Showtime has reported they have lost over 16 million dollars on May's last two fights due to declining PPV sales.....

Where exactly do you see the cash how status??where exactly do you see justification for May to have a MUCH bigger cut for a Pac showdown....

tell me why 40-60 split is UNFAIR to May??? (Only due to May being the undefeated fighter otherwise it would be 50/50 IMO)

How much money did HBO lose on Pacquiao-Rios? How much did they lose on Pacquiao-Algieri? lol

acknowledge reality before uttering a word.

different type deals.

i believe top rank guarantees pac. while showtime guarantees floyd.

so if rios or algieri lost money, it's top rank who lost money not hbo.

The nice thing about being an NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, or football fan is that you never have to discuss the split necessary to get the Patriots-Broncos on the same field or ManU-ManCity. That's probably why boxing pales in popularity to almost every other sport.

Who is saying they lost 16 million on the last two fights. Do you even read the stuff you link to? Tell me what year that article is from.

Showtime never reported that. And Espinoza said the opposite.

And OP showed us a fat dan blog from 2013.

HBO didn't lose any money on those fights. PPV monies are always guaranteed by the promoter, not the network. The fight was shown on HBO PPV (not the same as regular HBO) and they take about 50% of the gross revenue. Floyd however,is guaranteed about 32 million per fight by Showtime (the network).

Floyd sells more ppvs vs common opponents
