even and they didn't. They loss money=flop

Your logic is so ******ed Im just shaking my head now.

So suppose you have Fighter A who generates 100M but induce a loss of 10M because the admin cost and boxer's purse is 110M.

Then you have fighter B who generated 30M and induce a profit of 10M because the admin cost and boxer's purse is 20M.

You'll give a bigger or equal purse to boxer B because he generated profit in a ****ty fight against a nobody in China with no tax ?

Well if thats your logic they should find a freaking nobody that generates 50K and give him a purse equal to Floyd...

Typical Pac fan...

Floyd isn't a draw when you're losing money. Regardless of how much he generates losing money = flop

If you don't believe what arum says even though mayweather was saying himself for years he didn't want the fight, just YouTube myqeather bob costas interview, that's fine don't take his word. However you should take the word of 3rd party people who know about the negotiations. For instance, les moonves president of CBS confirmed arum is the one trying to get tue deal done! Also yahoo sports confirmed arum is trying to get it done and mayweathers side doesn't really want it! So you can believe the b.s. Damage control from mayweather or you can believe people who have no reason to lie, and les moonves who would have a reason to lie is even saying it lol

So if they made 8m buys but needed 8.05M buys to break even you would call it a flop ? And you would give Pac equal purse even if he didnt do 300k buys. Your logic is the logic of a 3 years old toddler.

Its a flop big time. It was around 300.000 ppv's. Thats a flop. And it gets worse. It happend in pacs own asian market. Thats a ****ed up flop. Its gets even worse. The majority of the buys were here in the united states. Flop flop flop flop flop

Gaining profit = flop but losing showtimes = success? What kind of school u guys attended

The point of having an event is to gain money. If you break even or loss money, then you worked for free lol. It's a flop. What's so hard to get about that. It isn't about PPV numbers it's whether the event made money or not smh

It's about who is the bigger draw and can generate the more revenu. This person should receive the biggest part of the pie. Your logic is so ******ed, it's basically saying that Reggie Strickland should be pay as much as Floyd if they fought, because Strickland generated a profit of 300$ to the bartender that presented his fight.

part of floyds guarantee is cover at the gate. Thats why the nevada commission can pin point the fighters purses. Showtime and mayweather are doing big business. And lets not forget the mayweather promotions was the lead promoter. Floyd mayweather dam near brought in over $ 150 million. No flop what so ever

[Da Machine]

Have always said Arum is the main reason the fight isnt happening. Mayweather a distant 2nd.

I can't believe people ignore this.

How can you be a draw when your salary doesn't = revenue? That's economics 101.
